Systems without vulnerabilities in 48 hours - exploitable or critical and high

Description

The percentage of systems that have been active in the last 30 days and that have resolved exploitable or critical and high vulnerabilities published in the last 48 hours, providing critical insight into the organisation's ability to minimize exposure to known threats and effectively reduce the attack surface.

How we measure it

Find all active hosts per your vulnerability management system. Join the hosts with the vulnerability database, and filter the vulnerabilities on the criteria as defined in the metric definition.
