Claim 17:
18. A method of prioritizing vulnerabilities using cyber threat intelligence, comprising:
utilizing a processor in operable communication with at least one memory for storing instructions that are executed by the processor to perform operations including:
accessing a plurality of datasets associated with a predetermined set of data sources, at least a portion of the plurality of datasets defining training data including hacker communications;
applying learning algorithms to the training data to generate a predictive model configured to predict a likelihood of exploitation of respective software vulnerabilities;
accessing one or more features associated with a software vulnerability; and
computing, by applying the one or more features to the predictive model, one or more values defining a likelihood of exploitation associated with the software vulnerability, wherein the likelihood of exploitation predicts an actual exploitation of the respective software vulnerabilities before disclosure based on the hacker communications from the training data.
