Dashboards and Tiles Panel

On the SecureX dashboard, the configured dashboards in the center panel contain Tiles that present metrics and data from the integrated modules to provide visibility across your security environment and accelerate threat response. SecureX ships with one default dashboard and you must add the tiles you want to see on it. You can add up to 20 dashboards to customize your view.

Use the Customize button to add, modify, and delete dashboards and the tiles that display on them, to share dashboards, and to reorder how the dashboards are displayed.

You can also click the Tile menu (ellipsis in the upper right corner of a tile) and choose Remove Tile from the drop-down menu to remove it from the currently selected dashboard. For more information, see Adding and Removing Dashboards and Configuring Tiles.

On the SecureX Demo dashboard, the tiles in the middle of the dashboard displays sample metrics and data. You can click on any data in a sample tile for more information on that product, including a link to enable the integration module and a link to access a free trial, if available.
