FAQ – Which Shadowserver Reports list CVEs?
Many people frequently ask how Shadowserver includes CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) in its reports. Currently, there are over 140 reports published, with more on the way. The Shadowserver Alliance is active, working together to support the Shadowserver initiative and develop new report types. It’s a logical question to ask.
The wonders of today make it soooo easy to find answers. You don’t need to ask gurus to kick-start your journey. Let’s start the journey. I hope this is helpful to you.
Leveraging LLMs to Learn More About Shadowserver’s Benefits
In this case, I used this prompt with Gemini, Claude, and NotebookLM:
“There are over 141 Report Types that Shadowserver Foundation provides to its subscribed constituents. How many of them have the CVEs information in the reporting? What are some of the best practices organizations use to leverage these reports to reduce cybersecurity and digital safety risk to their organization?”
We have the verbose Gemini results:

We have more succinct Claude prose: Strategic Integration of Shadowserver Foundation Telemetry: CVE Tracking and Cyber Civil Defense Best Practices

We then have the “Deep Thinking” from NotebookLM (with the formatting done by Claude): The Shadowserver Foundation Reporting Ecosystem – Quantitative Analysis of CVE Integration and Strategic Frameworks for Cyber Risk Remediation

What is fun is to reach through each. As a Shadowserver veteran (using it for decades to minimize my risk), I enjoy the flavors LLMs use to describe what I know and teach, with a new angle of explanation. I then ask NotebookLM to craft a presentation and a “cinematic” video to help explain:
