Recommendation by application
Use the Recommendation by application dashboard in Risk Monitor to get upgrade recommendations for the applications in your IT estate.
Description
The table Recommended upgrade by application contains all upgradable applications in your IT estate. For each application, the table gives a recommendation on the version to which the application should be upgraded to remove as many vulnerabilities as possible. It also shows the number of vulnerabilities that will be removed if the application is upgraded to the recommended version.
When you select a row in Recommended upgrade by application, the table Vulnerabilities removed by upgrade will list all vulnerabilities that will be removed from your IT estate if the application in the selected row is upgraded to the recommended version.
You can filter the data to focus on a specific subset of the applications in your organization. All key figures and tables will adjust to show the results filtered by the selected parameter. Use the filters to focus on, for example:
-
The recommended upgrade for a specific application.
-
Recommended upgrades for all applications within a specific department in the organization.
-
Recommended upgrades for the applications on a specific device.
-
Recommended upgrades for all vulnerabilities within a certain base score range.
