Vulnerability Compensated

Virsec provides focus on Critical and High vulnerabilities and a high percent of them can be compensated by using our unique protection features. This helps mitigating the need to patch these vulnerabilities immediately and gives the customer a reasonable amount of time to analyse and incorporate changes.

  1. The Vulnerability Compensated widget provides the statistics of the detected Critical and High vulnerabilities related to Host protection against those that can be compensated by Virsec's TrustGuardian (VSP). Utilizing VSP, these vulnerabilities can be compensated without making any other changes to the workload

  2. The statistics of low and medium severity Vulnerabilities can be obtained using Explore and Filter option

  3. Standard actions for each widget are available

Vulnerability Compensation Trend

Vulnerability Compensation trend provides a visibility to the customer on how the Vulnerability is continuously compensated by using Virsec protection over a period of time.

  1. The Vulnerability Compensation Trend widget provides the detected vulnerability trend of Critical and High severity vulnerabilities related to Host protection for a specific interval of time

  2. The statistics of low and medium severity Vulnerabilities can be obtained using Explore and Filter option

  3. Standard actions for each widget are available
