Viewing Vulnerable Network Devices in the Vulnerability Management Tool

Modified on Fri, 1 Aug at 12:53 AM

Summary

This article provides instructions on how to view vulnerable network devices in the Saner Vulnerability Management (VM) tool. The tool presents this data in two primary sections:

Vulnerable Devices section
Vulnerabilities section

Each section provides detailed insights into device-level and vulnerability-level data across your network.

1. Vulnerable Devices Section

To view vulnerable network devices:

Log in to the Saner VM tool dashboard.
Navigate to the Vulnerable Devices section.
Use the Family filter and select "Others" to list all vulnerable network devices in your account.

Once applied, the filter will update the table to display only relevant devices. The table presents the following columns:

Column	Description
Host Name	Displays the hostname of the device. Clicking the hostname redirects to the Device Details page with comprehensive vulnerability information.
Operating System	Shows the OS installed on the device.
Group	Indicates the group or classification the device belongs to.
Risks Count	Shows the total number of vulnerabilities detected on the device.
Severity Distribution	Breaks down the vulnerabilities by severity: - Critical: Red - High: Orange - Medium: Yellow - Low: Blue
Assets	Lists vulnerable software running on the device. Clicking the number reveals a detailed list of affected applications.
Last Scanned	Displays the date and time of the last scan performed on the device.
Status	Indicates whether the device is currently Active or Inactive.

Note:

Devices with no vulnerabilities will show a thumbs-up icon under Risks Count and display "No Vulnerabilities" in the Severity Distribution column.

2. Vulnerabilities Section

The Vulnerabilities section provides a CVE-centric view of vulnerabilities discovered in your network.

How to access:

Navigate to the Vulnerabilities tab in the Saner VM tool.
View vulnerabilities listed by their CVE ID.

Column	Description
ID	Displays the unique CVE ID of each detected vulnerability.
Title	Provides a brief description of the vulnerability.
Severity	Indicates the assigned severity level of the CVE.
Assets	Shows the number of affected applications in your account.
Hosts	Indicates the number of devices impacted by the CVE.
Detection Date	The date the vulnerability was detected by Saner VM.
Release Date	The date the vulnerability was publicly disclosed by the vendor.
Fix	Specifies the recommended remediation or patch to resolve the vulnerability.

Conclusion

Using the Vulnerable Devices and Vulnerabilities sections within the Saner VM tool enables administrators to efficiently identify, assess, and remediate security risks across network-connected devices.
