Note:
This app version is intended for Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM), a significant architectural upgrade to the Vulnerability Response applications.
If you are currently using Vulnerability Response and upgrading to USEM for the first time, you must use the Migration assistant for Unified Security Exposure Management to ensure a safe and successful upgrade. For full details, please refer to the KB2556844 and documentation before proceeding.
If you do not intend to upgrade to USEM, please select a version below 30.x when installing or upgrading.
Vulnerability Response helps organizations respond faster and more efficiently to vulnerabilities, connects security and IT teams, and provides real-time visibility into your security posture. Vulnerability Response connects the workflow and automation capabilities of the Now Platform® with vulnerability scan data from leading vendors to give your teams a single platform for response that can be shared between security and IT.
The Vulnerability Response application includes the following capabilities:
- Automate the process of organizing vulnerabilities into a group and assigning it to the IT operations team.
- Prioritize vulnerabilities based on asset criticality and vulnerability severity.
- Improve the flow of work between Security and IT via a comprehensive remediation workflow.
- Import Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA) vulnerabilities, manual penetration test assessments, and application vulnerable items to help you determine, prioritize, and remediate the impact and priority of flaws in your code using the Application Vulnerability Response (AVR) feature.
- Import information from the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) with the Vulnerability Response Integration with NVD to better understand your vulnerability exposure.
