Remediate Risk
Remediation Hub offers a list of prioritized updates called solutions that are focused on reducing vulnerability risk. This list makes the Remediation Hub the first place you should check to drive risk reduction across your hybrid environments.
Access Remediation Hub
Remediation Hub is accessible from the Insight Platform. To view the Remediation Hub, you must have the following permissions:
| Solution | Required Permission |
|---|---|
| Insight Platform | Administrator (Shared) |
| InsightVM | Global Administrator |
| InsightCloudSec | Domain Admin, Domain Viewer, or Organization Admin |
Vulnerabilities data requires InsightVM and InsightCloudSec
Vulnerability data originates from InsightVM and InsightCloudSec. For setup instructions, visit the InsightVM Quick Start Guide and the InsightCloudSec Cloud Vulnerability Management home page.
Understand Remediation Hub
Remediation Hub contains three main sections:
- Emergent Threats (if available)
- Key Metrics
- Solutions
Emergent threats
Rapid7’s security research team actively monitors and researches emergent threats. Emergent Threat Response delivers fast expert analysis and first-rate security content for the highest priority security threats to help you understand your exposures and act quickly to protect your assets from exploitation. When there is an active emergent threat, Remediation Hub notifies users with a callout banner at the top of the page that Rapid7 teams are responding. This callout initially provides a link to a blog post that is constantly being updated. As more becomes known about the vulnerability and content is created in various Rapid7 solutions, the Remediation Hub shows customers the CVE numbers and the impact on assets across their environment. Emergent threats are shown for 14 days. If there is no current emergent threat, the banner will not be displayed.
Key metrics
The following key metrics are displayed at the top of the Remediation Hub:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Risk | Normalized, aggregate score (from 0 to 1000) representing the risk of all vulnerabilities and assets across your cloud and on-prem environments. |
| Cloud Risk | Score (from 0 to 1000) representing the risk of cloud accounts and assets with vulnerabilities present. The counts shown are based on total accounts and assets with vulnerabilities present. This score comes directly from InsightCloudSec. |
| On-Prem Risk | Score (from 0 to 1000) representing the risk of sites and assets with vulnerabilities present. The counts shown are based on total sites and assets with vulnerabilities present. This score comes directly from InsightVM. |
Solutions
All risks are paired with a solution (also known as a remediation). Solutions are sorted by highest risk score reduction by default. Each solution in the table includes the following:
- Type (on-prem or cloud)
- A short description of the solution
- The amount that the risk score is reduced by implementing the provided solution
- For more information on how risk is calculated, visit How is Risk Calculated?
- The number of assets, images, CVEs, and findings that are associated with the risk
You can apply filters to reduce the scope of solutions and assets returned and export solution details from the Remediation Hub.
Explore solutions
Click a solution from the table to open a panel containing details on the total number of impacted assets and vulnerabilities as well as a description of the solution. Depending on the type of asset, available details may differ:
Cloud asset details
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Asset Name | The name of the asset and its type. |
| Resource ID | Unique ID for the asset. |
| Resource Type | The type of resource. For example, Instance, ECS Task Definition, or ReplicaSet. |
| Image ID | Unique ID associated with the asset (if applicable). |
| OS Platform | Operating system the asset uses. For example, Linux, Windows, MacOS. |
| Region | The zone and location the asset is located in. For example, eu-central-2, us-east-2. |
| Cloud Account | The cloud service provider (CSP) user account the asset is associated with. |
| Tags | Tags associated with the asset as imported from the CSP. |
| Actions | Options to view the asset in InsightCloudSec. |
On-prem asset details
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Asset Name | The name of the asset and its type. |
| IP Address | Unique network ID assigned to the asset. |
| Site | Physical location where the asset is assigned. |
| OS Platform | Operating system the asset uses. For example, Linux, Windows, MacOS. |
| Location | The zone and location the asset is located in. For example, eu-central-2, us-east-2. |
| Owner | The owner of the asset. |
| Custom | Custom tags associated with the asset. |
| Actions | Options to view the asset in InsightVM. |
Vulnerabilities details
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Vulnerability Name | The name of the vulnerability. |
| Severity | The CVSS severity. |
| Risk | The active risk score of the vulnerability. |
| Assets | Number of assets affected by the vulnerability across your environment. The number of assets will be higher than the solution as some assets are affected by other vulnerabilities. |
| Actions | Options to view the asset in InsightCloudSec or InsightVM. |
