Episode 175: Vulnerability Scan Data and Automated Reporting (Domain 4)


Listen Later

Vulnerability scan data is only useful when it’s collected, organized, and presented in a way that drives action—and this episode explains how automated reporting transforms raw scan results into operational intelligence. We begin by examining the structure of scan output: severity levels, CVSS scores, affected assets, and remediation recommendations. From there, we explore how automated reporting tools categorize and prioritize findings, filter out false positives, and group results by asset class, business unit, or compliance framework. These reports can be scheduled to provide regular snapshots to IT teams, security managers, and auditors, helping organizations track progress over time and demonstrate accountability. Automation ensures consistency and reduces the manual burden of data parsing, while integration with ticketing and patch management systems allows findings to flow directly into remediation workflows. The goal isn’t just to find vulnerabilities—it’s to get them fixed, and good reporting is what keeps that process moving.
