Ports

Ports are available on the Computer, Network Device, and Mobile Device entity types. Typically, ports are automatically imported into RiskVision by a vulnerability scanner, such as the Tenable Nessus Connector or the Qualys QualysGuard Connector. However, there may be times when you may want to manually modify port data.
