How detections are reported

available on the vulnerability scanning portal.
When audit scans discover vulnerabilities, you receive an email alert (if you have configured this
option) directing you to visit the portal. There you can view scan results, detailed patch
recommendations applicable to your specific system configuration, historical audit data, and printable
audit reports.
