System Center Guide

Currently, IT management must identify and assess vulnerabilities across many disparate hardware and software platforms. They need to prioritize these vulnerabilities and remediate those that pose the greatest
risk. But when there are so many to fix, with each being scored using different scales, how can IT managers convert this mountain of vulnerability data into actionable information? The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an open framework that addresses this issue by providing an open framework for communicating the characteristics and impacts of IT vulnerabilities. This scoring system helps IT professionals to prioritize their security vulnerability efforts.

The Complete Guide to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System Version 2.0 is designed to help you better understand the CVSS and how the metric groups are compiled and scoring are calculated.
