The Vulnerability Management capability of Carbon Black Cloud gives you an insight of the current security state of your environment so you can make informed decisions and allocate resources with confidence. If Carbon Black Cloud performs vulnerability scan and identifies an endpoint, or a VM as potentially compromised, you can proceed with remediating it. Some vulnerabilities can be minor and determining the priority for remediating them can measure their impact throughout your system.

Also, you can filter the vulnerabilities in the Carbon Black Cloud console to view only OS vulnerabilities, which contain stronger data quality.

You can resolve a vulnerability for an endpoint or a VM based on the information provided within the Vulnerabilities view of the Carbon Black Cloud console.
