Acknowledge vulnerabilities

You can acknowledge a vulnerability if you don't want to be notified about it anymore. For example, when a programmable logic controller (PLC) is detected as vulnerable but a firewall or a security module is placed before the PLC, then the vulnerability is mitigated. The user can cancel an acknowledgment at any time. Only the following user roles can access vulnerabilities acknowledgment/cancelation:

• Cyber Vision Admin
• Cyber Vision Auditor
• Cyber Vision Operator
• Cyber Vision User
