Hosts 1

The hosts report answers the question, what hosts pose the greatest risk to my environment? By default, the main page of the hosts report shows the top 100 hosts that carry the most risk in your environment. This can be filtered down to your liking (as described in the previous section) and clicking on any of the host items in the report will bring you to the detail page for that host.

Filtering

Host, patch, vulnerability, and vulnerability instance reprots all have robust filtering options. To learn more about filtering see the Filtering Section of the help documentation.

Exporting

Any report can be exported as an Excel spreadsheet or PDF. For more information on exporting, see the Exporting Section of the help documentation.

Detail View

Detail pages in general are discussed in the common elements section, but a host detail page has some unique sections and elements that are discussed below:

1. The Summary Panel: the summary panel gives you a broad and high-level overview of what DeepSurface knows about a particular host. Starting at the top, the summary panel tells you:

2. Risk Factors: On the "Risk and Remediation" tab (open by default), there is a section unique to a hosts detail page. To help users better understand the factors that contribute to assigning a risk rating and reduction score to a host, DeepSurface provides a breakdown of contributing factors. Contributing factors could include:

To learn more about any of these contributing factors, click on the link provided and do a deep-dive into every element presented.

3. Vulnerabilities and patches: A list of all vulnerabilities present (both with and without patches) and all missing patches for a given host can also be found on the "Risk and Remediation" tab. If there are more than 200 present of any of these categories, you can follow the link to take to the corresponding report, filtered by this host:

4. DeepSurface scanning tab: The hosts detail page includes a tab that is unique to only this report. The "DeepSurface Scanning" tab gives you an insight into the information and status that DeepSurface received from the most recent scan of this host. The status of the most recent scan, as well as any pertinant logs will be displayed here as well. If a host was only reported by a third party vulnerability source, but not scanned by DeepSurface in any way, then a message and status alerting you to that will be displayed instead.
