# What is the Vulnerability API For?

If you’re looking to dig deeper into CVEs and really understand the risks your company is facing, the **Defenda Vulnerability API** has your back. It’s all about giving you the extra context you need to make smarter decisions about which vulnerabilities to tackle first.

Instead of just throwing CVSS scores at you, the API pulls in stuff like exploit details, whether a vulnerability is being actively targeted, and even patch info—all in one place. It helps your security team and engineers cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters, so you can fix the real problems faster.

Think of it as a way to supercharge your existing tools and workflows, giving you the insights you need to stay a step ahead of the bad guys.
