Vulnerability and Asset management (VAM) provides unified management of assets and vulnerability incident analysis using the

The IPDB (IP Database) stores IP address and network mapping information and is a separate component, not the primary backend that powers VAM's unified asset and vulnerability management.

Event Explorer is a user interface tool for querying and viewing event data, not the data store or engine behind VAM's asset and vulnerability management functions.

There is no standalone component called the VAM database; VAM's functionality is driven by the combination of the Asset and Vulnerability knowledge databases, not a single unified VAM-specific database.

VAM relies on two distinct knowledge databases - the Asset knowledge database, which stores information about network assets and their properties, and the Vulnerability knowledge database, which contains known vulnerability data - combining both to provide unified incident analysis and correlation.
