Faraday Release 5.7.0:

Streamlining Vulnerability Management Based on Your Feedback

At Faraday, we continuously listen to your feedback and work hard to improve our platform to better suit your needs. In this release, we’ve introduced some updates to our vulnerability management platform that will enhance your navigation experience and make organizing your vulnerability dashboard even easier. Let’s start!

Bulk Update feature for Custom Attributes.

Searchable Service Table for Better Visibility

Operating List Attributes: Simplify Searches with Comma-Separate Inputs.

Pipelines Improvements: Affected Asset-Based Job Creation

Affected Service added into Vulnerability’s detail view.

Plugins Updates

Bulk Update feature for Custom Attributes.

As you may already know, our platform allows you to create custom attributes for your vulnerabilities. Now we made it easier for you so you can edit and assign custom attributes in multiple vulnerabilities by right-clicking to select one, multiple, or all of them. This is especially useful for managing large volumes of vulnerabilities, helping you save time by applying changes in just a few clicks. For example, say you need to update the SLA expiration date for critical vulnerabilities across a workspace. With the bulk update feature, you can easily assign this custom attribute to all relevant vulnerabilities at once.

Searchable Services Table for Better Visibility

We’ve added a search bar to the services table, making it easier to find specific services. This enhancement allows you to quickly search and filter through the table, ensuring you can access and organize critical data with ease. Now you have full visibility of absolutely everything regarding your attack surface.

Operating List Attributes: Simplify Searches with Comma-Separated Inputs

To completely simplify your security work, we’ve introduced support for searching list attributes, such as tags, hostnames, and CVEs. You can now enter a comma-separated list to efficiently search for vulnerabilities linked to any Asset you provide. You can also utilize the “contains” operator or the new “is any of” operator in both Vulnerabilities and Assets search bars.

Pipelines improvement: Affected Asset-Based Job Creation

Automation is key to efficient vulnerability management. For those Faraday’s power users, this is a great advance. Setting up actions whenever new vulnerabilities are added to our platform allows you to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks. With our “Jobs” feature, you can rely on an effective system that handles the heavy lifting for you. With this update, you can now create jobs that target the assets impacted by vulnerabilities, rather than focusing solely on the vulnerabilities themselves. This job creation enhancement allows for a more focused and efficient approach to tackling issues across your environment.

Affected Service added into vulnerability’s details view

Now you can find more information about your vulnerabilities, with a new view that allows you to check the affected service for each vulnerability.
