What type of assets can be managed in the ServiceNow Vulnerability Response module?

The Vulnerability Response module in ServiceNow is designed to manage various types of configuration items (CIs) that are essential in an organization's IT landscape. Configuration Items encompass a broad range of assets, including servers, applications, network devices, physical hardware, virtual machines, and even software components. This flexibility allows organizations to have a comprehensive view of their vulnerabilities across all types of assets that could potentially be exploited.

By focusing on configuration items, the module integrates seamlessly with other IT service management processes, enabling better tracking, management, and response to vulnerabilities. This holistic approach ensures that all relevant assets are considered when assessing and mitigating vulnerabilities, rather than limiting the scope to a narrow category of assets, such as only virtual machines, physical hardware, or third-party software. Managing configuration items allows for a more effective and thorough response to potential security threats across the entire IT infrastructure.
