Session
In a world where proprietary pipelines and opaque risk scores drive threat feeds and dashboards, what does it mean to see the vulnerabilities for yourself?
This talk exposes how vulnerability data, while open in theory, is often filtered through black-box interfaces. In Duck Safari, we flip the script: using browser-native tools like ShinyLive, DuckDB-WASM, and duckplyr, we create a transparent, interactive CVE explorer that puts raw data and clear logic back in the hands of cybersecurity teams.
You'll walk away with a no-installation tool to explore vulnerabilities by vendor, severity, or time - rewriting your team's relationship with the shadowy systems that mediate risk and visibility.
