Security posture

Offense and high-severity counts in a time window, log-source and platform problems, the alert timeline, the noisiest rules and the latest alerts.

Security posture brings together figures from Offenses, the log-source catalog, Platform health and Investigations. It calls no model and is available in every edition. The page refreshes every 30 seconds; select Pause refresh in the upper-right corner to stop it. The window can be 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, and defaults to 24 hours.
