- The Application Vulnerability Management Dashboard
The Performance Analytics Content Pack for Vulnerability Response includes the following capabilities:
- Executive personas, such as Chief Information Security Officers, can view Key Performance Metrics (KPIs) for vulnerability remediation, areas in the business that have the highest risk, and recommended actions to lower risk on the CISO dashboard.
- Visually display all of your vulnerable item activity with reports organized by tabs on the dashboard.
- View data trends for your most important reports daily or in real time.
- Report on the total number of vulnerabilities by Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) discovered in the environment.
- Visualize exploit complexity (low, high or medium) versus attack vector (local, adjacent, network).
- Report on vulnerabilities counts and states versus business service criticality.
- Filter reports by vulnerability business impact (critical, high, non-critical).
- Preconfigured, second level breakdowns exclusions applied to vulnerable configuration items (CIs), retired CIs, and deferred vulnerable items (VIs).
- Application Vulnerability Response provides reports on security posture, remediation trends and scoreboard for most critical application vulnerable items.
- Changed
- Updated table references for the dashboards as per the standardized data model and modularized feature sets of Unified Security Exposure Management.
The Vulnerability Response application and its dependency plugins must be installed and activated.
