3.4 Configuring the CVE Subscription

With Patch Management you can view the patches that are published and identify if the devices in your zone are vulnerable or not. However, information about the vulnerabilities being addressed by the patch is not easily available. You have to either know the CVE Identifier or you have to check the patch details to identify the vulnerability being addressed by the patch. ZENworks provides an enhanced security view into the vulnerabilities on the devices by providing the capability to map Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) to the related patches in ZENworks. To use this capability you need to configure the CVE subscription.

You can access the Subscriptions page where you need to configure the CVE Subscription via one of the navigation options below:

  • Subscribe and Share in the navigation panel

  • Mitigating Vulnerabilities page when navigating to Security > Getting Started

For specific information about configuring the CVE Subscription, see Mitigating Vulnerabilities Using CVEs in the ZENworks - CVE Reference.
