    • Severity mapping is a critical feature that enables organizations to standardize and normalize the severity levels of findings detected across different sources. This process involves mapping the severity levels from various scanners and sources to a common severity scale used within Unified Security Exposure Management.

    Severity Mapping

    Remarque :
    Business rules run in the background to evaluate the priority for Qualys data and perform the corresponding mapping to the Priority field. Therefore, the business rule is responsible for handling the mapping of Qualys data.
