Review discovered assets

The dashboard is the visual intelligence hub of External Attack Surface Management (EASM). It aggregates and displays key insights from EASM scans and timeline-based comparisons, providing both real-time and historical views of your organization's complete digital footprint, overall cyber hygiene posture, risk exposure, and attack surface insights.

The dashboard presents visual, contextual, and interactive data, making it a powerful decision-making tool for executives and security analysts.
