In connected device security, the hardest part isn’t finding vulnerabilities; it’s figuring out which ones actually matter. Teams are overwhelmed with alerts, timelines are tight, and development never stops. Every extra minute spent on triaging false positives or chasing non-issues is time taken away from fixing the vulnerabilities that pose real risk.
That’s why Reachability has become one of the most impactful capabilities in the Finite State platform and why expanding its precision, breadth, and speed unlocks a fundamentally better way to manage risk at scale.
Across IoT, embedded systems, industrial devices, and automotive, security teams face the same dilemma:
And yet, most tools still treat every vulnerability as equal.
This leads to:
Teams don’t need more vulnerability data — they need data that tells them what matters.
With coverage expanded to more than 90% of detected CVEs, Reachability gives teams visibility into almost every vulnerability discovered in their firmware, SBOMs, or source code. But the breadth is only part of the story.
The real value is in what Reachability enables:
When most CVEs aren’t exploitable in a real-world context, expanding reachability means teams can automatically eliminate the majority of non-issues from their backlog.
Less noise.
Less triage.
More clarity.
Through new input vector analysis, Reachability identifies the data paths that actually lead to vulnerable functions. This is a shift from theoretical risk assessment to evidence-based exploitability.
Teams gain:
This isn’t just better vulnerability analysis, it’s better judgment.
With sub-hour analysis times and default enablement, Reachability now fits naturally into product security workflows without slowing them down. Teams can run more scans, validate more changes, and reduce the time spent waiting for results.
It becomes a continuous signal, not an occasional check.
Across our customers, the expanded Reachability capabilities translate into several tangible improvements.
Teams can deprioritize the vast majority of unreachable findings, shrinking thousands of CVEs down to a manageable set of actionable security issues.
Developers spend less time patching unexploitable vulnerabilities — which means more time building features and shipping updates.
Reachability gives product security, engineering, and leadership a shared understanding of the risks that truly matter.
Decisions are based on evidence, not assumptions. Teams know not just what is vulnerable, but how and whether it can be exploited.
With rising expectations from regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIS2, and PSTI, demonstrating exploitability analysis is a strategic advantage.
Many tools offer reachability, but few (if any) provide high-accuracy, device-focused exploitability intelligence across more than 90% of detected CVEs — in under an hour — enriched with exploit data.
This combination of breadth, depth, and speed puts Finite State in a unique position to help manufacturers secure increasingly complex device ecosystems.
It’s not just an enhancement.
It’s the foundation for a more efficient, more precise, and more scalable security program.
Reachability will continue to evolve as new CVEs are discovered, new exploit techniques emerge, and device architectures grow more complex. This expansion is one step in an ongoing effort to give teams the clarity they need to operate confidently in a rapidly shifting threat landscape.
For now, the impact is clear:
Security and development teams can prioritize smarter, move faster, and build more secure devices — without drowning in noise.
