Vulnerability Management


  • Click 'Applications' > 'Vulnerability Management' to open this interface
    • This area lets you view known weaknesses found on your devices, along with their CVE (common vulnerabilities and exposures) rating.
      • You can view which devices are affected and install patches as required.

      Open the vulnerability management interface

      • Click 'Applications' > 'Vulnerability Management'



      There are two tabs, each of which offers a different view of the vulnerabilities:

      • Vulnerability List - A list of discovered vulnerabilities and the number of devices affected by each.
      Apply corrective patches:
      • Click the number in the ‘Target Device Count’ column
      • Select the devices you want to patch
      • Click the ‘Install Patch’ button above the table
      • Vulnerable Devices - A list of devices affected by listed vulnerabilities. Allows you patch affected device with a single click.

      Vulnerability List

      • Click 'Applications' > 'Vulnerability Management'
      • Click the 'Vulnerability List' tab



      Vulnerability List - Column Descriptions

      Column Heading

      Description

      Vulnerability Name

      The vulnerability identifier. This is same as the CVE code.

      Vendor

      Developer of the affected software and the corresponding patch.

      CVE Addressed

      Identification code of the security threat. Click this to view vulnerability details, vendor and affected devices.

      Severity

      Criticality of the vulnerability. The possible levels are:

      • Critical - Vulnerabilities that can be exploited without warnings or prompts. 
      Examples include remote elevation of privileges exploits that allow attackers to write to the file system, or execute arbitrary code without user interaction. You should patch critical vulnerabilities as soon as possible. 
      • Important - A vulnerability which could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of user data if exploited. The distinguishing factor between critical and important is that important vulnerabilities show some warning or prompt to the user. For example, local escalation of privilege exploits, or the execution of arbitrary code which requires extensive user action. Again, you should patch important vulnerabilities as soon as possible.
      • Moderate - The likelihood of exploit is largely mitigated by factors such as default configuration, auditing, or difficulty of exploitation. Moderate vulnerabilities usually require specific scenarios, locations or other prerequisites. We recommend you consider patching moderate vulnerabilities.
      • Low - A vulnerability whose exploitation is extremely difficult, or whose impact is minimal. We recommend applying low severity updates at your discretion.
      • Unspecified – The patch was issued without a severity rating.

      Target Device Count

      Number of devices affected by the vulnerability. Click this to view device details and implement patches.


      • Click the funnel icon to filter vulnerabilities by various criteria
      • Click a column header to sort in ascending / descending / alphabetical order

      From this interface you can:
