Resolving Security Risks

When Vulnerability Assessment runs a task, it creates results that provide you with valuable information for resolving vulnerability-based security risks. You can view specific vulnerability risks according to individual computers from the Task Details, Result Summary or Machine Status screen.

The Results Summary and the Machine Status screens display the Vulnerability Name for each computer at risk. The name is linked to the Trend Micro Web site (see below).You can use this information to learn more about the vulnerability and how to eliminate it.

Example: You run a task and the result is 3 critical security risks. You click on the number next to Critical in the Assessment Results table. The Task Detail screen opens. You see three computers and their associated critical vulnerabilities.  All of them have the MS03-026 vulnerability which is associated with the potential threat, WORM_NACHI.A. You click MS03-025 and your browser displays the Security Information from Trend Micro which advises you to download and apply a patch. The Web site provides a link to the patch.
