How does Vulcan determine that a Tenable.io WAS Vulnerability has been fixed?

Tenable.io WAS only reports information on an asset-vulnerability if it is actively present and vulnerable on a specific asset. Because of this, the remediation status of a vulnerability is determined by its presence in the sync data; meaning that Vulcan recognizes a vulnerability as fixed only when the Tenable.io WAS connector syncs and the new data does not contain the specific asset-vulnerability.
