Reading the Dashboard¶
SaaS How to interpret the SentriKat dashboard and decide what to act on first.
Time: ~5 minutes
Dashboard Layout¶
The main dashboard has four areas:
- Priority Matrix (top) — your vulnerabilities grouped by urgency
- Trend Chart (middle) — how your vulnerability count changes over time
- Quick Stats (sidebar) — key numbers at a glance
- Recent Matches (bottom) — latest vulnerability discoveries
Priority Matrix¶
This is where you spend most of your time. Vulnerabilities are color-coded:
| Color | Priority | Criteria | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red | Critical | Known ransomware vector OR due within 7 days | Patch immediately |
| Orange | High | CVSS ≥ 9.0 OR due within 30 days | Patch this week |
| Yellow | Medium | CVSS ≥ 7.0 | Schedule patching |
| Green | Low | Other KEV entries | Plan during maintenance |
Start with Red
Always work top-down: red first, then orange. Most organizations have 0–3 critical items at any given time. If you have more, prioritize by due date.
Filtering¶
Use the filter bar at the top to narrow down:
- Organization — if you manage multiple orgs, select one
- Key Type — toggle between Server / Client / All
- Server mode shows only vulnerabilities on server infrastructure
- Client mode shows only workstation/laptop vulnerabilities
- This maps to the API key type you assigned during agent installation
- Date Range — focus on a specific period
- Status — show only Affected, or include Likely Resolved
Trend Chart¶
The trend chart answers: "Are we getting better or worse?"
- Declining line = you're patching faster than new vulnerabilities appear
- Flat line = steady state (new vulns ≈ patches applied)
- Rising line = falling behind on remediation
Hover over any point to see the exact count and date.
Quick Stats¶
The sidebar shows:
| Metric | What it means |
|---|---|
| Total Products | Number of unique software products across all agents |
| Active Vulnerabilities | Unresolved KEV matches |
| Agents | Number of reporting agents |
| Compliance | Percentage of KEV vulnerabilities patched within CISA deadlines |
