Here’s a structured concept for a dashboard that gives a quick, high-level overview of the key cloud security areas; inventory, issues, security graph, policies, compliance, reports and projects. This is framed from a CNAPP / AINAPP perspective.
A basic understanding of our glossary, compliance frameworks, job roles and unified cloud security categories is required.
