Dismissing Exposures

Category: Exposures & Threats

If an exposure is not relevant or is a false positive, you can dismiss it.

Dismiss Reasons

• Already Fixed - You've resolved the issue outside of Malanta
• Not an Exposure - It's a false positive (the detected issue isn't actually a vulnerability)
• Ignore (Will Not Fix) - You've accepted the risk and chosen not to remediate
• Other - A custom reason you can describe

Dismiss Scope

When dismissing, you can choose to dismiss:

• From the current scope only - The exposure may still appear in other scopes
• Globally - If "Already Fixed" is selected, it applies everywhere

Where Do Dismissed Exposures Go?

Dismissed exposures are hidden from the main Exposures view but remain in audit logs for compliance and record-keeping purposes.
