Matching Conditions

Define when a vulnerability should be suppressed:
  • Select a field (e.g., severity)
  • Choose an operator (equals, contains, etc.)
  • Set a value (e.g., high, medium)
You can combine multiple conditions to create precise suppression logic.

​

Each rule includes management actions:
  • Edit Rule — Modify conditions or metadata
  • Delete Rule — Remove rule permanently
  • Toggle Status — Enable or disable rule instantly
This allows full control over suppression behavior.

​
Use Cases

  • Ignore vulnerabilities in test or staging environments
  • Exclude known accepted risks
  • Reduce noise from repeated low-impact issues

​
Why This Matters

  • Reduces alert fatigue
  • Eliminates false positives
  • Improves signal-to-noise ratio
  • Enables focused remediation
  • Supports scalable security operations
