Viewing vulnerabilities in the SiteProtector Console using Enterprise Scanner

Use the Analysis view in the SiteProtector Console to view event data collected by the Enterprise Scanner agent.

About vulnerability assessment

Vulnerability assessment data identifies weaknesses in your network and hosts. Intruders or employees can exploit these weaknesses and attack or compromise your network and hosts. This type of data is collected by the Enterprise Scanner.

Creating custom views

If the default views do not suit your needs, you can create custom analysis views. When you customize a view, you can add or remove columns or filters, change the values of filters, or rearrange the columns.

Exceptions are automatically cleared from the Console, but they remain in the Site database.

Viewing vulnerabilities by asset in Enterprise Scanner

Use this view to identify weaknesses in your network and hosts. Intruders or employees can exploit these weaknesses and attack or compromise your network and hosts.

Benefits

You can sort your view to identify your most important to least important assets and develop a risk profile to protect your assets. You can view vulnerabilities by asset to display for the time period you specify:

vIP address of the affected hosts

vPriority level of the vulnerabilities

vObjects affected

vMost recent event

Important: You should set the time period of this view to the time of your most recent scan. Otherwise, the view displays vulnerability events for previous scans.
