Systems without patchable exploitable application vulnerabilities

Description

The percentage of systems that were active in the last 30 days that have resolved patchable, exploitable application vulnerabilities, providing critical insight into the organisation's ability to minimize exposure to "Quick Wins" threats by updating software 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 (patchable + exploitable + Applications).
