**DefectDojo Pro** provides enhanced Risk Acceptance capabilities that allow you to manage risk decisions at scale:

* **Cross-Product Risk Acceptances**: In DefectDojo Pro, you can apply a single Risk Acceptance across multiple Products. For example, if CVE-2024-1234 appears in 10 different products, you can create one Risk Acceptance that governs all instances of that CVE across your entire portfolio.
