Generating a PSIRT Summary Report
Cisco’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is a dedicated, global team that manages the
receipt, investigation, and public reporting of security vulnerability-related information, related to Cisco
products and networks.
For evey security vulnerability, a PSIRT document is created with a PSIRT Document ID. This document
consists of the definition of the vulnerabilities, the IOS image version that is affect by the PSIRT as well
as the device that is impacted.
RME provides for the fetching and collection of these PSIRT information from Cisco.com at regular
intervals.
See Cisco.com Fetch Interval for more information on setting or changing the frequency of retrieval of
PSIRT information from Cisco.com.
You can generate a PSIRT Summary Report based on the PSIRT information retrived from Cisco.com at
regular intervals. This report helps you in ascertaining the security vulnerabilities that affect the devices
in your network.
It provides a summary of the possible security alerts based on the selected devices. It also recommends
upgrade to the IOS image version which has the fix for the security vulnerability.
To generate the report, see Generating Inventory Reports.
The generated PSIRT Report shows:
• Count of the Total number of Devices selected for report generation.
• Count of devices with vulnerability
• Last Cisco.com Fetch Date

–
PSIRT ID
