# Suppression Rules

> Create and manage rules to automatically suppress non-actionable vulnerabilities and reduce noise.

## Overview

Suppression Rules allow you to automatically ignore or suppress vulnerabilities based on defined conditions.

This helps reduce false positives, eliminate noise, and focus only on actionable security issues.

This screen provides a centralized view of all suppression rules.

### Key Features

* **Search** — Find rules quickly
* **Filters** — Filter by severity or origin
* **Status Toggle** — Enable or disable rules instantly
* **Columns Control** — Customize visible fields

### Key Columns

* **Rule Name** — Name and description of the rule
* **Origin** — System-generated or manually created
* **Applies To** — Number of affected vulnerabilities
* **Status** — Active (ON) or Disabled (OFF)

</Frame>

Create rules to automatically suppress vulnerabilities based on conditions.

### Rule Configuration

* **Rule Name** — Unique identifier
* **Description** — Optional explanation

### 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.

## Manage Rules

<Frame caption="Edit or delete suppression rules from the actions menu">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/snapsec-23724fa2/AW6dtPm47QpefO36/images/vs/suppression-rules-3.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=AW6dtPm47QpefO36&q=85&s=7c0c36631e5cf4bfea805bbaf9e70505" width="1025" height="337" data-path="images/vs/suppression-rules-3.png" />
</Frame>

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

* Suppress **informational findings** that are not actionable
* 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
