Microsoft Power BI

Microsoft Power BI can leverage VulnCheck KEV API as an intelligence source for Known Exploited Vulnerabilities. Include timely evidence of CVE exploitation such as software vendor, products, reference articles and VulnCheck XDB links in your PowerBI applications.

Setup Instructions

  1. Log into VulnCheck Dashboard and click on Settings > New Token
  2. Give the token a Label so that you can later identify what it is being used for.
    Note: Make sure to copy your token now as you will not be able to see this again.
