    Summary of Sample Queries for the Retrieve Vulnerability Response Data Agentic Workflow

    The Retrieve Vulnerability Response data agentic workflow assists users in querying vulnerability data through natural language prompts. This feature is particularly useful for IT Remediation owners and vulnerability analysts to effectively manage and respond to vulnerabilities within their systems.

    Key Features

    • The AI agent allows users to enter queries in natural language, dynamically suggesting relevant questions based on user roles.
    • For Application Vulnerability Response findings, users can substitute application vulnerable items (AVITs) in their queries.
    • Users are encouraged to provide detailed prompts to enhance the AI agent's response accuracy, especially regarding numeric fields like Risk rating or Risk score.
    • Conversation context is maintained, allowing users to build upon previous queries without restarting the conversation.

    Key Outcomes

    By utilizing the AI agent, users can effectively retrieve relevant vulnerability data based on their specific needs. Here are some sample queries tailored for different roles:

    For IT Remediation Owners:

    • Show all open VITs with a remediation target within the next 7 days.
    • Show all open critical VITs that are internet-facing and assigned to me.
    • Show all open VITs currently assigned to me.
    • Show deferred VITs assigned to me that will expire in the next 30 days.

    For Vulnerability Analysts or Admins:

    • Show all open VITs with active exploits in the wild.
    • Show open critical VITs with a remediation target within 7 days.
    • Show all open VITs that are internet-facing.
    • Show deferred VITs expiring in 7 days.
    • Show all currently unassigned VITs.

    These queries help users swiftly access critical vulnerability information, facilitating timely remediation and enhanced security management.

    The following sample prompts might help you become familiar with the Retrieve Vulnerability Response data agentic workflow.

    Notes on queries and prompts

    You can enter prompts or queries in natural language. Based on your role, suggestion questions or prompts for a topic are also provided dynamically by the AI agent.

    For Application Vulnerability Response findings, substitute application vulnerable items (AVITs) for (VITs) in your queries.

    • This AI agent is designed to help you answer query-related questions about data for Vulnerability Response and Application Vulnerability Response findings.
    • Prompts that involve any sort of data analysis of the vulnerability data that might match your questions are not supported by this AI agent.
    • The AI agent searches for the vulnerability data that matches your question, retrieves it, and creates responses for you based on the data available.
    • You might prefer to provide as much detail as you can for your questions to help the AI agent.

      For example, as a remediation owner, if you ask the agent a general question such as, Retrieve all the vulnerable items with scores 5 or greater, the AI agent's response might be, No vulnerable items with scores 5 or greater were found. You may want to rephrase your question or adjust your criteria.

      On findings records, there are multiple fields that might be populated by numeric values such as Risk rating, Risk score, Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), and Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS). Given this request, the AI agent won't know which field you want unless you specify it or provide more details. You can help the AI agent by being specific and rephrasing your question to something like, Show me all the open VITs with Risk rating 1 - Critical.

    • As long as you do not close the conversation, the AI agent uses the context of the conversation for its next response. Select the plus icon (Icon that indicates you can start a new chat) to start a new chat.
    • Be sure to check the answers for accuracy.
