The New Workspace Dashboard (v2023.1.C)

The workspace dashboard offers visual snapshots of various statuses for the collection(s) it contains, including TIC scores and criticality levels.

NOTE: If a workspace is new and doesn't contain collections, there will not be data shown on the various dashboard sections.

Let's examine what information each dashboard section provides:

Overall Risk Score

This section provides an overall TIC or risk score for all the collections that exist in the workspace.

The example above shows an overall score of 86 for all the collections in the Acme LTD Workspace. Similarly, your collections will also get a combined TIC score.


โ€‹TIC History shows activity in the past seven days. This graph can help you visualize the daily criticality level for all combined workspace collections.

You can also click See All Collections to get access to a complete list of all workspace collections.

Critical and Elevated Collections

This section will display the collections in your workspace that are elevated and most critical, as well as their corresponding TIC score. The horizontal bars may display the following colors:

Color

Level

Red

Critical

Orange

Elevated

Green

Low or normal

The graphic will also show how the criticality level has increased (e.g., Up 54.5%) or decreased (e.g., Down 2.9%) over the past seven days.

Collections Overview

The Collections Overview's donut graph offers a glimpse into which element types are most common in your collections. Element types include, ASNs, FQDNs, Owners (or Registrants), IPs, and CIDRs.

Associations by Risk Category

Associations by Risk Category will show the types of vulnerabilities or threats that are most prevalent in your collections and/or member elements. Some of these risks can include, vulnerable services, botnet infections, etc.

Pinned Collections

Pinned Collections section will display the top three collections in your workspace. Each set will include:

  • The name of your collection

  • The collection's overall Risk or TIC Score

  • New Risk Associations (threats or vulnerabilities) and corresponding TIC score

  • The TIC score for elevated elements in the collection

  • And, the date of discovery or system scan

To view view more details about the collection, click See Collection. To view all threats and vulnerabilities, click View All Associations.

To select which collections you want displayed under Pinned Collections whenever you log in, click Select Collections and make mark the checkbox. You can also look for the collection(s) in the search box. Click Reset to uncheck all boxes.
