## Summary of CISA Known Exploit Vulnerability (KEV) Integration

The CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Integration enhances ServiceNow Vulnerability Response by ingesting data from the Cybersecurity \& Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) KEV catalog.
This integration helps government agencies and enterprises prioritize and remediate actively exploited vulnerabilities efficiently by enriching Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) data within the ServiceNow instance.
Show full answer Show less  

## Key Features

* **Data Enrichment:** The integration maps CISA CVE data to your existing vulnerability records, updating fields such as CVE ID, due date, date added, vendor/project, product, and flags vulnerabilities known to be used in ransomware campaigns.
* **Known Ransomware Indicator:** Starting with Vulnerability Response version 21.0, vulnerabilities flagged as used in ransomware campaigns are marked in the National Vulnerability Entry database and rolled up to third-party vulnerability entries.
* **SSVC Values:** The integration displays Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC) values on third-party entries, providing additional prioritization context.
* **Automated Synchronization:** The integration runs automatically as a daily scheduled job to keep vulnerability data current, with the option for manual execution of scheduled jobs.
* **Run-As User Configuration:** The integration uses a configured run-as user (default: VR.System) for execution; this value should not be changed.
* **Access and Management:** Customers can view and manage the integration under Vulnerability Response \> Administration \> Integrations \> CISA Known Exploit Vulnerability Integration.

## Key Outcomes

* Provides timely, prioritized vulnerability data from CISA to enhance decision-making and remediation efforts.
* Improves risk management by highlighting vulnerabilities actively exploited in ransomware attacks.
* Ensures your vulnerability database stays synchronized with authoritative external vulnerability information.
* Facilitates compliance and security posture improvements by focusing remediation on the most critical and exploited vulnerabilities.  
The Vulnerability Response integration with the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities
(KEVs) catalog ingests data to help you effectively prioritize and remediate these
vulnerabilities.

CISA enables urgent and prioritized remediation of actively exploited vulnerabilities for
government agencies and corporations.

## About CISA {#cisa-vuln-integration__section_cwm_w4s_c5b}

Cybersecurity \& Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is a U.S. Cybersecurity \& Infrastructure Security Agency that publishes a report on the most exploited vulnerabilities. It easily integrates with Vulnerability Response to map Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) vulnerabilities enriching the data in your instance. This information is then rolled up to the Third-Party Vulnerability Entries table. The earliest due date is considered for the roll-up to the vulnerable items.  
Note:  
The CISA Exists check box for CVEs retrieved by CISA.  
Values retrieved from the CISA integration:

* CVE ID
* Due date
* Date added
* Vendor/Project
* Product
* Known ransomware (starting from v21.0 of Vulnerability Response, a new field Known To Be Used in Ransomware Campaigns is ingested from the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs) catalog. It's indicated by the flagging of the Known ransomware field on the National Vulnerability Entry database table. The flag is set at the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) level and rolled up to the third-party entry (TPE).
{#cisa-vuln-integration__ul_g2y_fwk_c5b}

There is a configured run-as user for each integration record. The default value for this
user is VR.System. Do not change this value.  
Note:  
The CISA Exploit section of the third-party entry form also displays SSVC (Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization) values rolled up from CVE entries. See [SSVC enrichment for CVEs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/p3sVfUU1Fr~_mYcUTH_QKw "Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM) enriches CVE entries with SSVC (Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization) decision values from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). These values provide additional risk signals that you can use to analyze and prioritize vulnerabilities. This enrichment is available only in USEM.") for more information.

## Scheduled jobs {#cisa-vuln-integration__section_g2x_3ns_c5b}

The CISA Integration is invoked automatically as a daily scheduled job. You can also
execute individual scheduled jobs manually. Scheduled jobs simplify the vulnerability
remediation life cycle by keeping the instance synchronized with other vulnerability
management systems.
