    Important

    All tabs and classifications are linked to the time selected in the Time Interval filter, and not the current day. For example, New Findings display findings that were considered new for the reporting period selected in the filter, but for the current date might be considered Resolved or Modified.

    • New Findings - Displays all recently created open findings.

      This category includes:

      • Scans that ran for the first time and failed.

      • Scans that have previously passed but have now failed.

    • Resolved Findings - Displays rule checks that have previously failed but no longer do so.

      These include:

      • Checks that were previously failing but are now passing.

      • Rule checks whose resource context it was referencing is missing or deleted.

      • Failing rule checks that are no longer being suppressed.

    • Modified Findings - Open findings whose severity level got changed, or whose status got suppressed through Vulnerability Management. This tab allows you to:

      • Understand what the changes are so further investigation can happen if needed.

      • Know which issues to prioritize by looking at severity and status.

      • Confirm that issues have been resolved.

      • Review changes to a check’s severity or status.

      It also gives you metrics you can present to your organization’s leadership team related to your security posture, such as:

      • How many new issues were introduced over a period of time.

      • How many issues were addressed over a period of time.

  3. Resources & Regions

    This section displays several groups of findings, split into groups, based on the following criteria:

    • Resources - displays a list of existing resource types, based on the number of open findings originating form each one.

    • Regions - displays a list of existing regions, based on the number of open findings originating form each one.
