Next Gen Platform: Introducing New Finite State Dashboards

Written by Kris Grzywa | Oct 26, 2023 2:49:54 PM

In the rapidly changing landscape of software supply chain management, you need the right tools to view, analyze, and act upon your data, which is exactly how we have modeled the new dashboards within the Finite State Next Generation Platform. Here's what you can expect:

Seamless Monitoring

At the core of our new dashboards is an emphasis on intuitive user experience. We understand that ease of use is crucial. From the moment you access the dashboard, every element, widget, and data visualization is structured to offer clarity, simplicity, and actionable insights. Our dashboards deliver actionable, at-a-glance metrics that communicate key information  about your portfolio's supply chain security posture. 

Artifact-Specific Risk Views

Get laser-like precision visibility with our dashboards’ detailed risk profiles for specific artifacts, allowing for a granular understanding of vulnerabilities and areas of concern. Instead of getting lost in an ocean of data, pinpoint your most vulnerable artifacts and understand their unique risk factors.

Dashboard Highlights

Clear and concise visuals help cut through the noise and communicate the key insights from vast amounts of software supply chain risk data. Our new dashboards are designed to communicate a more comprehensive overview at a glance. Here's a sneak peek into some of the standout features.

Understanding Artifact Risk

  • Artifact Risk: Get an immediate snapshot of the current risk status of your artifacts.
  • Highest Risk Artifacts: Prioritize and take faster action by knowing which artifacts pose the most significant threats or vulnerabilities.
  • Risk over Time: Observe trends and track how the risk associated with particular artifacts evolves, helping you measure the effectiveness of your risk management program, develop forecasts, and strategize.

Diving Into Findings

  • Findings by Severity Over Time: Monitor and identify trends and fluctuations in severity among your findings over time. Is there a pattern? Are certain vulnerabilities becoming more prominent?
  • Findings by Status Over Time: Understand the lifecycle of your findings, from discovery to resolution. Are there lingering vulnerabilities? What's being addressed efficiently?

Comprehensive Insights

  • Findings by Type: Break down vulnerabilities based on their nature. Whether it's code defects, configuration issues, or other concerns, know exactly what you're dealing with.
  • Findings by Status: A current snapshot of where each finding stands in your team’s workflow. Are they resolved, pending, or in progress?
  • Most Common CVEs and CWEs: Understand the most frequent Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) and Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) cropping up in your artifacts.
  • Finding & Exploit Intelligence: Equip yourself with the latest intelligence on vulnerabilities and potential exploits. Be informed, be prepared.

These dashboards bridge the gap between data overload and actionable insights, offering users a focused, in-depth look into their software supply chain's health.

Benefits of a Robust Dashboard 

By harnessing data-driven insights, organizations can now proactively manage and mitigate risks, averting potential crises before they escalate. 

Streamlined operations minimize manual oversight, championing automation for efficient monitoring, while the dashboards' design fosters enhanced collaboration, bridging communication gaps between teams with shared views and comprehensive reports. Benefits include:

  • Proactive Risk Management: Using data-driven insights to anticipate and mitigate risks before they escalate.
  • Streamlined Operations: Reducing manual checks and promoting automated, efficient monitoring.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitating better communication between teams with shared data views and reports.
