Summary
Either your security team or the hacker(s) involved with the report can choose to provide an optional summary of the report. The team or hacker summary is the first thing you see when you dive into a report. It’s an optional field designed to set the tone or summarize the report. Particularly useful in disclosure scenarios, it can preamble the full report or serve as the only large-text content disclosed in limited disclosure situations. Including a summary helps future report viewers understand the context without scrolling through the entire report. Click Add summary to add a summary to the report.
Triage Summary
The Triage Summary is a specific section in the report where triagers offer a clear and brief overview of a vulnerability to the customer. This overview highlights how to investigate the issue and its potential impact.
Jira Integration
Customers utilizing the Jira Integration can easily connect the Triage Summary field to JIRA by mapping the integration variables {{triage_summary_jira}} or {{triage_summary}} to a matching JIRA field. Further details on integration variables are available here.
The Triage Summary feature is available exclusively to customers utilizing our triage services.
