Vulnerabilities Section
The Vulnerabilities section provides a comprehensive view of your security landscape through several key widgets. The Noise Reduction widget helps you distinguish between active threats and resolved issues by displaying both open and remediated vulnerabilities side by side.
Complementing this, the Vulnerability Overview widget tracks the lifecycle of vulnerabilities, revealing patterns in how issues are discovered and resolved over time.
For immediate attention to critical issues, the Open Critical and High Risk Vulnerabilities widget presents a curated list of your most pressing security concerns.
The Vulnerability Analysis widget rounds out this section by providing a detailed timeline view that breaks down vulnerabilities by severity, allowing you to identify trends and patterns in your security posture over time.
Assets Section
Understanding your asset landscape is crucial for effective security management. The External Attack Surface widget provides a geographic visualization of your assets, helping you understand their physical distribution and potential risk exposure across different regions.
The Asset Counts widget offers a clear breakdown of your inventory by type while the Assets Over Time widget visualizes how your asset portfolio has evolved, making it easy to track growth and changes in your infrastructure.
Remediation Section
Effective remediation is key to maintaining strong security, and this section provides deep insights into your team's performance. The Remediated Vulnerabilities Over Time widget shows your progress in addressing security issues, with a detailed breakdown by severity level.
To help you gauge efficiency, the Average Remediation Time widget displays the mean time taken to address vulnerabilities of different severity levels.
The Median Remediation Time widget provides an alternative perspective on remediation speed, often offering a more representative view of typical resolution times by filtering out extreme outliers.
