Product Overview
...
The Vulnerability Scanning service provides for continuous vulnerability scanning. For Virtual Machines, the service is facilitated by a vulnerability scanning agent that is deployed with the Armor Agent (the "Scan Agent"). For container images, the service is facilitated by a container sensor deployed to a container host (the "Sensor").
...
Armor's vulnerability scanning service puts our customers in control of their network. Keeping them ahead of the next threat through increased visibility, preparedness, and protection. Armor's service scans internal and external networks for technical vulnerabilities, patching, and compliance issues—providing clients with the ability to mitigate risk and ensure compliance.

...
Users can manually refresh the table data using the refresh data link at the top of the table, but the data displayed will only reflect the state of the environment at the time of the last interval scan. For example, if your next scheduled scan occurs at 4pm, refreshing the data will show the state of your environment at noon and not reflect any patching you did at 3:30pm.
This screen also displays severity levels for each detected vulnerability, along with the quantity of vulnerabilities detected for each severity level. A severity is assigned to a vulnerability based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). CVSS is the accepted system to rate the severity status of a vulnerability. Armor uses NVD CVSS v3.0 to score vulnerabilities. To learn more, please see the National Vulnerability Database website.
You can use this information to prioritize how to troubleshoot these vulnerabilities, as well as understand how these vulnerabilities can affect your environment.

Column | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Vulnerability Name | This column displays the name of the vulnerability scan report. | ||
Affected Assets | This column displays the number of assets affected by the vulnerability, regardless of asset type (virtual machines and/or container images). | ||
Excluded Assets | This column displays the number of assets excluded from the scan for the vulnerability. | ||
CVSS Score | This columns displays the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score assigned to the vulnerability. The breakdown of CVSS Scores aligns with the Severity types. | ||
Severity | This column displays the severity level of the vulnerability. There are four severity types, based on the vulnerability's CVSS:
| ||
Known Exploits | This column indicates if there are any known exploits for the vulnerability.
|
Clicking a Vulnerability Name will take the user to the detail screen for that vulnerability. The vulnerability detail screen includes a synopsis of the vulnerability, a table of affected assets, and the remediation guidance for the vulnerability.

COLUMN NAME | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Vulnerability Name | This column displays the name of the vulnerability. |
Affected Assests | This column displays the virtual machines (host) affected by the vulnerability. If you are unfamiliar with the name of a virtual machine, you can use the Virtual Machines screen to search.
|
Category | This column displays the category(s) associated with the vulnerability. For a complete list of vulnerability categories and QIDs, please see this documentation. |
Known Exploits | This column indicates if there are any known exploits for the vulnerability.
|
Severity | This column displays the severity of the vulnerability. There are four severity types, based on the vulnerability's CVSS:
There is an additional severity type called Info. Although Info is listed as a severity type, in reality, Info simply displays activity information for corresponding plugins from third-party vendors. |
