Prioritize vulnerabilities, internet-exposed assets, misconfigurations, and security initiatives from a single action-driven experience with the new dashboard experience.
Cut Through the Noise and Focus on What Matters Most
Security teams face a constant challenge: too many findings, too many dashboards, and not enough clarity on where to act first.
Organizations today are managing vulnerabilities, internet-facing assets, misconfigurations, code weaknesses, exposed secrets and more across an increasingly complex environment. While each signal is valuable on its own, security teams often spend significant time switching between tools and reports to determine where risk is concentrated and what actions will have the greatest impact.
Today, we're excited to announce the public preview of the redesigned Exposure Management dashboard, helping analysts to quickly identify the risks that matter most, act with confidence, and follow a clear path toward zero critical issues.
From Visibility to Action
Exposure management is most effective when it helps security teams move beyond visibility and into remediation. Every insight is designed to support decision-making and accelerate remediation.
The redesigned dashboard consolidates critical signals across:
- Validated internet-exposed assets
- Business critical assets
- Vulnerabilities
- Security misconfigurations
The dashboard prioritizes findings based on risk and directly connects them to remediation workflows. Security analysts can immediately understand:
- Where exposure is highest
- Which risks require immediate attention
- What actions will reduce risk fastest
Resolve Risk Faster with Resolve Now
At the center of the new experience is Resolve Now, a focused set of prioritized recommendations designed to help reduce exposure on internet-exposed and business-critical assets. Resolve Now organizes work into three action categories, with items within each category prioritized based on the remediation approach:
- Patch: Identify software updates that address known vulnerabilities, with prioritization based on exploitability and internet exposure.
- Mitigate: Address risks that cannot be immediately patched, including zero-day vulnerabilities, through compensating controls and mitigation guidance.
- Fix: Reduce attack surface risk by addressing security misconfigurations and code weaknesses, particularly those affecting internet-exposed cloud assets.
This approach helps teams focus on meaningful risk reduction instead of chasing long lists of findings.
Understand Your External Attack Surface
Internet-exposed assets remain one of the most common paths attackers use to gain access to environments. The new dashboard provides a consolidated view of internet-facing resources across:
- Cloud assets
- Devices
- Shadow resources
Security teams can quickly understand where exposure exists across the environment and prioritize remediation efforts based on risk.
Measure Progress Across Critical Security Domains
Exposure management isn't only about fixing today's risks. It's also about driving continuous improvement. The redesigned dashboard introduces visibility into security initiatives across five key domains:
- Code
- Endpoint
- Cloud
- Identity
- SaaS apps
Domain initiative scores help organizations measure progress toward target security outcomes, identify gaps, and track improvements over time. Teams gain a clearer path toward reducing organizational exposure by combining tactical remediation with strategic posture improvement,
