If you do not want to modify the cycle duration for your background scans, you can run an ad hoc scan to verify and close tickets that are pending system verification.

Task 3: Create and assign tickets

After you determine that a vulnerability is a risk to your enterprise, you should start an investigation and track the threat using tickets. You can create tickets for single assets and events, or for groups. You can create separate tickets, however, if the ticket properties are different. For example, if different SiteProtector users are responsible for different assets, you should create a separate ticket for each user. If the ticket due dates are different, you should create separate tickets for each due date. You can create tickets using right-click menus from the Asset, Agent, and Analysis views.

Task 4: Track tickets and edit status

Use the ticketing view in SiteProtector to view or edit tickets. You can click any column header to sort tickets by that column, and double-click any ticket to open the item.

Task 5: Report on tickets

SiteProtector offers the following ticketing reports from the Reports tab:

vTicket Activity Summary

vTicket Time Tracking

vTicket Trend

The following table describes the options for the Ticketing reports and the tabs that they are displayed on:
