Use Case

It's in the News. Are You Exposed?

A critical vulnerability drops. A vendor gets breached. A new adversary campaign surfaces. Your CISO asks: “are we affected?”

Mallory answers in minutes, not hours.

The Problem

Every Breaking Event Is a Fire Drill

Your team is skilled. But the process for investigating breaking cyber events is still manual, scattered, and slow. The same scramble, every time.

The CISO asks 'are we affected?' You don't know yet.

A critical CVE hits the news. Slack lights up. Leadership wants answers. Your team starts the scramble: reading advisories, checking asset inventories, querying scanners, Slacking asset owners. Hours pass before you can say anything with confidence.

Every breaking event triggers the same fire drill

Log4Shell. MOVEit. Citrix Bleed. The pattern is always the same: news breaks, leadership asks, your team drops everything to manually investigate. There's no repeatable process, just adrenaline and spreadsheets.

By the time you have the answer, adversaries have moved

Ransomware operators weaponize critical CVEs within hours of disclosure. If your exposure investigation takes a day, you're giving adversaries a head start. The window between disclosure and exploitation is shrinking fast.

How Mallory Helps

From Fire Drill to Structured Response

Mallory turns breaking cyber events into instant, structured exposure investigations. It reads the advisory, checks your environment, and delivers a clear answer before leadership finishes typing the question.

Breaking Event Monitoring

Mallory watches the same sources your team does: CVE disclosures, vendor advisories, security researcher blogs, dark web forums, and mainstream news. When something breaks, Mallory is already reading it.

  • Real-time monitoring of CVE feeds, vendor advisories, and security news
  • Dark web and underground forum tracking for early exploitation signals
  • Source confidence scoring: confirmed exploit vs. unverified claim

Instant 'Are We Affected?' Answers

When a vulnerability hits the news, Mallory immediately correlates it against your environment. It checks your CMDB, cloud infrastructure, SBOMs, and vendor dependencies to tell you within minutes whether you're exposed, where, and how badly.

  • Automated correlation against your CMDB, cloud assets, and SBOMs
  • Identification of affected assets, their owners, and their exposure level
  • Vendor and third-party dependency checks for supply chain impact

Full Investigation Context in One Place

No more tabbing between six tools. For every breaking event, Mallory assembles the full picture: what the vulnerability is, who's exploiting it, which of your assets are affected, what detection coverage you have, and what to do next.

  • Threat actor and campaign intelligence for the specific vulnerability
  • Detection gap analysis: can your SIEM/EDR catch exploitation?
  • Recommended remediation steps tied to affected assets and owners

From Hours to Minutes

The manual investigation cycle (read advisory, check assets, query scanners, find owners, write summary) takes hours. Mallory compresses this to minutes and delivers a structured exposure report you can hand directly to leadership or your remediation team.

  • Structured exposure reports ready for leadership and remediation teams
  • Automatic YARA and Sigma rule generation for immediate detection
  • Push to Slack, email, ticketing, and SIEM in real time
Before & After

The Same Events. A Completely Different Response.

Scenario: A new critical CVE drops

Without Mallory

Read advisory, check 3 asset inventories, Slack 5 teams, compile findings manually

With Mallory

Mallory correlates against your full inventory and delivers an exposure report in minutes

Scenario: A vendor you use gets breached

Without Mallory

Search contracts and wikis to figure out if you use the affected product

With Mallory

Mallory already tracks your vendor dependencies and alerts you with specific exposure

Scenario: A threat actor campaign targets your industry

Without Mallory

Read the blog, manually extract IOCs, check if your detections cover the TTPs

With Mallory

Mallory maps the campaign to your detection coverage and generates missing rules

Scenario: Leadership asks for a board-ready summary

Without Mallory

Spend an afternoon writing a report from scattered notes and screenshots

With Mallory

Mallory generates a structured summary with affected assets, risk level, and actions taken

Built for Teams Responding to Breaking Events

CTI Analysts

Stop the morning scramble. Mallory reads the advisory, checks your exposure, and has a triage report ready before you open your laptop.

Vulnerability Management

Know which assets are affected and who owns them within minutes. Skip the manual asset inventory hunt and start remediating.

CISOs & Security Leadership

Answer the board's 'are we affected?' question with confidence. Structured exposure reports, not guesswork and caveats.

The Next Critical CVE Is Coming. Be Ready.

You'll never stop breaking cyber events from happening. But you can stop the fire drill. Mallory gives your team instant exposure investigation so you respond in minutes, not hours.
