What are Company Problems?
In short, these are the vulnerabilities that the ConnectSecure scan agent(s) has discovered. Vulnerabilities are automatically categorized into Problem Groups to help us understand and communicate what type of vulnerabilities we are discovering.

Company Problems - Overview
This is your view of Problem Groups associated with Affected Assets for the selected company, including Suppressed Records.
Problems are the automatic groups discovered vulnerabilities will go into instead of just the traditional lists that include the CVE and severity. We are trying to make it easier to identify the type of vulnerabilities and group them for easier reporting and remediation.
Problem Groups
As part of the V4 release, we have designed a new screen that provides a fresh view of what we call 'Problem Groups.' With this new screen, the system will automatically classify your vulnerabilities into logical groups, making it easier for you to remediate them. It will also help you generate accurate reports catering to your specific needs. See the details below for the full listing.
Problem Group Categories:
All Vulnerabilities
Critical Vulnerabilities
High Severity Vulnerabilities
Medium Severity Vulnerabilities
Low Severity Vulnerabilities
SMB Vulnerabilities

Remote Login Vulnerabilities
CISA Notified Vulnerabilities
