CLARITY, CONFIDENCE, AND ACTION AGAINST NEW RISKS
EMERGING THREATS DON'T WAIT. NEITHER DO WE.
The threat landscape never stands still. Attackers continually develop new exploits, techniques, and zero-day vulnerabilities, often faster than organizations can adapt. Security teams are inundated with threat intelligence and advisories, but only a fraction of newly reported vulnerabilities pose a real risk to your business.
At the same time, expanding attack surfaces, complex hybrid environments, and limited resources make it challenging to validate and act on every new risk. Without the right support, many organizations find themselves reacting to the latest headline instead of proactively staying ahead.
Bishop Fox bridges the gap between awareness and action. Our Threat Enablement & Analysis team combines AI and deep expertise to quickly identify and validate the latest vulnerabilities against your environment, cutting through the noise to pinpoint the threats that truly matter. We don’t just tell you what’s out there—we show you how it applies to your attack surface and provide clear, prioritized remediation guidance.
With the Bishop Fox portal, you get on-demand visibility into the latest threats, investigation status updates, and details on your impacted services so you can update your organization and take action quickly. Importantly, you'll also know when we've determined that your attack surface is not impacted as well, saving you time and resources and giving you peace of mind.

STAY READY FOR WHAT'S NEXT
FROM MONITORING TO RESOLUTION – WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED
AI-enabled, expert-validated emerging vulnerability detection
Our Threat Enablement & Analysis team continuously monitors and collects intelligence from proprietary research, OSINT, industry feeds, and public sources (e.g., CVE databases and government advisories) for new vulnerabilities, exposures, and TTPs.
Our experts use AI-driven tooling to quickly identify potential threats and assess their credibility, severity, likely impact, affected target volume, and PoC availability. When the threat meets our established qualification benchmarks—such as affecting widely used enterprise software, impacting security-critical systems, or being easily exploitable—the Emerging Threat Process activates.
Immediate threat alerts with real-time updates
For qualifying events, we send an initial notice as soon as we begin investigation. Communication is pushed out to the Bishop Fox Portal and encrypted Slack channel, so your team stays informed from the start.
The initial alert includes a brief summary of the threat and target technology, our next steps, and recommended client action. We provide consistent updates throughout the investigation so you're always in the know.
Real-time vulnerability detection with expert validation and controlled exploitation testing
We immediately deploy scanning engines to detect indicators of vulnerability with real-world reach and impact. These analyzer hits produce leads that are manually reviewed to confirm validity, accessibility, and scope. We ensure assets are in-scope and exposed before escalating. Where warranted, Bishop Fox operators execute controlled tests (including PoC-based methods) to confirm risk, measure blast radius, and determine real-world exploitability.
Continuous updates until resolution.
We provide frequent communications until resolution. Once complete, you receive a concise final report with detailed remediation guidance—or an all-clear if you’re not exposed.

Emerging Threat Testing Explained
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Emerging Threat Testing?
Emerging Threat Testing is a fully managed service in which Bishop Fox researchers track newly disclosed threats, check the relevant ones against your environment, and tell you whether you are affected, need a closer look, or are in the clear.
Do you assess every new CVE?
How does reverification work?
When you fix a flagged exposure, an expert reverifies it and confirms it is actually closed, so resolution is confirmed, not assumed.
How do I see and act on my results?
You are notified through the Bishop Fox Portal and an encrypted private Slack channel, with findings flowing into Jira and ServiceNow, a public API, and a read-only AI assistant. The Bishop Fox researchers behind each answer are available for questions.
How is Emerging Threat Testing different from a threat feed?
What happens if I am not affected?
Do I need Attack Surface Discovery first?
No. You can bring your own asset list and we will check new threats against it. Discovery keeps the inventory live and complete, which makes your answers more complete, because we can only flag threats on assets we know about.
