Vulnerability Management¶
AccuKnox SaaS provides a centralized platform for managing findings across various stages, from code development to runtime operations. By navigating to Issues → Findings, users can efficiently leverage advanced threat management features such as grouping, sorting, and filtering findings based on multiple criteria, ensuring streamlined analysis and prioritization.
Use Case: Prioritizing Critical Findings Observed Today¶
To demonstrate the functionality, let's consider a scenario where a user wants to work on the most critical findings detected today.
Step 1: Filter Findings by Date¶
-
Navigate to the Issues → Findings page and select the type of findings you want to see..
-
Use the Advanced Filter option to set the Last Seen filter to today's date:
-
Click on the Fields to filter add Last Seen filter.
-
Click on Last Seen Filter, Select today's date twice to narrow the results to the most recent findings.
The displayed list now contains vulnerabilities and misconfigurations identified today and still active.
Step 2: Focus on Critical Findings¶
-
Set the Risk Factor filter to Medium, High, Critical:
-
This will show only the findings that require immediate attention.
Step 3: Group Findings by Asset¶
-
Select Asset or Findings from the Group By dropdown menu:
-
Grouping by Asset maps critical findings to specific assets, enabling targeted remediation.
-
Grouping by Findings highlights similar findings affecting different assets, helping identify patterns and common issues.
Step 4: Sort Findings¶
-
Click the first column header twice to sort by descending order:
-
The asset with the highest number of critical findings will appear at the top of the list.
With this process, you can identify the highest-risk asset with active issues detected today that need immediate action.
Step 5: View Details and Create Tickets¶
-
Click on the any finding to open a detailed view of a finding.
-
From this view, you can:
-
Create a single ticket that includes:
-
Details of the finding.
-
Grouped assets affected.
-
Available solutions.
-
-
Select a Ticket Configuration and click on the Create a Ticket icon.
Rule Engine¶
The Rule Engine enables automation for improved efficiency:
-
Create rules for specific type of finding to:
-
Change the status of findings.
-
Create tickets.
-
Send notifications via email, Slack, or SIEM tools.
-
