The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has introduced a new equation called 'LEV' to determine the probability that a bug will be exploited. This equation aims to provide a mathematical probability index that could be a valuable tool for SecOps teams and the prioritization of vulnerability patches. The LEV equation offers a quantitative method for assessing the risk of vulnerability exploitation, thereby helping security professionals better manage and prioritize their remediation efforts.
