Managing Actions

4min

What is an Action?

Actions are generated as a result of a scan, and can be viewed in list or Kanban format on the Actions page in the scan results. Hexiosec ASM will group risks together based on the resolution required and the domain or IP address the risks are against.

There is a blog post which goes into a bit more detail, take a look at How to simplify your cyber risk management with actions.

How is an action resolved?

Fix/remediate

When a fix or remediation has been successfully applied, if the risk is no longer detected at the next scan then the action will be automatically updated to resolved. This gives you confirmation that the fixes or other remediation activities you have taken have been succesful.

Ignoring a risk

If you don't want a risk to be reported, you can select the risk to be ignored in the current scan results and in future scans. This will automatically remove it from the actions list, see Managing Risks.

Only users with the Admin or Editor role can ignore risks and CDNs

Identifying CDNs

Domains hosted on Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) or other cloud hosting services, will use shared IPs addresses managed by a third party.

Hexiosec ASM will still identify risks associated with CDNs or shared IP addresses. However, the application provides you with the capability to manage how these risks and assets related to these IPs are displayed in Hexiosec ASM, see Managing CDNs and Shared IPs.
