Systems without non-patchable exploitable application vulnerabilities

Description

The percentage of systems that were active in the last 30 days that have addressed non-patchable, exploitable application vulnerabilities, providing critical insight into the organisation's "Isolation Protocol" capability to contain or remove vulnerable applications.

How we measure it

Find all active hosts per your vulnerability management system. Join the hosts with the vulnerability database, and filter the vulnerabilities on the criteria as defined in the metric definition (non-patchable + exploitable + Applications).
