Asset Groups

Purpose

This document provides users with a overview of Asset Groups. 

Introduction

The Asset Groups tab is a dashboard for Managed and Unmanaged groups showing some basic information on findings trends, fixed trends, remediation, and CVSSv3. 

Prerequisites

The reader needs basic access to the OUTSCAN™ account with an active SWAT subscription to interact with groups in Managed section.

Getting Started

Open a browser and navigate to https://outscan.outpost24.com/portal.

Enter your credentials and click on the blue arrow button to log in.

For more information about the Portal see Getting Started with the Portal.

Dashboard

In the Asset groups view, all the SWAT assets are listed under the overview panel of Managed section on the left hand side. Click and drag the three dot do resize the panel.

Each card is a graphical representation of number of open findings, fixed findings, remediated findings, a graphical representation of the CVSSv3 score and a graph showing the trends of the findings. 

Overview

Clicking the Asset group overview tree column to the left shows the overview bar at the top is the combined data for all instances.

Selecting a specific asset group changes the overview bar to a specific information bar for the selected group showing the name of the group, number of assets, number of findings associated and the creation date for the selected asset group.

Clicking on Assets, Most open vulnerable asset group, Most open vulnerable asset, Open Findings, and Closed Findings opens a filtered view in Asset or Findings for each of the items respectively.

Assets

Show the total number of assets associated with all of the Asset Groups. If an Asset Group is selected, then the value represents the assets associated with selected Asset Group. Assets are groupings of one or several identifiers such as IP addresses and host names that represent distinct resources customers wants to secure. As such, an asset may represent entities such as employee's, websites, databases, OCI images, cloud resources, Outpost24 agents etc.

See Assets for more information.

Asset Group with the Most Open Vulnerabilities

Shows the asset group with the most open findings and the Web Application it belongs to if it is of Managed type. Clicking on it displays a filtered view with the affected parent group or Web Application and the associated assets are listed together with the findings

Asset with the Most Open Vulnerabilities

Shows the asset with the most open findings. As Outpost24 services scan and analyze targets, findings are generated and associated with the corresponding assets.

See Assets for more information.

Open Findings

Number of open findings.

An open finding is defined as a finding with the status set to PRESENT, PENDING VERIFICATION, or IRREPRODUCIBLE.

Findings are the potential risks and recommended reconfiguration suggestions found during automatic and manual assessments of the target asset. These vary from security best practices which lower the attack surface of the target to exploitable vulnerabilities that were verified and confirmed as being present and relevant for the target.

Findings include their classification, risk score and information describing what it is, why it was found and how an attacker might be able to exploit the vulnerability as well as provide clear solutions to remediate the risk.

See Vulnerabilities for more information.

Closed Findings

Number of closed findings.

A closed finding is defined as a finding with a non-empty value of its fixed attribute.

See Vulnerabilities for more information.

Total Findings

Total number of findings in all asset groups.

See Vulnerabilities for more information.

Vulnerabilities Average Score

This card shows both the average score for all open vulnerabilities as well as a breakdown for each severity. The score is based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) which provides a way to capture the characteristics of a vulnerability and produce a numerical score reflecting its severity. The numerical score is translated into a qualitative representation (such as Low, Medium, High, and Critical) to help assess and prioritize the vulnerability management processes.

See Vulnerabilities for more information.

Clicking on any of the severity bars redirects you to a filtered view of findings of the selected score level.

OWASP Top 10

The OWASP Top 10 card display the findings in a graphical format according to the score of the vulnerability according to OWASP. The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 is a standard awareness document for developers and web application security, and represents a broad consensus about what the most critical web application security flaws are.

Clicking on the various colored parts of the OWASP diagram redirects you to a filtered list in the Findings Vulnerability view.

This diagram will only be displayed if at least one asset is of Appsec type identified by the source being any of SCALE, SCALE_API, SCALE_SPA, APPSEC, SWAT, ASSURE or SNAPSHOT

Findings Trend

This metric provides a comprehensive view of how business risks are evolving over time tracking the lifecycle of open and closed findings from the moment they are first identified ("first seen") to when they no longer appear ("last seen"). By analyzing this trend, valuable insights can be gained into the effectiveness of your risk management strategies and identify areas that require attention or improvement.

Findings Top 10

Findings Top 10 shows ten most recent, still open findings with the highest CVSS severity along with the severity and asset they were detected on.

Solutions Top 10

Solutions Top 10 shows ten actions that will resolve most vulnerabilities along with the number of risks and affected assets.

Subscriptions

The Subscriptions card represents the customer's engagement with Outpost24 and each entry corresponds to an already purchased and paid subscription.

The Subscription card list the current subscriptions assigned to the selected web application, as well as those that are unassigned and a history of all of them.

The list in the Subscription card is sorted into four groups: Active, Unassigned, Inactive, and Inactive & unassigned.

Subscription Status	Description
	Active show the subscriptions that are currently active and the the end date of that subscription.
	Ending soon shows an active subscription where the end date is near giving you a warning that the subscription is on the end of  its valid period.
	Unassigned to any web app but active until date.
	Inactive show inactive subscription where the subscription time has run out or subscriptions that have a start date of activation in the future.

There are cases where licenses expire without having been used. These are listed under Inactive & unassigned at the bottom.

Overview Cards

The Overview Card shows each Asset group with basic information and breaks down the results in to six categories. The results can be filtered by toggling the Show only vulnerable and Show only active subscription switches

The Show only vulnerable switch, when activated, exclude recommendation findings from being counted and only count findings containing vulnerabilities.

The Show only active subscription switch filters out all but active subscriptions, and show only Asset Groups that currently have an active subscription attached to it, as well as information about said and past subscriptions in the Overview cards.

Clicking on the name of the Asset Group will open the dashboard for said Asset Group, whereas clicking on the different info sections will redirect you to a filtered list of findings.

The Overview Card is only available for Managed type of group.

Solution

The solution section provides an actionable advice on how to remediate the vulnerability as well as detailed information about the context of the vulnerability where it was found.

Solution Patches

The Solution Patches card shows a patch number recommended to remediate the vulnerability that was found. This is the same patch as the one that can be found in the Solution Patch column.

Classifications

A list of references to widely recognized vulnerability categorization values. 

CWE™

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE™) is a community-developed list of common software and hardware weaknesses that have security ramifications. A weakness is a condition in a software, firmware, hardware, or service component that, under certain circumstances, could contribute to the introduction of vulnerabilities.^[2]

CAPEC™

Common Attack Pattern Enumerations and Classifications (CAPEC™) is a catalog of known cyber security attack patterns used to prevent attacks.^[3]

OWASP

The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 is a standard awareness document for developers and web application security, and represents a broad consensus about what the most critical web application security flaws are. ^[4]

SANS Top 25

The SANS value shows the vulnerability score in the 2023 CWE™ Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses.

First seen

When the vulnerability was first discovered on the specific asset.

Last Seen

When the vulnerability was last seen on the specific asset.

Exploits

Shows if there are any known public exploits from various sources.

Only visible to Farsight users. To use Farsight you first need to enable the function in your subscription. Contact Outpost24® Support for more information on how you can enable the Farsight feature.

Farsight

The Likelihood feature in Outpost24® Farsight provides an easier way to address vulnerabilities that are relevant and may impact an organization irrespective of the CVSS score or the presence of an exploit for a vulnerability.

By focusing on the likelihood, you are mitigating vulnerabilities that, based on the machine learning model, are predicting an increased risk even though it may not currently be exploited.

Risk classification of assets serves a purpose and should be conducted to further distinguish where to focus most efforts. This task can be time-consuming and may not produce viable results in the first couple of iterations. Farsight enables you to filter out some unlikely vulnerabilities with little to no prior knowledge about the vulnerabilities or assets, getting you on track with your vulnerability program faster. 

Risk Score - Likelihood 

Likelihood is a risk indicator that shows how many times more likely a vulnerability is to be exploited compared to average, where approximately 95% of all vulnerabilities are never exploited. This is displayed in the Likelihood column in the Findings view. The value can go from 1 to 100, where 100 is the equivalent of saying it will be (or has been already) exploited in the wild in the next 12 months. The benefit to the customer is the ability to drive a more aggressive risk-based remediation, focusing on even fewer vulnerabilities that reach a particular likelihood.  It is also worth noting that any vulnerability already exploited in the wild will have the risk value of 100 as it has been exploited already.

Since risk score is machine learning driven, several factors affect the risk rating, which can decrease and increase based on activity in the wild.

Exploits

CVSS score	CRITICAL - 9.0-10.0 HIGH - 7.0-8.9 MEDIUM - 4.0-6.9 LOW - 0.1-3.9 RECOMMENDATION - 0 UNKNOWN	The CVSS score is a numerical value that quantifies the severity of a security vulnerability. It consists of three main components: the Base Score (intrinsic severity), the Temporal Score (current risk), the Environmental Score (customized based on an organization's environment). The Base Score ranges from 0.0 to 10.0 and is determined by assessing various metrics. The CVSS score column combines score from both CVSS v2 and CVSS v3 where v3 have priority. However, when v3 is not available, v2 is shown. The CVSS score is shown as default, but previous CVSS-specific columns are still available.
CVSS Severity	The format is based on a combination of CVSS V2 and V3 Severities. Note that a 9.5 score in V2 may result in only a HIGH mark in severity if V3 values is not available.	CVSS severity is a qualitative assessment of the overall seriousness of a security vulnerability based on its CVSS Base Score. The severity levels range from "RECOMMENDATION" to "CRITICAL" . These levels help to quickly understand the potential risk posed by a vulnerability and prioritize the response efforts accordingly. However, organizations should also consider their specific context when assessing and addressing vulnerabilities. The CVSS Severity is a coalesced value on the different CVSS versions (currently version 2 and 3) with the higher version taking priority.
CVSS v2 base score	HIGH 7.0-10.0 MEDIUM 4.0-6.9 LOW 0.0-3.9 RECOMMENDATION	The CVSS v2 Base Score is a numerical value that quantifies the intrinsic severity of a security vulnerability. It is calculated based on various metrics like how the vulnerability can be exploited, based on Access Complexity (AC), Authentication (AU) requirements, and the potential Confidentiality Impact (C), Integrity (I), and Availability Impact (AI). The score ranges from 0.0 (LOW severity) to 10.0 (HIGH severity).
CVSS v2 environmental score	HIGH 7.0-10.0 MEDIUM 4.0-6.9 LOW 0.0-3.9	CVSS v2 Environmental Score represents the characteristics of a vulnerability that are relevant and unique to a particular environment. It takes into account factors such as the importance of Confidentiality Requirement (CR), Integrity Requirement (IR), and Availability Requirement (AR) for the affected asset, as well as adjustments based on an organization's security controls and configurations.
CVSS v2 score	HIGH 7.0-10.0 MEDIUM 4.0-6.9 LOW 0.0-3.9 RECOMMENDATION	The CVSS v2 score is a numerical value used to assess the severity of a security vulnerability. It consists of three main components Base Score which quantifies the vulnerability's intrinsic severity ranging from 0.0 to 10.0. Temporal Score (optional) that considers temporal factors like exploitability, patch availability, and report confidence to assess the current risk associated with the vulnerability. Environmental Score (optional) component that allows organizations to customize the score based on their specific environment, considering factors like asset importance and security controls.
CVSS v2 severity	HIGH 7.0-10.0 MEDIUM 4.0-6.9 LOW 0.0-3.9 RECOMMENDATION	CVSS v2 severity is a qualitative assessment of the overall seriousness of a security vulnerability. It categorizes vulnerabilities into levels like Low, Medium, High, or Critical to provide a quick understanding of the risk they pose. The Base Score quantifies the intrinsic severity of the vulnerability based on various metrics such as
CVSS v2 temporal score	HIGH 7.0-10.0 MEDIUM 4.0-6.9 LOW 0.0-3.9	CVSS v2 Temporal Score represents the characteristics of a vulnerability that change over time but not among user environments. These characteristics include the likelihood of Exploitation (E), the availability of fixes or workarounds Remediation Level (RL), and the Report Confidence (RC) level in the vulnerability report. The Temporal Score is used to understand the real-world impact and urgency of addressing a vulnerability at a given time.
CVSS v2 vector		The CVSS v2 vector is a textual representation used to describe the key characteristics of a security vulnerability. It consists of metrics and values that assess factors like how the vulnerability can be accessed, its complexity, authentication requirements, and the potential impact on data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This vector string is used to calculate the CVSS v2 Base Score, which quantifies the vulnerability's intrinsic severity, and it serves as a standardized way to communicate detailed information about the vulnerability's attributes.
CVSS v3 base score	CRITICAL - 9.0-10.0 HIGH - 7.0-8.9 MEDIUM - 4.0-6.9 LOW - 0.1-3.9 RECOMMENDATION - 0 UNKNOWN	The CVSS v3 Base Score represents the intrinsic severity of a security vulnerability. It is determined by assessing metrics such as  Attack Vector (AV), Attack Complexity (AC), Privileges Required (PR), User Interaction (Ui), Scope (S), and impact on Confidentiality (C), Integrity (I), and Availability (A). The Base Score does not consider specific environment or mitigating factors. CVSS v3 combines these metrics to calculate the Base Score, which provides a standardized way to understand the severity of a vulnerability. The score is then used to prioritize their vulnerability management efforts.
CVSS v3 environmental score	CRITICAL - 9.0-10.0 HIGH - 7.0-8.9 MEDIUM - 4.0-6.9 LOW - 0.1-3.9 RECOMMENDATION - 0 UNKNOWN	The CVSS v3 Environmental Score is bases of an organization's specific circumstances when assessing the severity of a vulnerability. The Environmental Score considers factors like confidentiality, integrity, and availability requirements, as well as an organization's security controls and configurations. It provides a customized risk assessment for a vulnerability within a specific organizational context, helping to prioritize response efforts accordingly.
CVSS v3 score	CRITICAL - 9.0-10.0 HIGH - 7.0-8.9 MEDIUM - 4.0-6.9 LOW - 0.1-3.9 RECOMMENDATION - 0 UNKNOWN	The CVSS v3 score is a numerical value that quantifies the severity of a security vulnerability. It consists of three main components: the Base Score (intrinsic severity), the Temporal Score (current risk), the Environmental Score (customized based on an organization's environment). The Base Score ranges from 0.0 to 10.0 and is determined by assessing various metrics.
CVSS v3 severity	CRITICAL - 9.0-10.0 HIGH - 7.0-8.9 MEDIUM - 4.0-6.9 LOW - 0.1-3.9 RECOMMENDATION - 0	CVSS v3 severity is a qualitative assessment of the overall seriousness of a security vulnerability based on its CVSS Base Score. The severity levels range from "RECOMMENDATION" to "CRITICAL" . These levels help to quickly understand the potential risk posed by a vulnerability and prioritize the response efforts accordingly. However, organizations should also consider their specific context when assessing and addressing vulnerabilities.
CVSS v3 temporal score	CRITICAL - 9.0-10.0 HIGH - 7.0-8.9 MEDIUM - 4.0-6.9 LOW - 0.1-3.9 RECOMMENDATION - 0	The CVSS v3 Temporal Score is used to assess the current risk of a security vulnerability. It considers factors like the likelihood of Exploitability (E), Remediation Level (RL), and Report Confidence (RC) . By adjusting the Base Score with these temporal factors, organizations can better understand the urgency and real-world impact of a vulnerability, helping to prioritize response efforts effectively.
CVSS v3 vector		The CVSS v3 vector is a text-based representation that encodes key details about a security vulnerability. It includes fields for Base metrics, Temporal metrics , and Environmental metrics. These metrics describe attributes like how the vulnerability can be accessed, its exploitability, the availability of fixes, and more. The CVSS v3 vector is used to calculate the CVSS scores

3. The options available to choose from are similar to generating a report for Assets, beside Vulnerabilities being the only available type of report.
   

   

   
   

Reports use View Templates to filter the reports by predefined templates. The built-in SWAT template is pre-selected and filters out fixed findings by default.

4. Continue with the same steps as in a normal Report.
   For more information, see Reports.
   

Note that the user who requests the Asset Groups report may only see vulnerabilities and summaries to which they have access privilege. For example, a main user sees everything, but a sub-user with limited privilege will only see reports about the assets that they can access in the asset group.

If all assets or asset groups related to a scheduled report configuration are deleted, the scheduled report configuration will be automatically removed.
