# Labeling the Vulnerabilities

|                       |           |              |             |             |
| --------------------- | --------- | ------------ | ----------- | ----------- |

USM Anywhere includes a set of labels that you can use to classify your vulnerabilities, to track the status of the vulnerabilities, and to search vulnerabilities using them as a filter. See [Searching Vulnerabilities](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/vulnerability-assessment/searching-vuln) for more information on how to search vulnerabilities.

You can't edit or delete the set of default labels:

* In Progress
* Closed
* Open
* <Tooltip tip="A condition that is flagged as a vulnerability or weakness that is not actually a concern. This may be caused by other mitigating conditions (such as additional security technology) or inefficient tuning of detection technology.">false positives</Tooltip>

USM Anywhere enables you to create, edit, and delete your own labels. You can apply a label to one or more vulnerabilities. You can also apply multiple labels to the same <Tooltip tip="A known issue or weakness in a system, procedure, internal control, software package, or hardware that could be used to compromise security.">vulnerability</Tooltip>.

**To label a vulnerability from the vulnerabilities main page**

1. Go to **Environment > Vulnerabilities**.
2. Search for the vulnerability or vulnerabilities to which you want to apply a label. See [Searching Vulnerabilities](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/vulnerability-assessment/searching-vuln) for more information.
3. Do one of these options:

   * Click the <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levelblue-5324744e/9HhQ6wK11ydctaHc/images/usm-anywhere/tag.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=9HhQ6wK11ydctaHc&q=85&s=6f97988ce6b10f17d15799a3f0ed6c49" className="inline" width="20" height="20" data-path="images/usm-anywhere/tag.svg" /> icon in the labels column of the vulnerability you want to label, select the label, and click **Apply**.
