Executive Summary - This chapter provides executives with high-level understanding of vulnerability history, and which network segments are at the most risk. The first component is a 3-month trend of vulnerabilities followed by two bar charts. The bar charts provide a side-by-side comparison of vulnerability mitigation by subnet. The vulnerabilities that have been mitigated are in the top bar chart and current vulnerabilities are shown in the following chart.

Vulnerability Summaries - This chapter provides a series of matrices showing the relationship between mitigated vulnerabilities and unmitigated. The matrices are created using different criteria. The components provide an analysis using CVSS, CVE, and operating systems.
 

Many data protection regulations, such as PCI DSS and HIPAA, levy heavy fines for data breaches of sensitive information. Effective data protection controls are necessary to avoid breaches of regulatory, statutory, or contractual obligations related to sensitive data.

Organizations that handle sensitive data, such as healthcare and credit card information, are required to audit data protection controls on an annual basis. Leveraging Tenable reports enables organizations to protect data in accordance with business risk posture for Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA).

The National Institute of Standards (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 provides comprehensive guidance for a secure infrastructure, including guidance on data protection and encryption. The information provided in Tenable dashboards and reports enables Risk Managers and Chief Privacy Officers to demonstrate to third parties and regulatory bodies that sensitive data is protected in accordance with Data Loss Prevention requirements.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a control framework, which has high level controls that align with
ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-53, and others. The Cybersecurity Framework’s prioritized, flexible, and cost-effective approach helps to promote the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure and other sectors important to the economy and national security. Many regulating bodies accept evidence documentation of compliance with the NIST CSF as assurance that the organization has effective controls in place to meet their security requirements. The HIPAA Security Rule Crosswalk to NIST Cybersecurity Framework is an example of a regulation aligning with NIST.

The report is available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The report is located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Threat Detection & Vulnerability Assessments.

The report requirements are:

Tenable.sc 5.9.0
Nessus 10.2.0

Leveraging Tenable reports enables operations teams to verify that appropriate protections are in place for data at rest, data in transit, and removable media. Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives.

Chapters

Executive Summary: This chapter provides a summary view on the state of protections controls relating to Certificates, Encryption, and Confidentiality and Protected Information.

Data Protection Details – This chapter provides details on the state of protection controls in the environment for Certificates, Encryption, and Confidentiality and Protected Information, which are described below.

• Certificates – This section displays findings for hosts with expired certificates, certificates that are expiring soon, untrusted certificates and self-signed certificates.  Expired certificates and other certificate problems cause a denial of service, man-in-the-middle, and trust-related concerns for organizations.  
• SSL/TLS Vulnerability Summary – This section provides an overview of systems and vulnerabilities related to SSL/TLS.  The SSL/TLS Vulnerabilities by Type element displays a count of systems and vulnerabilities related to SSLv2 and SSLv3 in the first two rows. From the third row down, information is provided on all the systems running any version of TLSv1 and higher.
• Encryption – This section provides an overview of systems and vulnerabilities related to SSL/TLS and Encryption/Cryptographic Compliance. Information presented in this section highlights issues such as weak hashing algorithms and keys as well as the use of insecure encryption ciphers. Many of these issues are the result of misconfigurations or use of outdated encryption methods. This detailed information also highlights vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. Tenable recommends that security teams review the data to determine the risk to the organization.
• Confidentiality of Protected Information – This section provides an overview of systems and vulnerabilities related to Security Requirement 3.13.16 in the NIST Special Publication 800-171. Revision 2 provides guidance to protect the confidentiality of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) at rest and maps to Security Control SC-28 of NIST Special Publication 800-53.  
• File Content Audit Results – The following section displays File Content Audit Results. The first two rows of the File Contents Audit Results Compliance Checks provide the total count of Passed checks, Failed checks, and checks requiring a manual review. The first row, ‘Check Count’, provides a count of the current checks per check status. The second row, ‘Check Ratio’, provides a ratio view of check status. The three columns together total 100%. The last two rows provide a system count analysis. The third row, ‘System Count’, provides the number of systems with at least one audit check in the applicable state. The last row, ‘System Ratio’, provides a percentage of systems with at least one audit check in the applicable state.

Web application security is a key concern for any organization that develops or uses web applications. The software security community created the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) to help educate developers and security professionals on the latest web application security risks. Tenable has published reports for each OWASP version that has been released (2010,2013,2017, API 2019, and 2021). The individual reports provide organizations the ability to monitor web applications by identifying the top 10 most critical web application security risks as described in OWASP's Top 10 Application Security Risks document for the OWASP version being utilized.

The OWASP Top 10 Application Security Risks document outlines several different aspects of web-based security concerns, such as Cross-Site Scripting attacks (XSS), security misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure. The focus of the OWASP Top 10 is to reduce risk across the most vulnerable business assets across the internet. Following these guidelines empowers organizations to reduce risk of organizational and consumer data theft.

Administrators need to ensure that their organization is not vulnerable to any of the attacks identified in the OWASP Top 10 Application Security Risks document for the relevant OWASP version being currently being used. Compliance related issues, such as known vulnerable components and insufficient logging, must be remediated to eliminate gaps in an organization's security that are not directly tied to exploitable attacks.

This report covers all aspects of the OWASP Top 10 version being utilized and provides administrators the tools and information needed to aid their efforts. The report contains 10 chapters, each aligned with one of the ten most critical web application risks (A1-A10). The information provides guidance to organizations on the actions necessary to mitigate business risk through strong security practices. The report requirements are Tenable Web App Scanning.

Report Templates:

The OWASP Top 10 categories are updated every 3 to 4 years and highlight the most critical web application security vulnerabilities. The following report templates are available and contain sections for each of the listed OWASP Top 10 categories.

• OWASP Categories 2010 - For 2010, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Broken Authentication in the top three positions.
• OWASP Categories 2013 - For 2013, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Injection, Broken Authentication and Session Management in the top three positions.

• OWASP Categories API 2019 - For 2019, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Broken Object Level Authorization, Broken User Authentication, and Excessive Data Exposure in the top three positions.
• OWASP Categories 2021 - For 2021, the OWASP Top 10 focuses on Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, and Injection in the top three positions.

The inimitable Joyce Carol Oates returns with Dear Husband-a gripping and moving story collection that powerfully re-imagines the meaning of family in America, often through violent means. Oates, a former recipient of the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction-as well as the National Book Award, Prix Femina, and numerous other literary honors-dazzles and disturbs with an outstanding compilation. Dear Husband is another triumph for the author of The Gravedigger's Daughter, We Were the Mulvaneys, and Blonde.

Sir Edward Grey (1862-1933) was Britain's longest-serving Foreign Secretary, holding office from December 1905 to December 1916. Best known today for his observation on the eve of World War I, "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we won't see them lit again in our lifetime," Grey had worked tirelessly to keep the lamps on, while keeping Britain and the Empire secure. During his eventful and stressful years in office, and before and after, Grey corresponded extensively with Katharine Lyttelton (1860-1943), the wife of a high-ranking general who served as the first Chief of the General Staff. Though they were probably not lovers-readers can decide for themselves-the relationship was an intimate one, and Grey was able confide in her thoughts and feelings he concealed from Cabinet colleagues and his male friends. The letters, selected and edited by Jeff Lipkes, reveal a side to Grey that has not been fully appreciated. He was amusing, shrewd, and humane, and a close observer of individuals as well as of nature. His observations still speak to us. They will resonate with everyone who loves the outdoors and solitude. Those coping with an overpowering grief, with a strong distaste for their work, or with approaching blindness may find them especially poignant. But others not so afflicted may discover they have become kinder, more courageous, and more observant for having read Grey's letters. Dear Kathanine Courageous includes an eighty-page introduction by Lipkes on Grey, Lytellton, and their circle, and an Afterword on the Foreign Secretary's private life.

Full of "can't look away" moments, Dear Killer is a psychological thriller perfect for fans of gritty realistic fiction such as Dan Wells's I Am Not a Serial Killer and Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why, as well as television's Dexter. Rule One-Nothing is right, nothing is wrong. Kit looks like your average seventeen-year-old high school student, but she has a secret-she's London's notorious "Perfect Killer." She chooses who to murder based on letters left in a secret mailbox, and she's good-no, perfect-at what she does. Her moral nihilism-the fact that she doesn't believe in right and wrong-makes being a serial killer a whole lot easier . . . until she breaks her own rules by befriending someone she's supposed to murder, as well as the detective in charge of the Perfect Killer case.

Dear Mary, New Prospects, Montana, is nothing like England-so terrifying and beautiful at the same time, and much larger than I dared imagine when you and I first embarked on our adventures in the New World. I have had the good fortune of becoming the town's schoolmistress. Young Janie Steele is as precious as I imagined from her letters. As for her father, Garret Steele...Oh, I feel like such a fool! I've run halfway around the world to escape a man I loathed, only to discover I'm losing my heart to a man still in love with the wife he buried. The mayor, kind man, has been most attentive. But I wish he were someone else. I wish he were Garret. With affection, Your friend Beth Wellington In the big-sky country of Montana, the past doesn't always stay buried. Circumstances have a way of forcing secrets into the open, sometimes bringing hearts together in unlikely ways, and sometimes tearing them apart. Dear Lady is Book One in the Coming to America series about women who come to America to start new lives. Set in the late 1800's and early 1900's, these novels by best-selling author Robin Lee Hatcher craft intense chemistry and conflict between the characters, lit by a glowing faith and humanity that will win your heart. Look for other books in the series at your favorite Christian bookstore.

Tricia learns to listen to her inner voice, and heals herself by finding her source of courage and strength is within her.

Keith Attle 700258 : Addie May was in many ways before her time. She was strong willed, not afraid to speak her mind, and could distinguish between right and wrong with good common sense. For her, there was no middle ground. This became evident at a very early age as she was born with two strikes against her. First, one leg was shorter than the other, which caused her to limp all of her life and subjecting her to be ridiculed as a child. Secondly, she was left-handed. Today this is not an issue, but for thousands of years, this attribute was associated with witchcraft and devil possession. Addie May's mother tried everything she could to change her but to no avail. Even a sore and blistered hand and punishment by her first-grade teacher did not dissuade her. Her formal education finished at eighth grade, yet she became a court deputy, a bookkeeper for her husband's hugely successful business, a practical nurse, mother, and grandmother. It was the later when I came to know her. Death was a frequent visitor throughout her life. Somehow she was able to mask her inner emotions while smiling and comforting others facing pain, distress, and death. She was a decent, honorable, and compassionate human being who never thought of herself as anything special. This book is a tribute to a woman who never received the recognition she deserved. It is my desire to correct this. It's unfortunate she will never know.

L’investissement dans les agriculteurs, c’est-à-dire le capital humain de l’agriculture, est crucial pour relever les défis que posent nos systèmes agroalimentaires.

Le changement climatique constitue une menace croissante pour nos systèmes alimentaires, dont les implications sont graves pour la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, les moyens de subsistance et le bien-être général, en particulier pour les personnes pauvres et vulnérables du monde entier. Une action urgente contre le changement climatique est attendue à l’échelle mondiale – à la fois pour réaliser les importantes réductions d’émissions requises pour limiter le réchauffement climatique et pour accroître les capacités d’adaptation et la résilience.

L'enorme potentiel agricole de la Republique Democratiqu du Congo (RDC) est bien documente. Le pays est doté de plus de deux millions de kilomètres carrés (km²) de terres, dont 800 mille sont arables, et pourtant, la portion de terres cultivées ne s’élève qu’à 10 pour cent. La RDC bénéficie également de conditions climatiques et météorologiques favorables, permettant plusieurs récoltes de nombreuses cultures chaque année.

Les modèles d’équilibre général calculable (MEGC), largement admis dans la littérature et utilisés comme outils d’analyse d’impacts potentiels de politiques économiques, sont alimentés par des données provenant de la Matrice de Comptabilité Sociale (MCS). Celle-ci appartient à la grande famille des comptes nationaux, représentant l’ensemble des interrelations entre les activités, les institutions d’une économie.

Cette note propose un résumé des politiques, stratégies et plans d’action ayant trait à la nutrition (désignés ici sous le terme de « politiques ») en Afrique de l’Ouest.

Ce document présente une analyse des chaînes de valeur agroalimentaires de manioc, de riz, de lait et de poisson le long du corridor économique entre les capitales provinciales de Bukavu (Sud-Kivu) et Kalemie (Tanganyika) situées dans la partie orientale de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC). Les principales données utilisées pour cette étude proviennent d’enquêtes menées en 2021 auprès d’environ 3000 acteurs conomiques familiaux, y compris des agriculteurs, des transformateurs et des intermédiaires, actifs dans une ou plusieurs des quatre filières ciblées.

2022 began with concerns over supply chains and Software Bills of Material (SBOM) as organizations worldwide were forced to reconsider how they respond to incidents in anticipation of the next major event. Tenable’s Security Response Team (SRT) continuously monitors the threat landscape throughout the year, always at the forefront of trending vulnerabilities and security threats. This dashboard provides a summary of Tenable data that has been compiled over the past year.

In a year marked by hacktivism, ransomware and attacks targeting critical infrastructure in a turbulent macroeconomic environment, organizations struggled to keep pace with the demands on cybersecurity teams and resources. Attacks against critical infrastructure remained a common concern. Ransomware continued to wreak havoc, even as some groups had operations shuttered by law enforcement, collapsed under the weight of internal power struggles, or splintered into new groups. New and complex vulnerabilities emerged, providing remediation challenges.

Perhaps most alarming is that the vulnerabilities of years past continue to haunt organizations. In fact, known flaws were so prominent inn 2022 that they warranted a spot on Tenable’s list of top vulnerabilities of 2022. We cannot stress this enough: Threat actors continue to find success with known and proven exploitable vulnerabilities that organizations have failed to patch or remediate successfully.

The constant evolution of the modern digital environment introduces new challenges for security practitioners. Successful security programs must take a comprehensive approach and understand where the most sensitive data and systems reside and what vulnerabilities or misconfigurations pose the greatest risk. Given the brisk rate of digital transformation, a complete understanding of the external attack surface is paramount.

With thousands of new vulnerabilities patched each year, only a small subset will ever see active exploitation. Focusing resources on the vulnerabilities that are exploitable and understanding how attackers chain vulnerabilities and misconfigurations enables security teams to design comprehensive strategies to reduce their overall risk exposure.

The Tenable 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR) inspects key aspects of the cybersecurity landscape and describes how organizations can revise their programs to focus on reducing risk. The TLR covers:

• Significant vulnerabilities disclosed and exploited throughout the year, including how common cloud misconfigurations can affect even large tech companies
• The continuous transformation of the ransomware ecosystem and the rise of extortion-only threat groups
• Ongoing risks, vulnerabilities and attacks within the software supply chain
• Tactics used by advanced persistent threat groups to target organizations with cyber espionage as well as financially motivated attacks.
• Breach factors and the challenges in analyzing breach data, given the limited information available and lack of detailed reporting requirements
• Details of the key vulnerabilities affecting enterprise software

Tenable Research delivers world class cyber exposure intelligence, data science insights, alerts, and security advisories. The Tenable Research teams perform diverse work that builds the foundation of vulnerability management. The Security Response Team (SRT) tracks threat and vulnerability intelligence feeds and provides rapid insight to the Vulnerability Detection team, enabling them to quickly create plugins and tools that expedite vulnerability detection. This fast turnaround enables customers to gain immediate insight into their current risk posture. Tenable Research has released over 180,000 plugins and leads the industry on CVE coverage. Additionally, the SRT provides breakdowns for the latest vulnerabilities on the Tenable Blog and produces an annual Threat Landscape Report. The SRT continuously analyzes the evolving threat landscape, authors white papers, blogs, Cyber Exposure Alerts, and additional communications to provide customers with comprehensive information to evaluate cyber risk.

Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives. Tenable.sc discovers and analyzes assets continuously to provide an accurate and unified view of an organization’s security posture. The requirements for this dashboard is: Nessus.

Components

TLR 2022 – Top 5 Vulnerabilities:  This component features the top five vulnerabilities of 2022 as described in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report: Log4shell, Apache Log4j - CVE-2021-44228, Follina, Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool - CVE-2022-30190, Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center - CVE-2022-26134, ProxyShell, Microsoft Exchange Server - CVE-2021-34473, and Known Vulnerabilities - CVE-20XX-XXXX.

2022 TLR – Mitigation Tasks:  This component provides a list of patches that mitigate the key vulnerabilities in 2022, leveraging the CVEs identified in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). The Remediation Summary tool uses the concept of a Patch Chain, and identifies the top patch to be remediated for the greatest risk reduction. When the top patch is applied, all other patches in the chain will be remediated.

2022 TLR – 90 Day Trend Analysis of Key Vulnerabilities: This component provides a 90-day analysis of the most notable vulnerabilities in 2022, leveraging the CVEs identified in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). There are over 180 CVEs discussed in the TLR, which, combined with the trend line, helps risk managers determine how risk has been reduced over a period of 90 days. The vulnerability last observed filter is set to 1 day to display risk changes on a daily basis.

2022 TLR CVSS to VPR Heat Map: This component provides a correlation between CVSSv3 scores and Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) scoring for the key vulnerabilities listed in the 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). The CVSSv3 scores are the standard scoring system used to describe the characteristics and severity of software vulnerabilities. Tenable's VPR helps organizations refine the severity level of vulnerabilities in the environment by leveraging data science analysis and threat modeling based on emerging threats. Each cell is comprised of a combination of cross-mapping of CVSS, VPR scoring, and 2022 CVE identifiers. Using a heat map approach, the filters begin in the left upper corner with vulnerabilities that present least risk.  Moving to the right and lower down the matrix the colors change darker from yellow to red as the risk levels increase.  Tenable recommends that operations teams prioritize remediation for risks in the lower right corners, and then work towards the upper left cells.

2022 TLR – Zero Day Vulnerabilities by Software/Hardware Type: This component displays a list of software/hardware that had zero-day vulnerabilities described in the 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). Each indicator uses CVE from the report through the entire 2022 year. Details are provided in Tenable's 2021 Threat Landscape Report (TLR).

2022 TLR Key Vulnerabilities: This component displays cells for the most significant vulnerabilities of 2022 using CVE filters from the 2022 Threat Landscape Report. These filters display the key vulnerabilities from 2022 as well as the notable legacy vulnerabilities from prior years. Details are provided in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report.

Web application security is a key concern for any organization that develops or uses web applications. The software security community created the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)  to help educate developers and security professionals on the latest web application security risks. This dashboard provides organizations the ability to monitor web applications by identifying the top 10 most critical web application security risks as described in OWASP's Top 10 Application Security Risks document for 2021.

The OWASP Application Security Risks document outlines several different categories of web-based security concerns, such as Cross-Site Scripting attacks (XSS), security misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure. OWASP's focus is to reduce risk across the most vulnerable business assets across the internet. Following these guidelines empowers organizations to reduce risk of organizational and consumer data theft.

Administrators need to ensure that their organization is not vulnerable to any of the attacks identified by OWASP. Remediating compliance related issues, such as known vulnerable components and insufficient logging, is important to eliminate gaps in an organization's infrastructure that are not directly tied to exploitable attacks.

These dashboards are available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, Assurance Report Cards, and assets. The dashboards can be easily located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Compliance & Configuration Assessment. The dashboard requirements are:

• Tenable.sc 6.2.0
• Tenable Web Application Scanning

This dashboard covers all versions of the OWASP Top 10 from 2010 to 2021, and provides administrators the tools and information needed to aid their efforts. The dashboard provides comparative view between version, using the cross-reference field utilized by plugins. The information will guide organizations on the actions to mitigate business risk through strong security practices. 

Components

WAS Data Concerns: This bar chart displays current (2021) OWASP vulnerability counts, sorted by plugin family and severity. According to OWASP, "the Top 10 represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications." Identifying and fixing these issues provides organizations with a solid foundation for secure web development.

OWASP Categories by URL: This component displays vulnerability status counts for each Uniform Resource Locator (URL) within the organization. The URLs are sorted from those with the highest, most severe vulnerabilities to the least severe. Each URL has a graph of severity results for each severity category. 

OWASP Versions by State: This matrix displays the current and all previous OWASP versions along with a column displaying each state (New, Current, Resurfaced, Fixed). This information assists organizations in identifying OWASP vulnerabilities that are new, currently active, have previously been mitigated and have resurfaced, or have been fixed, for each OWASP version. 

OWASP Versions by Severity: This matrix displays the current and all previous OWASP Top 10 from Critical to Low. Each cell displays data on the count of web application vulnerabilities associated with the OWASP Top 10 release, and severity level. This information assists organizations in identifying the most severe OWASP vulnerabilities for the OWASP version in use. 

One of the common questions often asked of the IT team is “how many systems are missing patches and how many patches are missing on each system?”  This dashboard uses the “Patch Report” plugin and organizes the current patch status for systems scanned with credentials.  The IT team can now easily communicate the specific systems with missing patches to executives.

The Nessus "Patch Report" plugin (66334) elegantly summarizes all of the missing patches and general remediation actions required to remediate the discovered vulnerabilities on a given host. Instead of counting the number of vulnerabilities, the plugin lists applications that need to be upgraded. The approach is not only much easier for IT administrators to consume, but the count of applications provides a measure of how much "work" is required to secure a system.

The dashboard provides risk guidance using the “Remediation Summary” tool.  This tool works by employing a concept called “top patch”.  Tenable Security Center uses proprietary technology to identify a chain of patches.  The first patch in the chain is called the “top patch”.  If the “top patch” is applied, all subsequent vulnerabilities will also be remediated at the same time.  Using both the Remediation Summary tool and “Patch Report” plugin, the organization can better plan remediation efforts.   

The dashboard and its components are available in the Tenable Security Center Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets.  The dashboard can be easily located in the Tenable Security Center Feed under the category Executive. The dashboard requirements are:

• Tenable Security Center
• Nessus
• This dashboard requires “Full Text Search” to be enabled for each analyzed repository.

Please note the "Full Text Search" option must be enabled for the repository to support the trending component.

Tenable Security Center has the ability to identify all discoverable vulnerabilities, eliminating blind spots. Tenable detects missing patches, incorrect configurations, lapsed defenses, incomplete monitoring and network intruders—so you can mitigate them.  Tenable Security Center can show risk across all systems, enabling informed decisions.  Tenable’s approach to continuous monitoring reaches across cloud, virtual, mobile and traditional systems and measures attack vectors in each of these domains.  Tenable Security Center provides a unique combination of detection, reporting, and pattern recognition utilizing industry recognized algorithms and models.  By providing that single point of data collection, Tenable.sc enables sharing of vulnerability scanning results across the technical groups and business owners. Tenable.sc is continuously updated with information about advanced threats and zero-day vulnerabilities, and new types of regulatory compliance configuration audits.

Components

Remediations Tracking - Top 25 Remediations: This component provides the top 25 remediation actions that can be taken to reduce overall risk.  The table is sorted using vulnerability weight scores, which are calculated differently for each organization.  To determine score weights, login with the admin account, edit your organization and then select “Analysis”.  In the upper right hand corner, there are four scores, one for each severity level. The default scores are: critical = 40, high = 10, medium = 3 and low = 1. The vulnerability weight helps to determine a fully calculated score used in risk analysis.

The Outstanding Remediations - Time Since Patch Publication (Assets) matrix displays the total count of missing patches across the environment. The matrix is comprised of five columns. The first column provides a count of the vulnerabilities that are exploitable, and the last four columns provide counts of vulnerabilities based on Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) levels. VPR scores are displayed as column headers in traditional severity text.  Critical represents VPR 9-10, High represents VPR 7-8.9, Medium represents VPR 4-6.9, and Low represents VPR 0.1-3.9. Each row filters the vulnerabilities based on the patch publication date of less than 30 days ago, Current Quarter, Last Quarter, Current Year, Last Year, and greater than 365 Days.

The End of Life Software Detection table displays a list of software that is no longer supported by the vendor. The table is sorted by the count column, which lists a count of the total number of assets affected by the unsupported software package. The filter used is for Plugin Name equals Unsupported. Tenable recommends that assets found here be upgraded to a higher supported version as soon as possible, since vendors no longer list active vulnerabilities for end-of-life software.

The Outstanding Remediations by Device Type (Vulnerabilities) matrix displays the total count of missing patches by device type. The matrix is comprised of five columns. The first column provides a count of the vulnerabilities that are exploitable, and the last four columns provide counts of vulnerabilities based on Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) levels. VPR scores are displayed as column headers in traditional severity text.  Critical represents VPR 9-10, High represents VPR 7-8.9, Medium represents VPR 4-6.9, and Low represents VPR 0.1-3.9.  There is a row present which groups devices by type, such as Linux, Windows, or macOS devices. Counts present in each cell represents the number of vulnerabilities present for the device group and VPR score.
