What Is The Edgescan CISO Report?

Version Number: v1.0.0

Published Date: 27 Aug 2026

____________________________________________________________________________

Vulnerability Totals & Quality
- Presents the total number of vulnerabilities identified across your estate, along with a true positive / false positive breakdown, so leadership can see how much of the workload represents genuine risk.
Time Saved Estimate
- Applies a standard per-vulnerability validation time estimate to show how much analyst time has been saved through Edgescan's automated detection and validation, expressed in hours and approximate FTE terms.
Opened & Closed Findings by Severity
- Breaks down vulnerabilities opened and closed over the reporting period by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low/Minimal), so trends in both new risk and remediation throughput are visible together.
Remediation Posture
- Shows the overall split between open, closed/remediated, and risk-accepted vulnerabilities, giving a single view of how much outstanding risk remains.
True Positives by Layer
- Splits confirmed findings between network-layer and web application/API-layer, useful for understanding where exposure is concentrated.
CISA-KEV Breakdown
- Identifies which open findings appear on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalogue, these represent the highest-priority remediation targets, since they have confirmed real-world exploitation.

Executive-Ready: Designed to be read by a CISO or board audience without needing to interpret raw scan data.
Outcome-Focused: Frames findings around remediation progress and time saved, not just raw vulnerability counts.
Known-Exploit Prioritization: Surfaces CISA-KEV matches so the highest-confidence risks aren't buried among lower-priority findings.
Trend Visibility: Opened-vs-closed breakdowns by severity make it easy to see whether posture is improving or degrading over time.

Board & Executive Reporting: Provide a clear, non-technical summary of security posture and programme effectiveness.
Programme Justification: Demonstrate the value of continuous testing and validation through the time-saved estimate.
Risk Triage: Use the CISA-KEV breakdown to focus immediate attention on vulnerabilities with confirmed real-world exploitation.
Quarterly/Board Reviews: Track remediation posture and severity trends period over period.

The CISO Report is an executive-level AI Insight that summarizes your organization's overall vulnerability posture in business-relevant terms, total findings, remediation progress, and exposure to known-exploited vulnerabilities.
