Only most likely

This toggle lets you filter the view to show only the assets the match the criteria that you have set for likelihood threshold.

Likelihood threshold settings

Likelihood threshold is a value between 0.1 and 1.0 where 1.0 represents the maximum likelihood of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) to be present. Likelihood is the confidence of the software’s correct assignment of a Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) to the hardware of the monitored asset. The higher the likelihood, the higher the software’s confidence that the vulnerabilities assigned to an asset are in fact are relevant to that asset. Likelihood threshold is the minimum likelihood a vulnerability needs in order for it to be shown in this page when the Only most likely toggle is set to on. As a guideline, we suggest that you use:

  • 0.8 for a high level of confidence
  • 0.5 for a medium level of confidence
  • 0.3 for a low level of confidence
