How does the Detected vs Fixed widget work?

This Dashboard widget counts detected and fixed vulnerabilities over a selected time period.

A vulnerability is counted as detected when it is found for the first time, or when it is reopened. If a scan finds an already existing vulnerability that is still active, it is not counted again. A vulnerability is counted as fixed whenever it is closed.

Example

To better understand this, here is an example. Assume a scan is running daily on a single asset.

  • On Monday, vulnerability X is discovered (status New).
  • On Tuesday, vulnerability X is not discovered, so it is closed (status Fixed).
  • On Wednesday, vulnerability X is discovered again (status Reopened).
  • On Thursday, vulnerability X is still found (status Active).
  • On Friday, vulnerability X is not discovered anymore (status Fixed).

This week, the widget would show 2 detected and 2 fixed, even though there has only ever been one vulnerability on one asset. In an over-time daily display, one would be detected on Monday and Wednesday, and one would be fixed on Tuesday and Friday.

Add the Detected vs. Fixed widget
  1. Log in to Security Center.
  2. On the Dashboard landing page, click Add widget.
  3. Select Detected vs. Fixed from the list.
  4. Select Pie, Column, or Value.
  5. Click Add.

Filter the dashboard by team or tag
It is possible to filter the widget by team or tag. Click Scope, select All assets, and then select the teams or tags you want to include. This makes it easy to share relevant information with the relevant team.
