Team and EnterpriseTrend Matrix Report
The Trend Matrix Report provides correlated, trending data about the status of those vulnerabilities identified in your web application across several scans and enables you to easily track changes in the web application.
Netsparker Enterprise automatically begins to collate the Trend Matrix Report when you run more than one scan on the same target web application.
The Trend Matrix Report provides:
- An overview of the evolving threats to your website, at a glance
- Detailed information on vulnerabilities, such as when it was found, when it was fixed, and whether the same vulnerability was found again in subsequents cans
- Scans listed in chronological order to make it easier for you to monitor the changes in your web application over time and track the progress and work of your developers
- Vulnerabilities grouped by severity, so that you can see mission-critical vulnerabilities immediately and begin to prioritize them
- The Trend Matrix Report addresses both technical and non-technical users, providing either a summary of the changing security status or access to detailed technical details of all vulnerabilities
In the Netsparker Standard edition, you can run this type of report manually (see Comparison Report).
Severity Filter
The Trend Matrix Report is interactive. Using the Severity Filter, you can select to view only critical or high severity issues, for example.
For more information, see Vulnerability Severity Levels.
Vulnerability Summary
This section provides a summary of information about each discovered vulnerable URL and categorizes them based on severity. For example, if Netsparker determines a vulnerability as Critical, it requires immediate attention.
This table lists and explains the columns in the Vulnerability Summary.
