You can easily create reports including vulnerabilities based on their published date using dynamic search lists.
One common objective is to focus on vulnerabilities published within the last 30, 60 or 90 days. Another is to act upon vulnerabilities that are older than 90 days, because of the many exploits in the wild that leverage those vulnerabilities. You can run scan reports to meet these needs following these simple steps.
