Locate Aqua CWPP vulnerabilities in the Vulcan Platform
As Aqua CWPP discovers vulnerabilities, the Vulcan Platform connector imports those vulnerabilities for reporting and action. You can view vulnerabilities via Connector by using the relevant filter:
Open the Vulcan Platform dashboard and navigate to the Vulnerabilities. Click on the Search or filter vulnerabilities search box, scroll to the Vulnerability Source option, and click to filter by the vulnerability source.
Locate Aqua CWPP on the vulnerability source/Connector list and click to filter results.
Click on any vulnerability to view further information.
Note: If you observe a miss alignment in the vulnerabilities count between Vulcan and Aqua, the reason is the way Aqua displays vulnerabilities.
While Aqua counts and displays a listing for each vulnerability existing in different locations under the same library, the Vulcan platform displays it as a single connection between the asset and the vulnerability.
Locate Aqua CWPP assets in the Vulcan Platform
To locate all synced hosts, images, and cloud resource assets from Aqua CWPP.
Open the Vulcan Cyber dashboard and navigate to Assets > Hosts / Cloud Resources / Images tabs.
Click on the Search or filter websites input box and select Connector from the drop-down selection.
Locate the Aqua CWPP option to view all synced assets.
