# Dashboard

> Monitor your risk exposure and remediation performance

## Overview

The Dashboard provides a comprehensive, at-a-glance view of your organization's risk exposure. Visualize vulnerability trends, track remediation progress, and identify areas requiring immediate attention.

## Dashboard Components

### Remediation Performance

Monitor how effectively your team is addressing security issues:

* Average resolution time
* Success rates
* Automated vs. hybrid remediation performance
* SLA compliance rates
* Engineering time saved
* Average time to open a fix PR

### Vulnerabilities Summary

Get an instant overview of your security landscape:

* **Total Unresolved Vulnerabilities**: Current count of open security issues
* **Risk Score Breakdown**: Distribution across Critical, High, Medium, and Low risk score
* **SLA Violations**: Number of vulnerabilities exceeding SLA deadlines
* **Dismissed Vulnerabilities**: Number of vulnerabilities excluded from remediation by your [Remediation Policy](/settings/remediation-policy)

<Tip>
  Click on any risk score level in the summary card to quickly filter and view those specific vulnerabilities.
</Tip>

### Remediation Summary

Track your remediation efforts:

* **Active Remediations**: Currently in-progress fixes
* **Pending Remediations**: Fixes awaiting review or action
* **Priority Distribution**: Breakdown of remediations by priority level

<Tip>
  Click on remediation counts to navigate to filtered views of the Remediations page.
</Tip>

### Remediation Pipeline

An interactive Sankey chart visualizing the complete remediation workflow:

* **Vulnerability Sources**: Where vulnerabilities originate
* **Flow Paths**: Movement through different remediation stages
* **Status Progression**: How vulnerabilities are being resolved

**Interactive Features:**

* Hover over flows to see detailed numbers
* Click on specific paths to highlight the complete journey
* Understand bottlenecks and success patterns

### Vulnerabilities Timeline

Track vulnerability trends over time:

* Discovery patterns
* Resolution rates
* Accumulation trends
* Historical comparisons

Use this chart to:

* Identify seasonal patterns
* Measure improvement over time
* Predict future vulnerability loads

### Remediation Status

Current state of all remediation efforts:

* Completed remediations
* In-progress work
* Pending reviews
* Failed attempts requiring attention
