Visualize Security Success with the Security Summary Dashboard
Contents
In the world of cybersecurity, success often goes unnoticed. When security solutions work perfectly, there's nothing to see — no data breaches, no security incidents — it’s just business as usual.
This poses a challenge: When threats are identified without causing downtime and cyberattacks are quietly neutralized, how do you assess the value of your security solution? When you can’t see the impact, how do you measure business value and return on investment (ROI)?
To answer this question, we're excited to announce our new Security Summary Dashboard for Secure Internet Access Enterprise customers: a powerful tool for transparent cybersecurity.
Get comprehensive cybersecurity visibility
The Security Summary Dashboard spotlights your organization's security posture, providing more visibility than ever before via a platform that’s easy to use. Through a combination of actionable metrics, threat intelligence, and detailed analytics, the dashboard shows security teams and business leaders exactly how Secure Internet Access Enterprise protects their sensitive data and which areas could benefit from additional security.
The dashboard includes several key features that provide more transparency into your information security, including:
- Risk score with actionable insights (Figure 1)
- Comprehensive threat intelligence coverage (Figure 2)
- Shadow IT detection
- Traffic analysis and deployment monitoring
