The Top Vulnerable Items widget highlights the vendors or platforms in your environment with the highest number of known vulnerabilities. Each entry displays a horizontal bar segmented by severity—ranging from low to critical—allowing you to quickly assess which products contribute most to your organization's vulnerability footprint. The total count for each item is also shown, giving you a sense of scale and helping you identify which vendors require immediate attention.
You can use this widget to focus your remediation and vendor management efforts. For example, if Microsoft accounts for the largest share of vulnerabilities—especially in the medium to critical range—it signals that your patching or configuration processes for Microsoft products may need to be strengthened. The color-coded severity breakdown helps you distinguish between high-volume but low-risk issues versus fewer, more dangerous ones that demand urgent action.
This widget supports prioritization at the vendor level, making it easier to coordinate bulk remediation across product lines and teams. It also helps in tracking the effectiveness of vendor-specific strategies, such as whether updates are being applied consistently or whether certain platforms remain persistently vulnerable. Use it to target your efforts where they will have the greatest impact on reducing risk across the environment.
