Click the delete icon (

) next to any operating system identity to remove the identity from the 

Operating System Identity Information pop-up window and, if applicable, to update the current identity

FireSIGHT

You can set the current operating system identity for a host using the FireSIGHT System web interface. 
Setting the identity through the web interface overrides all other identity sources so that identity is used 
for vulnerability assessment and impact correlation. However, note that if the system detects a 
conflicting operating system identity for the host after you edit the operating system, an operating 
system conflict occurs.

Both operating systems are then considered current until you resolve the conflict. For more information,
