• Visualize connections between threats and assets.
• Track vulnerability resolution status, and time to resolution.
• Set and track SLA and compliance.
• Identify internet-exposed assets for comprehensive risk score calculation.

Get Started with Exposures

• Security Findings - The Security Findings asset type, representing CVEs and other vulnerabilities in the context of specific assets.
• Aggregated Security Findings - Axonius' consolidated view of all the vulnerabilities in your organization from all sources.
• Risk Score - Axonius' dedicated mechanism for calculating an asset's risk score in a customized way.
• Vulnerability Enrichment - Axonius uses a variety of resources to collect information on reported CVEs and enrich Exposures assets. Axonius' enrichment methods also include Axonius Threat Intelligence, where you can see additional enriched data such as exploit timelines, references, affected CPEs, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, targeted industries/countries, and related threat activity.
• Axonius Static Analysis - Axonius uses a unique methodology to calculate the CPEs of installed software reported by adapters, and uses that data to identify all CVEs associated with it.
• Exception Management - Axonius' centralized page where you send requests to accept the risk of certain vulnerabilities, and admins can review and manage all Exceptions.
• SLA Management - Axonius' unique mechanism to assign remediation timelines based on asset attributes and query logic instead of static severities.
• Remediation Ownership - Axoinus' ownership rules that map findings to the specific security teams responsible for handling them, enabling automated remediation orchestration.
• Recommended Actions - Axonius' recommendations for turning complex Security Findings and scattered vulnerabilities into a prioritized to-do list of solutions.
• Asset Criticality Management - Axonius' asset classifications based on business context, ownership and other factors.
• External Exposures - A key tool developed by Axonius for monitoring your network to check whether its components are exposed to the public internet.
