Vulnerability Reports


Once a scan is completed, analyzing the data can be quite a task. Depending upon the audience, there is often too much or too little data. The reporting framework in ScanFi has been designed to provide the flexibility necessary to satisfy all parties. Various levels of technical detail are supported, allowing reports to be tailored for audiences ranging from upper management to system administrators.

 

Reports can be generated automatically from ScanFi web-console in HTML formats and exported to PDF formats or even e-mailed to any number of recipients in PDF formats. Customization is simple as ScanFi provides report customization templates, whereby report sections can be added, removed or re-ordered. The amount of technical detail can be adjusted, allowing reports to be tailored for any target audience.

Not only are ScanFi reports flexible, but they also provide the needed information efficiently in color-coded and graphical format. Vulnerability reports contain information to quickly understand what the problem is and provide supporting evidence that the system is vulnerable. URL links to vendor advisories and downloadable patches make remediation straightforward.
