Vanta now allows to ignore or pause vulnerabilities until a specified date. This is helpful if your company is choosing to hold off on remediating a vulnerability until a fix is available or to extend the due date due to an exception they raised with their auditor. 

• From the left-hand navigation panel, select Vulnerabilities 
• Findings by Vulnerability to view all vulnerabilities identified from monitored assets 
• Select the Vulnerabilities you would like to deactivate by clicking the checkbox icon
• Select Deactivate monitoring 

• Choose the date and time in which you would like the vulnerability to become active again and the reason for which you are temporarily ignoring the vulnerability 
• Select if you would like the vulnerability to be deactivated on every asset it has been found on, or by a specific asset
• Deactivate Indefinitely or Deactivate until a specific date by using the calendar picker
• Select a reason for deactivating the Vulnerability
• Select Deactivate

View all Deactivated Vulnerabilities 

• To view or edit ignore vulnerabilities, choose Deactiated vulnerabilities from the vulnerabilities page 

Please keep in mind that deactivating a vulnerability in Vanta does not deactivate the vulnerability in any integrated vulnerability scanner.
