Current Vulnerabilities Breakdown
Current Vulnerabilities Breakdown report provides a breakdown of current vulnerable hosts and vulnerability instances ranked by count severity with vulnerability detail. Use this report to gain insights into the effectiveness of your vulnerability management, help prioritize your efforts, and focus on specific areas in your environment.
To access the Current Vulnerabilities Breakdown report:
- In the Alert Logic console, click the menu icon (
), and then click 
Validate. - Click Reports, and then click Vulnerabilities.
- Under Current Vulnerability Breakdown, click VIEW.
- Click Current Vulnerabilities Breakdown.
Filter the report
To refine your findings, filter your report by Customer Account, Deployment Name, VPC/Network, Asset Type, Category, Severity, and CVSS Score.
Filter the report using drop-down menus
By default, Alert Logic includes (All) filter values in the report. You must select a single value in each filter to see the report.
Vulnerability categories
Alert Logic discovers several types of vulnerabilities, which are divided into categories, and referred to in sections of the report:
- Configuration: Exposures related to your deployment that can hinder Alert Logic from delivering service properly, such as no agents or appliance installations, or a misconfiguration where an appliance cannot connect to the server.
- Security: Exposures related to vulnerabilities found during internal and external scans, such as a vulnerability that can lead to a breach if not addressed.
- External: Exposures related to vulnerabilities found during an external scan, such as a vulnerability that can lead to a breach if not addressed.
CVSS severity categories
Alert Logic uses CVSS v2 scores to measure the severity of vulnerabilities, which are divided into levels, and referenced to in some sections of this report.
Alert Logic assigns each vulnerability one of the following severities with corresponding icon based on the CVSS v2 score set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and reported to the National Vulnerability Database:
| Severity | CVSS base score |
|---|---|
 High |
7.0 - 10.0 |
 Medium |
4.0 - 6.9 |
 Low |
0.1 - 3.9 |
 Informational |
0.0 |
