  • After you complete your initial assessment of remediation task rules using Setup Assistant, you can create rules to automatically group vulnerable items based on filter conditions. These rules automatically group vulnerable items as they are imported or manually created. Use the filter to limit the vulnerable items grouped by this rule, such as selecting all vulnerable items with exploits.

    The base system ships with one remediation task rule, Vulnerability, which groups vulnerable items by vulnerability and assignment group (from Assignment Rules). You can reapply the rules from the form or list view. For some sample entries, Vulnerability Response remediation task rule examples.

    This rule can be modified as follows:

    By using filter conditions and Group by choices.

    By default, remediation tasks use Assignment Rules, when available, as part of their filter criteria.
    주:
    If no assignment rules exist, you can select a group using the User group field.

    Starting with version 18.0 of Vulnerability Response, the Vulnerability remediation task rule is deactivated in Vulnerability Response for new implementations.

      When automatically assigning remediation tasks, the Assignment choice is used in addition to the Group By choices to group the vulnerable items. New tasks are created, as needed, to ensure that each vulnerable item is placed in a task with a matching assignment group set.

      To automate the assignment of tasks created based on this rule, choose one of the options available.
      • Group by field: If you selected any user group field from the Using field values in the Group bysection, they appear in the drop-down menu.
