Field descriptions

The following table describes the fields and descriptions for this vulnerability view:

Table 26. Vulnerability view by asset

Field	Description

Target IP	Use this filter to monitor a specific IP
	address that you suspect is the target of
	attacks. The IP address can be either internal
	or external. This information is typically
	modified for you as you explore event data.
	v If you do not know the exact IP address,
	use the options in the Operation list to
	request IP addresses when you do not the
	exact one to request.
	v If you only know the IP address you do
	not want to see, you can exclude one or
	more IP addresses.

Target DNS Name	Use the filter to display the Domain Name
	Service (DNS) name of a host that you
	suspect is the target of events. You can also
	use this filter to suppress hosts that you do
	not want to monitor.

Status	Use the Status filter differently for events
	and vulnerabilities.
	v Events: The Status column indicates the
	impact of the event.
	v Vulnerabilities: The Status column
	indicates whether the vulnerability was
	found.

# High	Security issues that allow either or both of
	the following situations:
	v Immediate remote or local access
	v Immediate execution of code or
	commands with unauthorized privileges

# Medium	Security issues that have the potential of
	granting access or allowing code execution
	through complex or lengthy exploit
	procedures, or low risk issues applied to
	major Internet components.

# Low	Security issues that deny service or provide
	non-system information that can be used to
	formulate structured attacks on a target, but
	not directly gain unauthorized access.
