# Previdian

> Previdian uses proprietary sensors and private honeypots to observe exploitation attempts, corroborates those signals with vendor advisories and relevant public evidence, and gives security teams the confidence and defensive context needed to act sooner.

Previdian is sensor-led early exploitation intelligence. Out of hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities, only a small fraction are ever exploited in the wild. The product warns security teams when vulnerabilities move into credible real-world exploitation — with first-hand telemetry where available, inspectable evidence, confidence scoring, and practical context for remediation, detection, investigation, and mitigation.

CISA KEV is an essential baseline. Previdian complements the official catalog with proprietary sensor observations, earlier exploitation signals where timestamps support them, confidence, corroborating evidence, and operational delivery through the UI, a free registered RSS feed, and the Pro and Enterprise APIs. Existing Free accounts that already have API access keep the summary catalog. Previdian Watch sends Watch notifications when a followed vendor, product, or vulnerability changes. Available defensive artifacts (including virtual patch guidance) help teams act while permanent remediation is underway.

Previdian was founded by Ryan Dewhurst, a cybersecurity professional focused on real-world exploitation, threat intelligence, and honeypot/deception operations, and the creator of Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA) and WPScan (acquired in 2021).

## Compare and pricing

- [Previdian vs CISA KEV](https://previdian.com/cisa-kev-comparison): How Previdian differs from CISA KEV, with earlier warning, proprietary sensors, confidence, and delivery around the official catalog.
- [CISA KEV RSS feed](https://previdian.com/cisa-kev-rss-feed): Previdian provides RSS delivery for early exploitation warnings, which CISA KEV does not.
- [Pricing](https://previdian.com/pricing): Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers for early exploitation intelligence.
- [API and integrations](https://previdian.com/api-integrations): Delivery channels and how to plug exploitation intelligence into existing workflows. Enterprise includes an MCP connector for ChatGPT, Codex, and Cursor: you allow access first, and the client reads vulnerability records, raw attempts, attacker infrastructure, and virtual-patch rules to answer your question.
- [API documentation](https://previdian.com/api-docs): OpenAPI reference for the v2 KEV, Pro, and Enterprise APIs, including Watch (read) and Priority (queue plus workflow).

## Data and feeds
