# Manage your risks

As your list of assets grows, the list of detected vulnerabilities is likely to grow as well. However, not all vulnerabilities are relevant or applicable to your environment.

By ignoring specific assets or vulnerabilities, you can remove irrelevant entries from your active list, helping you focus on more critical assets or vulnerabilities.

Common reasons for excluding entries include false positives, accepted risks, or vulnerabilities that do not impact your organization.

## Manage vulnerable assets

The **Vulnerable assets** page lets you view and manage all assets that have known vulnerabilities. You can ignore assets that are not relevant to your security posture, or restore previously ignored ones when they become relevant again.

### Ignore vulnerable assets

1. Go to **Risk insights** > **Vulnerable assets**.
2. Use the checkboxes in front of the assets to select those you want to exclude from the list.
3. Select **Ignore**. The pop-up shows the number of assets that will be ignored and how many vulnerabilities are affected.
4. Select the reason for excluding the selected assets.
5. Select **Ignore**.

### Restore vulnerable assets

1. Go to **Risk insights** > **Ignored assets**.
2. Use the checkboxes in front of the assets to select those you want to move back to the **Vulnerable assets** menu.
3. Select **Restore**. The pop-up shows the number of assets that are affected.
4. Select **Restore**.

              High confidence filter applied by default

              

By default, a filter is applied to all assets to only show those with a high confidence level. You can remove this filter to show entries with a low confidence level as well.

## Manage vulnerabilities

The **Active vulnerabilities** page lets you view and manage all detected vulnerabilities across your environment. You can ignore vulnerabilities that are not relevant to your security posture, or restore previously ignored ones when they become relevant again.

### Ignore vulnerabilities

1. Go to **Risk insights** > **Active vulnerabilities**.
2. Use the checkboxes in front of the vulnerabilities to select those you want to exclude from the list.
3. Select **Ignore**. The pop-up shows the number of vulnerabilities that will be ignored and how many assets are affected.
4. Select the reason for excluding the selected vulnerabilities.
5. Select **Apply**.

### Restore vulnerabilities

1. Go to **Risk insights** > **Ignored vulnerabilities**.
2. Use the checkboxes in front of the vulnerabilities to select those you want to move back to the **Active vulnerabilities** menu.
3. In the top bar, select **Restore**. The pop-up shows the number of vulnerabilities that will be restored and how many assets are affected.
4. Select **Restore**.
