About this task

Use the assignment_recommendation_batchsize system property to set the batch size when you request Vulnerability Assignment Recommendations for VULs and vulnerable items (VIs) using the bulk edit option. The default value of this system property is set for optimum prediction performance.

Note:

If you increase the default value, the response time for Vulnerability Assignment Recommendations for these cases might change.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Vulnerability Response > Remediation Tasks and select a VUL.
   The group must be in the Open, Under investigation, or Awaiting implementation state.
2. Click the recommend icon () next to the Assignment group field for the assignment group recommendations for the selected VUL.
   The Assignment Group Recommendations dialog box displays the recommended assignment groups with the average confidence score for all the VIs in that group.
3. Select a recommendation from the Assignment group list based on the confidence score.
   The confidence score predicts how relevant the match is for the selected VUL.
4. Click Assign.
   The selected group appears in the Assignment group field.
5. Save the remediation task with the updated information.

Result

All the VIs with the same assignment group as the VUL are assigned to the selected assignment group. The Assignment type changes to Recommendation for the VUL, as well as all the modified VIs.
