Group Your Findings

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

On the Findings workbench, you can group your findings by specific attributes. You can group host vulnerabilities, cloud misconfigurations, and web application findings, but you cannot group host audit findings.

To group your vulnerability findings:

  1. In the left navigation, click Findings.

    The Findings workbench appears.

  2. Do one of the following:

    1. Next to Group By, click one of the following:

      • Asset — The name of the asset where a scan identified a vulnerability.

      • Plugin — The name of the plugin that identified a vulnerability.

      The system groups your findings by the selected attribute.

    2. View the following details about your grouped findings. These vary depending on the attribute you select:

      Asset IP The IPv4 or IPv6 address associated with the asset record.
      Vulnerabilities A descriptive image that indicates vulnerability percentages by CVSS-based severity for each set of grouped findings. For more information, see CVSS vs. VPR.
      Vuln Count The number of vulnerabilities that Tenable Vulnerability Management identified on each set of grouped findings.
      Critical The number of vulnerabilities with a critical CVSS-based severity rating on each set of grouped findings. For more information, see CVSS vs. VPR.
      High The number of vulnerabilities with a high CVSS-based severity rating on each set of grouped findings. For more information, see CVSS vs. VPR.
      Plugin
      Severity The CVSS-based severity score identified on each set of grouped findings. For more information, see CVSS vs. VPR.

    1. Next to Group By, click one of the following:

      • Policy — The cloud policy associated with the affected asset.

        Policy Group — The unique ID for the cloud policy associated with the affected asset.

      • Resource Type — The name of the cloud resource type (for example, a resource group or virtual machine).

      The Findings table displays your findings grouped by the selected attribute.

    2. View the following details about your grouped findings. These vary depending on the attribute you select:

      Column Description

      Count of Impacted Resources The number of cloud resources the vulnerability impacts.
      Policy Group  
      Policy ID

      The unique ID for the cloud policy associated with the affected asset.

      Severity The vulnerability's CVSS-based severity. For more information, see CVSS vs. VPR.
      Policy Group The group associated with the security policy that governs the affected asset.
      Exists in Cloud Indicates whether the affected cloud resource exists in a cloud environment.
      Exists in IAC Indicates whether the affected asset was created via Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
      Count of Impacted Resources The number of cloud resources the vulnerability impacts.
      Misconfiguration Count The number of misconfigurations that Tenable Vulnerability Management identified on each set of grouped findings.
      Resource Type
      Resource Type The CVSS-based severity score identified on each set of grouped findings. For more information, see CVSS vs. VPR.
      Count of Affected Resources

      The number of cloud resources the vulnerability affects.

      Count of Immutable Drift

      The number of discrepancies between the running cloud environment on which the affected resource runs and the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) that was used to deploy it.
      Misconfiguration Count The number of misconfigurations that Tenable Vulnerability Management identified on each set of grouped findings.

    1. Next to Group By, click one of the following:

      • Asset — The unique name for the web application associated with the affected asset.

      • Plugin — The ID of the web application resource type (for example, a resource group or virtual machine).

      The web application findings table appears with your findings grouped by the selected attribute.

    2. View the following details about your grouped findings. These vary depending on the attribute you select:

      Column Description
      Asset
