Custom Dashboards

A space for you to quickly access the information you need.

You might have noticed a new option in the sidebar for a page we hope will become part of your daily routine. At ULTRA RED, we strive to deliver features that are thoughtfully designed with your needs in mind. While we do our best to anticipate those needs, no one understands them better than you. That’s why we’ve built something that’s not just useful but customizable.

What are Custom Dashboards

We’ve reviewed all the graphs, charts, and counters across the platform and selected the ones that we noticed are the most useful to you. These have been given a slight visual update and transformed into widgets that you can add to your custom dashboards. You can add them directly from their usual places on the platform via a new button that appears when hovering in the top-right corner.

Or, you can select them from the new Widgets Inventory overlay in the Custom Dashboards screen.

You can create up to 5 custom dashboards, and each dashboard can contain different or identical widgets—your choice.

What Can I Use the Custom Dashboards for

As of now, the Custom Dashboards feature can be used for various purposes, such as creating an Executive Summary dashboard, a Vulnerability Management dashboard, an Attack Surface Management dashboard, and more.

Executive Summary Dashboard

Using widgets like “Total Assets,” “Average Score,” and “Assigned Assets,” you can build a dashboard that provides high-level insights into your organization’s security posture. This could include key metrics like asset scores, vector priorities, average MTTR (Mean Time to Remediation), and priority distributions. Executives will be able to quickly see trends over time and gain an overall understanding of security risks.

Vulnerability Management Dashboard

With widgets like “Vulnerable Assets,” “Verified Vectors,” and “Vector Changes in the Past 90 Days,” you can keep a close eye on your organization’s vulnerability landscape. Additional widgets such as “Vector Priorities,” “Vector Changes,” and “Most Archived Vector Tags” can help track the lifecycle of vulnerabilities and highlight those that need immediate action.

Asset Surface Management Dashboard

For teams focused on asset discovery and management, you can create a dashboard with widgets like “Total Assets Counter,” “Most Common Open Ports,” and “Distribution of Asset Scores.” This setup provides a clear view of your entire asset landscape, helping you quickly identify unmanaged or vulnerable assets.

How to use the Custom Dashboards

Adding Widgets

Widgets can be added to a single dashboard or multiple dashboards at once. Keep in mind, that only one instance of each widget can exist in a dashboard.

Creating a Dashboard

You can create a new dashboard in two ways:

  • From the “Add to Dashboard” button on cards across the platform.
  • By clicking the plus icon next to the rightmost existing dashboard (similar to adding a browser tab).

Managing Dashboards

  • Rename: Hover next to the dashboard name and click the pencil icon to edit. To save the new name, click outside the edit field.
  • Delete: Hover next to the dashboard name and click the trash can icon to remove the dashboard.

Organizing Widgets

Widgets are added in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom layout. To rearrange them, simply drag and drop a widget on top of another one. The dropped-upon widget will shift to the right, and the dragged widget will take its place.
