Abstract
The disclosed systems and methods provide a user interface for modifying host configuration data that has been automatically and passively determined and for adding or modifying other parameters associated with a host. A host data table can store various parameters descriptive of a host including the applicability of specific vulnerabilities. If it is determined that one or more hosts should not be identified as associated with a specific vulnerability, a graphical user interface can be used to modify the vulnerability parameter.
