    Version 30.2.2 introduces the Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM) architecture, a major upgrade from the traditional Vulnerability Response applications. This upgrade centralizes configuration and administration in an Admin Console and provides flexible prioritization and dashboard capabilities. Customers upgrading from Vulnerability Response should use the Migration Assistant to ensure a smooth transition.

    Key Features

    • Overview Tab: Added in version 30.5.1 for Solutions, Configuration Items, and Remediation Effort records to provide quick insights.
    • Color Coding: Risk rating and remediation status are now color-coded for faster prioritization at a glance.
    • Context-Based Filtering: Automatically hides irrelevant list records and filters based on the current view to reduce noise.
    • Remediation Task Creation: IT Remediation Owners can manually create remediation tasks directly from list views and the Remediation Overview page without leaving the SEM Workspace.
    • Improved Dashboard and Widget Functionality: Enhanced dashboard performance, stable widget sizing, correct updating of cloud security counts, and improved navigation with scroll bars in drill-down lists.
    • Accessibility Enhancements: Added missing accessibility labels on buttons and dropdowns to support inclusive use.
    • Localization Fixes: Resolved display and color-coding issues in the Japanese locale.
    • Custom Configuration Support: Findings and remediation owner views support custom findings configurations, improving flexibility.
    • Performance Improvements: Reduced redundant data queries and ingestion processing to boost workspace responsiveness.

    Key Outcomes

    • Faster and easier risk prioritization through color-coded status indicators and streamlined filtering.
    • Increased productivity for remediation owners by enabling task creation directly within context, without workflow interruptions.
    • More reliable and user-friendly dashboards and widgets that correctly display data and maintain layout stability.
    • Improved accessibility and internationalization support, ensuring usability for a broader range of users.
    • Unified administration through the Admin Console simplifies management and ensures consistent application settings across the environment.
    • Smoother upgrades to the new USEM architecture with migration tools to protect existing data and configurations.

    • Fixed:
      • Vulnerability managers and analysts can once again add and remove widgets on out-of-the-box dashboards in the SEM workspace.
      • Finding counts in charts and widgets now display as whole numbers, without unnecessary decimal values.
      • Widget sizes no longer expand uncontrollably when filters are changed, preventing counts and labels from overflowing.
      • Cloud security widget counts now update correctly when a filter is applied and then cleared.
      • A scroll bar is now properly visible in the findings drill-down list, making it easier to navigate large result sets.
      • The "Findings by Source" widget on the All Active Findings page now displays data correctly.
      • Findings and remediation owner views now support custom findings configurations, removing a dependency on hardcoded references.
      • Display and data rendering issues across multiple views in the Cloud Security workspace have been resolved.
      • Chart and color-coding display issues in the SEM workspace under the Japanese locale have been resolved.
    • Changed: Ingestion performance in the Security Exposure workspace has been improved by reducing redundant processing during data loads.
    Version 30.2.2 - January 2026
    • Note:
      This app version is intended for Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM), a significant architectural upgrade to the Vulnerability Response applications. If you are currently using Vulnerability Response and upgrading to USEM for the first time, you must use the Migration assistant for Unified Security Exposure Management to ensure a safe and successful upgrade.

    • The Security Exposure Management Workspace application delivers a single, comprehensive Security Exposure Management (SEM) Workspace tailored to each security role—Vulnerability Admins, Vulnerability Analysts, Remediation Owners, and Approvers.
    • Vulnerability Analysts benefit from the Findings View, which provides comprehensive visibility across all exposure types, along with powerful dashboard creation and configuration capabilities. Remediation Owners can work flexibly byRemediation Tasks, Findings, or Assets, with prioritisation tools to focus on the most critical issues.
    • The Admin Console centralises configuration and administration for all USEM applications, eliminating the need to navigate multiple modules and ensuring consistent settings across the environment.
