Recommendation by device
Use the Recommendation by device dashboard in Risk Monitor to get upgrade recommendations for the devices in your IT estate.
Description
The table Recommended upgrade by device contains all devices with 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. If you sort the table by the Vulnerabilities removed column, you will see what application upgrade will remove the largest number of vulnerabilities from a particular device.
When you select a row in Recommended upgrade by device, the table Vulnerabilities removed by upgrade will list all vulnerabilities that will be removed from the device in the selected row if the application is upgraded to the recommended version.
You can filter the data to focus on a specific subset of the devices 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:
-
All devices with a specific application installed and the recommended upgrade for that application.
-
Recommended upgrades for all devices within a specific department in the organization.
-
Recommended upgrades for the applications on a specific device.
