Automated Scanning Appliance

Provide a short description of how and where your capability is made available to your customers and the public (required):
CVE competability is found throughout the system in several places:
- The report generated provides a mapping for each vulnerability with the corrisponding CAN/CVE(s)
- The user can search the vulnerability test database to specific CVE and will be provided with the appropriate test, and vise versa.
Describe how and where your capability indicates the most recent CVE version used to create or update its mappings (required):
Beyond Security's research team updates the vulnerability database from various sources, with reference to the CVE mechanism. We update at least once per month with CVE to the newest version via the CVE web site.
Indicate how often you plan on updating the mappings to reflect new CVE versions and describe your approach to keeping reasonably current with CVE versions when mapping them to your repository (recommended):
Each time a new version is released, all new entries are added to our database. Old candidates are removed.
Describe how and where you explain to your customers the timeframe they should expect an update of your capability's mappings to reflect a newly released CVE version (recommended):
The Automated Scanning machines are updated automatically from our web site 3 times a day. The CVE mapping is done as a part of these updates.
Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes CVE and CVE compatibility for your customers (required):
Documentation for the CVE compatibility can be found at: http://www.beyondsecurity.com/CVE.htm
Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes the specific details of how your customers can use CVE names to find the individual security elements within your capability's repository (required):
Documentation for the CVE compatibility can be found at:
http://www.beyondsecurity.com/CVE.htm
Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes the process a user would follow to find the CVE names associated with individual security elements within your capability's repository (required):
Every test has a 'CVE' field specified wherever it appears in the report or in the database.
If your documentation includes an index, provide a copy of the items and resources that you have listed under "CVE" in your index. Alternately, provide directions to where these "CVE" items are posted on your web site (recommended):
The automated Scanning GUI include a vulnerability index. The index is searchable and fully documented.
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain how you indicate that candidates are not accepted CVE entries (required):
This explanation appears along with the CVE description documentation.
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how the difference between candidates and entries is explained to your customers (recommended):
This explanation appears along with the CVE description documentation.
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain your policy for changing candidates into entries within your capability and describe where and how this is communicated to your customers (recommended):
Whenever CVE decides to change the status of a CAN to CVE the status changes in the test reference.
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's ability to look for candidates and entries by using just the YYYY-NNNN portion of the CVE names (recommended):
Search by YYYY-NNNN is available by searching CVE/CAN.
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's support for retrieving the CVE entry for a candidate that is no longer a candidate (recommended):
The user can find reference in the CVE documentation page: http://www.beyondsecurity.com/CVE.htm
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how you tell your users how up-to-date your candidate information is (recommended):
Candidates and CVE version are part of the documentation explaining CVE.
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a user can locate tasks in the tool by looking for their associated CVE name (required):
The user can look at each test being run in the profile, looking at its CVE/CAN number.
Give detailed examples and explanations of how, for reports that identify individual security elements, the tool allows the user to determine the associated CVE names for the individual security elements in the report (required):
Each test has a CVE field, which states the CVE/CAN associated with it.
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a user can obtain a listing of all of the CVE names that are associated with the tool's tasks (recommended):
The list is available via the tests database, in the 'test list' feature.
Describe the steps and format that a user would use to select a set of tasks by providing a file with a list of CVE names (recommended):
The user will click Build new scanning profile -> add tests from list -> for each CVE in the user's list, the user should search for the CVE. After finding the corresponding test, the user should add the test to the new profile created.
Describe the steps that a user would follow to browse, select, and deselect a set of tasks for the tool by using individual CVE names (recommended):
All these options are available via the Scanning Profile interface.
Provide details about the different electronic document formats that you provide and describe how they can be searched for specific CVE-related text (required):
We support HTML, PDF and CSV outputs - all three formats are searchable and thus the user can simply search for a specific CVE or CAN in the report.
If one of the capability's standard electronic documents only lists security elements by their short names or titles provide example documents that demonstrate how the associated CVE names are listed for each individual security element (required):
N/A. All document types contain security descriptions and CVE numbers.
Provide example documents that demonstrate the mapping from the capability's individual elements to the respective CVE name(s) (recommended):
Whenever the vulnerability's name and summary appears, the applicable CVE number appears below the description (if one exists for this vulnerability).
Give detailed examples and explanations of how the GUI provides a "find" or "search" function for the user to identify your capability's elements by looking for their associated CVE name(s) (required):
The GUI is web based, the user can use CTRL+F to open a search box and search for the vulnerability's name and CVE number. Both vulnerability name and CVE number appear in the vulnerabilities list.
Briefly describe how the associated CVE names are listed for the individual security elements or discuss how the user can use the mapping between CVE entries and the capability's elements, also describe the format of the mapping (required):
The vulnerability name appears together with the CVE number, and thus the mapping between the name and CVE number are clear and evident.
Provide details about the different electronic document formats that you provide for exporting or accessing CVE-related data and describe how they can be searched for specific CVE-related text (recommended):
The output formats are HTML, PDF and CSV. In all three document types the vulnerabilities that are present appear along with the CVE numbers.
Have an authorized individual sign and date the following Compatibility Statement (required):
"As an authorized representative of my organization I agree that we will abide by all of the mandatory CVE Compatibility Requirements as well as all of the additional mandatory CVE Compatibility Requirements that are appropriate for our specific type of capability."
