    Summary of Security Exposure Management Workspace release notes

    The Security Exposure Management (SEM) Workspace application on the ServiceNow Store offers a unified platform for managing security exposures tailored to specific security roles such as Vulnerability Admins, Analysts, Remediation Owners, and Approvers. It consolidates visibility and management of vulnerabilities, compliance, cloud, and application findings into a comprehensive workspace with role-specific views and tools for prioritization and remediation.

    Key Features

    • Role-tailored Views: Vulnerability Analysts receive a Findings View with extensive visibility and dashboard customization options. Remediation Owners can manage remediation tasks, findings, or assets with prioritization tools to address critical issues efficiently.
    • Overview Tabs and Color Coding (Version 30.5.1): New Overview tabs for Solutions, Configuration Items, and Remediation Effort records improve context. Color coding for risk ratings and remediation status helps accelerate risk prioritization at a glance.
    • Context-Based Filtering: Automatically hides irrelevant list records and filters to streamline user experience based on the current view.
    • Task Creation Enhancements: IT Remediation Owners can manually create Remediation Tasks directly from the list view or the Remediation Overview page for all finding types without leaving the SEM workspace.
    • Performance and Accessibility Improvements: Enhanced dashboard performance by eliminating redundant queries, added accessibility labels for buttons and dropdowns, and fixed UI issues to ensure a seamless user experience.
    • Admin Console: Centralizes configuration and administration for all Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM) applications, simplifying management by removing the need to navigate multiple modules.

    Fixes and Improvements

    • Resolved loading issues on the Cloud Exposure View page.
    • Corrected display and data rendering problems across Cloud and SEM workspaces, including support for custom findings configurations.
    • Fixed widget behavior on dashboards, including proper update of counts and scroll bar visibility for large result sets.
    • Improved ingestion performance by reducing redundant data processing.
    • Addressed locale-specific display issues, including color coding and chart rendering for Japanese users.

    Upgrade Considerations

    Version 30.2.2 introduces the Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM) architecture, a major upgrade from Vulnerability Response applications. Customers upgrading to USEM must use the provided Migration Assistant to ensure a smooth transition. Those not upgrading should install versions below 30.x.

    What Customers Can Expect

    ServiceNow customers implementing or upgrading the SEM Workspace can expect a unified, role-specific, and highly configurable environment to manage security exposures effectively. Enhanced prioritization, task creation, and dashboard features streamline remediation workflows, while performance and accessibility improvements enhance usability. The centralized Admin Console simplifies ongoing administration for USEM applications.
