Classification groups automate classification of values of a table based on the classification rules defined in the group. The condition for each rule is evaluated in order, and the first matching rule is used.

The Vulnerability Response base system includes the following two classification groups, which classify discovered items and vulnerabilities respectively:
  • Discovered Items Classification
  • Vulnerability Entry Classification
Whenever vulnerabilities and discovered items are imported, the vulnerability classification rules in the respective groups get executed. Based on the conditions set in the rule, the records get classified to the relevant classification group. You can create, edit, delete or reapply these rules to an existing vulnerability.
Note:
  • For a selected table, there can only be one active classification group.
  • Once you create a group, you cannot delete it.
For more information, see Create and edit a classification rule, Apply a rule to an existing vulnerability, and Deactivate or delete a classification rule.
