Re-evaluate the remediation properties of the records in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace

Evaluate the assignments, remediation target date, remediation tasks, exceptions, and risk score for a set of records (VITs, AVITs, CVITs or TRs) in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace.

Before you begin

Role required:

• sn_vul.vulnerability_analyst, or sn_vul.vulnerability_admin for host vulnerable items (VITs)
• sn_vul.app_sec_manager for application vulnerable items (AVITs)
• sn_vul_container.vulnerability_analyst or sn_vul_container.vulnerability_admin for container vulnerable items (CVITs)
• sn_vulc.admin for configuration test results (TRs)

About this task

Prior to version 23.0 of Vulnerability Response, it was necessary to apply the rules to all records to obtain the latest assignments, remediation target dates, risk scores, and remediation tasks, which was a time-consuming process. Starting with version 23.0, you can selectively evaluate and update these properties for specific records, thereby reducing processing time. Additionally, you can refine the remediation process based on these updated properties. Starting with v24.0.6 of Vulnerability Response, you can evaluate the exception rules for selected records in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace.
