RV10
The Real Time Top 10 (RV10) is a predictive index of vulnerabilities that are at the greatest risk for compromise by an exploit or worm. It is a dynamic list updated automatically and continuously from a statistically representative sample of thousands of networks. The RV10 helps security administrators prioritize their remediation efforts by focusing first on the most dangerous threats.

The Laws of Vulnerabilities
Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, has defined the Laws of Vulnerabilities derived from the industry's largest real-world vulnerability dataset. These laws were drawn from a statistical analysis of more than 680 million vulnerabilities out of which 72 million vulnerabilities are critical, generated by 80 million scans during 2008.
