“Port Details” View Explained

This window displays all the details about a specific port, such as issues, technologies, discovery method and path, and connected assets.

Go to the Ports window by clicking Ports from the vertical menu on the left. Click a particular port under the column Asset Name to see the details.

What Is in the “Port Details” View?

When you open the Port Details window, you will immediately see an overview of the port's main properties. These include:

• Port's name
• If the port asset is vulnerable or healthy
• The number of times it was scanned
• When it was last and first seen
• Its root asset
• The discovery method and path used to detect it
• The severity distribution of associated vulnerabilities
• Its associated server and corresponding OS, device type, and other technical information
• Tags, if the asset was tagged

More details about some of these port properties can be accessed in their respective tabs.

Users can also perform certain actions on the Port Details window, including updating tags and comments and setting the port as false positive. They can also copy the link to the specific port for easy sharing with colleagues.
