Task Hiding Settings

About Task Hiding Settings

Task hiding settings are a feature that allows tasks to be hidden. By effectively using hiding, tasks and vulnerabilities can be managed efficiently.

Types of Hiding

Task Hide Dialog

The following types of hiding are available:

Always Hide

Hides tasks always. The setting of hiding continues until it is manually released.

It is used for those that have been found vulnerable but will not be addressed in the future or cannot be addressed.

Until a Specified Date

Hides tasks until a specified date.

When the specified date has passed, task hiding is released.

Until an Update Patch, Mitigation, or Workaround Is Available

It is used when no effective countermeasures such as patches or mitigation measures have been provided yet.

After scanning, if an update patch or mitigation measure or workaround is found, the hide setting will be released.

For tasks for which patches have already been provided, this option cannot be selected.

Until the Vector or Score Changes

It is used in cases where the score is low and there are currently no plans to address the issue.

When there is a change in the vector or score after scanning, the hide setting will be released.

Until an Attack Code Is Found

It is used in cases where the current risk of attack is low and there are no plans to address it.

After scanning, if a new attack code is found, the hide setting will be released.

For tasks for which attack code has already been provided, this option cannot be selected.

Until the SSVC Priority Increases

It is used when the SSVC priority is low and there are no plans to address it.

After scanning, if the SSVC priority increases, the hide setting will be released.

Method of hiding tasks

Hide individual tasks

To hide a specific task, go to the task details and click on the Hide flag in the upper right corner.

Hiding a task in task details

In the vulnerability list, you can select multiple vulnerabilities and hide all related tasks at once by selecting Hide related tasks.

In the software list, you can select multiple software and hide all related tasks at once by selecting Hide related tasks.

Setting management targets

By setting a software as a management target, you can automatically create new tasks in the state of Always hidden.

If there is software that cannot be uninstalled even if vulnerabilities are found and you do not want to respond, you can set it as a non-management target and hide it at all times.

Setting management targets

Displaying hidden tasks

By selecting All in the task list, you can display tasks that have been hidden or tasks that have already become PATCH_APPLIED.
