I went to https://pentest-tools.com/home online penetration testing tools website and launched Nikto web server vulnerability scan against my web server. The following alert was generated. Only one alert was generated for the Nikto web server vulnerability scan. *Is it too few?*
ummm... ANY alert is too many! unless one is using policy rules to track and enforce corporate network usage policy... ideally, there will be no alerts because there are no defects and no attacks... as for the alert you posted, do you use coldfusion? do you have the admin interface accessible from the outside of your network? if you do not use coldfusion or have it installed on your network, you should disable that rule... -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval.
