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 CVE profiles, which contain details including

|
Unique vulnerabilities by impact score
|
Displays the distribution of vulnerabilities in your environment by CVE 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 CVE distribution by asset type
|
Displays the distribution and count of high-impact (impact score from 70 to 100) CVEs
across the following asset types:
|
Columns are sorted from highest to lowest CVE count to help you quickly identify the
infrastructure layers that need the most attention. Click a CVE count to directly
view and manage high-impact CVEs for the specified asset type in Threat and Exposure Management.
|
||
|
Unpatched vulnerabilities over time
|
Displays the trend of unpatched CVE events (individual CVE events that have not been
system remediated) over the last 12 months. Each data point represents a snapshot
of unpatched CVE events at the end of the specified month plus the latest real-time
snapshot. Select an asset type to view the trend of unpatched CVE 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.
