Get a comprehensive view of your organization's vulnerability posture and quickly understand the status of vulnerability-related risks in your environment.
The Vulnerability Overview tab in Vulnerability Management provides information that allows you to assess the number, distribution, and severity
of vulnerabilities in your environment at a glance. Get detailed information on time-critical
vulnerabilities, view key vulnerability metrics organized by impact score, asset type,
and asset group, and monitor exposure over time to help prioritize mitigation efforts.
ImportantTo view information in Vulnerability Overview, your user account must have View permissions for Vulnerability Management and Threat and Exposure Management.
Data for network devices discovered by Network Vulnerability Scanner is only available
for users with the Unmanaged devices asset visibility scope. Data for internet-facing assets is only available for users
with the Internet-facing assets asset visibility scope. For more information, see Asset Visibility Management.

Time-critical vulnerabilities
|
Displays information about zero-day and time-critical vulnerabilities that are actively
exploited or have a high risk of exploitation.
|
Use the displayed alerts to understand vulnerabilities that need immediate attention.
Click alerts to view Time-critical Vulnerability profiles, which contain details including
|
||
|
Unique vulnerabilities by impact score
|
Displays the distribution of vulnerabilities in your environment by Vulnerability impact score. Click View vulnerabilities by asset group to view the distribution across your defined asset groups.
|
The chart transitions from total vulnerabilities to unique vulnerability distribution
to help you visualize the overall risk posed by vulnerabilities in your environment.
Viewing by asset group allows you to see where you need to prioritize your remediation
efforts. Click vulnerability counts in each asset group to directly view and manage
individual vulnerabilities in Threat and Exposure Management. Add or remove assets from an asset group in Asset Group Management by clicking Manage asset groups.
|
||
|
High-impact Vulnerability distribution by asset type
|
Displays the distribution and count of high-impact (impact score from 70 to 100) vulnerabilities
across the following asset types:
|
Columns are sorted from highest to lowest vulnerability count to help you quickly
identify the infrastructure layers that need the most attention. Click a vulnerability
count to directly view and manage high-impact vulnerabilities for the specified asset
type in Threat and Exposure Management.
|
||
|
Unpatched vulnerabilities over time
|
Displays the trend of unpatched Vulnerability events (individual Vulnerability events
that have not been system remediated) over the last 12 months. Each data point represents
a snapshot of unpatched Vulnerability events at the end of the specified month plus
the latest real-time snapshot. Select an asset type to view the trend of unpatched
Vulnerability events for that asset type.
|
Use the trending chart to understand your organization's total risk exposure over
time. An overall decreasing trend indicates less exposure and a stronger security
posture.
|
||
|
Most critical Vulnerabilities
|
Displays the top 5 most critical vulnerabilities found in your environment based on
Vulnerability impact score and impact scope. If more than five detected vulnerabilities
have the same Vulnerability impact score and impact scope, the total number of instances
of the vulnerability in your environment is also considered. Click a vulnerability
ID to go to the associated Vulnerability profile. Hover over an impact scope total
to see a breakdown of the assets affected by the vulnerability.
|
Vulnerabilities are sorted by impact score and impact scope to allow you to quickly
see which vulnerabilities should be mitigated first. Click a vulnerability ID to go
to the corresponding Vulnerability profile.
|
||
|
Most vulnerable assets
|
Displays the top five assets in your organization based on the number of vulnerabilities
and the Vulnerability risk score. Vulnerability risk scores are calculated using the
vulnerabilities detected on the asset and risk events that may be related to the vulnerabilities.
|
Assets are sorted by Vulnerability risk score and total vulnerabilities detected on
the asset to allow you to quickly see which assets to prioritize in mitigtion. Click
an asset name to go to the profile page for the asset. Click the vulnerability total
to see a list of all vulnerabilities detected on the asset.
|
||
|
High-impact vulnerabilities by days unpatched
|
Displays vulnerabilities with impact scores higher than 70 that have been in your
environment the longest
|
Use the first seen time together with the impact scope to understand the overall risk
posed by the vulnerability in your environment and understand which assets need urgent
attention. Click a vulnerability ID to go to the corresponding Vulnerability profile.
