Exclusions are not available on past scan reports and are only possible for future Vulnerability Scan reports. |
With Vulnerability Exclusions, Armor is taking Vulnerability Scanning beyond reporting and giving users the ability to manage their vulnerability programs. Users can now exclude vulnerabilities on particular reports or silence them to be addressed later.
This can be a helpful tool in instances where:
Users are willing to accept the risk, such as machines that do not store critical data or when time and resources are a concern
Users cannot patch machines, such as when doing so might break an application or architecture
Users have specific Vendor needs that would require excluding assets from a Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Exclusions will also give users the ability to flag machines from the Vulnerability Report, allowing customers to build out an excluded assets workflow within their Vulnerability Management System.
