Scanning produces data; a vulnerability report turns that data into something people can act on. A raw scanner export may list thousands of findings with no indication of who owns them or which matter most, and teams that receive it tend to ignore it. CySA+ expects you to know what belongs in a useful vulnerability report and how to read one: affected hosts, risk scores, mitigation, recurrence and prioritization, plus trends over time.
