Vulnerability view by vulnerability name | IBM Partner Pavilion 2.3

Table 29. Vulnerability view by target operating system (continued)

Field	Description

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.

Event Count	Use this filter to determine which events
	occur most frequently.

Target Count	Use to filter by the count of target hosts.

Latest Event	Use to filter events according to the Latest
	Event column in the analysis views.
	SiteProtector calculates the time and date for
	the latest event on each row of data in an
	analysis view. This filter filters data only in
	views that contain the Latest Event column.
	For example, if you apply this filter to the
	Event Name view, SiteProtector can apply
	the criteria you specified to each Tag name
	(or row) that appears in the view.

Viewing vulnerabilities by vulnerability name in Enterprise Scanner

Use this view to examine high-level information about the types of vulnerabilities detected on your network.

Benefits

You can sort your view by most severe vulnerabilities to identify the most to least important vulnerabilities on your network or by priority of fix.

Field descriptions

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

Table 30. Vulnerability view by vulnerability name

Field	Description

Tag Name	Use this filter to display or suppress events
	that match one or more tag names. You can
	filter on tag names from the Site database or
	on user-defined tag names.

Severity	Use this filter to display events according to
	their level of severity.

CVSS Score	Use this filter to establish a measure of how
	much concern a vulnerability warrants,
	compared to other vulnerabilities, so that
	efforts to remedy the vulnerability can be
	prioritized.
