Explore Exceptions for resources

Exceptions exclude a resource from being assessed by a specific Insight. Use Exceptions for compliant resources that do not require further evaluation. You can view and manage all created Exceptions on the Exceptions page, which is divided into two tabs:

• Exceptions: lists Exceptions created with Insights, Misconfigurations, or Bots
• IaC Exceptions: lists Exceptions created for IaC scanning

Prerequisites

Before exploring your Exceptions, make sure you have:
