Remediation task form fields

Using remediation tasks, the analyst can monitor progress and drive the mediation process more efficiently.

These fields are found on records listed in the Remediation Task [sn_vul_vulnerability] table.

To view imported data in the fields listed in the following tables, you must have, at a minimum, the sn_vul.read_all role.

Field	Description
Number	The automatically generated vulnerable item (VI) number for this record.
Risk rating	Rollup of vulnerable item risk scores separated into ranges: Critical, High, Medium, Low and None. For more information on risk ratings see, Vulnerability Response calculators and vulnerability calculator rules.Note: This base Risk rating is not the same as the Solution record Risk rating.
Risk score	Rollup of the risk scores of all of the vulnerable items associated with this remediation task. Amount of risk the vulnerable items, collectively, pose to your environment. Note: This base Risk score is not the same as the Solution record Risk score.
Remediation target	Date by which the vulnerable items should be remediated, since first identified.For more information on remediation targets see Vulnerability Response remediation target rules.
Remediation status	Status of the remediation for the task. It is determined by the vulnerable item with the nearest due date. For open groups states include: In-flight Approaching Target Target Missed For closed groups states include: No Target Target Met Target Missed For calculated remediation target dates, if the task is closed, the overall remediation status of all of the closed vulnerable items is shown in the task. Those determine whether the task met its date or not. A closed task's remediation Status is No Target if none of its closed items had a remediation target date. It is Target Missed if any of its closed items missed their target date. It is Target Met if at least one closed VI met its target and none of the others missed it.
State	Progress status of the task. States include: Open Under Investigation Awaiting Implementation Deferred In Review Resolved Closed For more information on states, see Vulnerability Response remediation task and vulnerable item states.
