Operational Technology Vulnerability Response (PA) dashboard
Track the volume, performance, and progress of the Operational Technology (OT) vulnerable items (VIs) from the initial analysis and detection to the containment, or remediation. You can filter the reports by the assignment group, exploits, risk rating, or state to get insight into your vulnerability exposure and the services that are affected.
Required Operational Technology and Operational Technology Vulnerability Response roles
To access the OTVR (PA) dashboard, you must have the sn_otvr.remediation_owner role.
To view the Operational Technology Vulnerability Response (PA) dashboard, navigate to and select the Dashboard Library (
) icon in the navigation panel. Then select Operational Technology Vulnerability Response.
Use cases
| User | Dashboard use |
|---|---|
| OT site managers, OT analysts, vulnerability remediation owners | Help your organization deal with increasing security incidents due to exploited vulnerabilities by determining which OT vulnerable items present the most risk. This dashboard provides a graphical view into the OT vulnerable item activity and can help you to design the remediation plans and status progress. You can focus on the key performance indicators (KPIs) that are associated with the critical affected devices and high-visibility vulnerabilities. |
Dashboard tabs
You can see the reports that show the trending data over time and the reports with real-time data. You can also view the trends of the important metrics on a regular schedule so that you can analyze your overall business processes and identify the areas that need to be improved.
Learn what's in the Vulnerable Items tab, Remediation tab, and Exceptions tab.Vulnerable Items tab
The Vulnerable Items tab communicates the KPIs for the vulnerability risk and prevalence, affected devices, remediation target adherence, and remediation progress.
- Total OT Vulnerable Items
- New OT Vulnerable Items
- OT Unassigned Vulnerable Items
- OT Vulnerable Items by State
- OT Vulnerable Items by Risk Rating
- OT VIs Met Remediation TargetRemarque :You can view the data by the last month, 3 months, 6 months, year, or all time.
- OT VI Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR)Remarque :You can view the data by the last month, 3 months, 6 months, year, or all time.
- OT VI by age
- OT Closed Vulnerable Items by Remediation Target Status
- OT Critical Vulnerable Items by Assignment Group
- OT Overdue Critical Vulnerable Items by Assignment Group
Remediation tab
The Remediation tab helps you to understand the progress of your remediation actions and to see which support teams need the most assistance with their completion.
On the Remediation tab, you can view the following reports in real time:
- OT Remediation Tasks
- OT Critical Remediation Tasks Near Due
- OT Remediation Task by Risk Rating
- OT Remediation by Target Status
- OT Remediation Task by State
- OT Unassigned Remediation Tasks
- OT Critical Remediation Task by Assignment Group
- OT Overdue Critical Remediation Task by Assignment Group
Exception tab
The Exception tab helps you to understand where your organization is taking a risk due to potentially excessive deferrals of remediation.
- OT Deferred Vulnerable Items by Reason
- OT Exceptions for Critical Vulnerable Items by Assignment Group.
Site filter
You can use the Site filter to search for and select the site that you want to view on the dashboard. To access and use the site filter, you must have the cmdb_ot_isa_viewer role with access to the site you want to view.
For more information, see Use the site filter.
Indicator sources
- OTVI.Active
- OTVI.Closed
- OTRT.Active
If you expect more than 1 million records to be collected from the indicator sources, you must override the expected count in the Records collection section of the indicator source. For more information, see Review the indicator sources for a larger number of records.
Indicators
Several indicators are used to measure and track the progress of your vulnerability remediation in the Operational Technology Vulnerability Response application. For more information about the indicators used for the dashboard, see Indicator sources and indicators for the Operational Technology Vulnerability Response (PA) dashboard.
The collect records option for the indicators is inactive by default for the Operational Technology Vulnerability Response application. This option is turned off to avoid the performance issues that may occur when you collect a large amount of data for each indicator.

Data visualizations
The Operational Technology Vulnerability Response (PA) dashboard uses data visualizations to display your OT vulnerability data. For example, the total number of OT vulnerable items in your system is displayed in the Total OT Vulnerable Items bar chart and is grouped by OT device type.
For more information about the data visualizations that are used in the dashboard, see Data visualizations used in the Operational Technology Vulnerability Response (PA) dashboard.
