All Medium, High and Critical CI/CD pipeline findings detected in an organization's environment are categorized by Cortex Cloud as CI/CD risk issues. This approach allows for targeted remediation efforts. Only manual fixes are available for CI/CD pipeline risk issues.

The CI/CD Risks Issues table is a filtered instance of the broader Issues table found under Cases & Issues, meaning it exclusively displays issues categorized as CI/CD risks. However, the CI/CD Risks Issues table only displays issues generated from findings detected during periodic scans. In contrast, the comprehensive Issues table includes all CI/CD risks issues, regardless of their detection source, such as periodic, pull request (PR), and continuous integration (CI) scans.
