View SLA Definition

You can view the service-level agreements (SLAs) defined for the different incidents.

Go to Configuration > SLA Definitions to view SLAs defined for different incidents created for vulnerabilities detected by Qualys VMDR.

The SLA definition is based on Asset Criticality, Vulnerability Severity, Threat Exposure, Qualys Real-Time Threat Indicators (RTIs), and CI mapping. The remediation timelines are automatically measured according to the SLA definition.

 The SLA values are recommended values. To update the SLAs, contact your ServiceNow representative. 

The SLA Definition page displays the conditions in which the SLA is triggered, paused, stopped, and reset.
