Information Sharing and Alerting by Topic

About Topics

In FutureVuls, there is a feature for sharing vulnerability information by group or organization called “Topics”. This is a feature for posting investigation results and danger levels of vulnerabilities, and sharing knowledge within an organization.

Topics can be displayed and created by selecting “Topics” after selecting a vulnerability from the vulnerability list.

Topics

Creating a Topic

Open the topic screen, enter a title and comment, and submit to create a topic.

You can also send emails to members of the target organization or group when creating a new topic. This can be used to alert members about dangerous vulnerabilities or to share response status with other groups.

Highlighting particularly dangerous vulnerabilities

When posting to the topic feature that allows vulnerability information to be shared on a per-vulnerability basis, you can specify “Danger”. Vulnerabilities specified as “Danger” are highlighted prominently in vulnerability lists and detailed display screens, making it easier for the company’s security department to alert essential vulnerabilities that require attention.
