Fixed-Scope and Ongoing Remediation Goals

Required Tenable Vulnerability Management User Role:Basic User, Scan Operator, Standard, Scan Manager, or Administrator

When creating a remediation goal, you can set the scope to be fixed or ongoing.

Fixed-scope goals — Applies to scenarios where a group of vulnerabilities or even just one vulnerability needs remediation in a certain period of time.

Ongoing (open-scope) goals — Applies to a scenario where you have to ensure that there is always an assigned owner to track a certain type of vulnerability, such as assigning all critical Tenable PCI ASV vulnerabilities needing remediation to owners.
