Hosts

Note: this section is only applicable to Software Risk Manager users with the InfraSec add-on.

When Software Risk Manager ingests Network Security results, the location of those results is typically expressed in terms of a "host," with the level of detail varying from tool to tool. The Hosts page is Software Risk Manager's location for interacting with host data directly, outside the context of Findings or Projects. Users will be able to access the Hosts page but the Associated Projects column will only populate for projects they belong to. Only the Software Risk Manager user with admin privileges will be able to create, edit, update, or delete host information.

Click the Hosts icon in the navigation bar to open the Host Scopes page.

  • FQDN
  • Hostname
  • NetBIOS Name
  • IP Address
