Overview

The Remediation Radar provides a high-level view of remediation activity across the domains Backline supports in your environment. Each dot on the radar represents a remediation, allowing you to spot SLA risk, understand automation impact, and drill into details fast. Use it to:
  • Monitor remediation progress against SLAs
  • Identify patterns (bottlenecks, hot spots, recurring areas)
  • Understand the distribution of Automated vs Hybrid remediations
  • Explore and drill into specific remediations (details, PRs, timeline and more)

What You’ll See

Domain Sections

The radar is divided into sections—one per vulnerability type. The number of sections is dynamic, based on which domains exist for your tenant.
Section “real estate” expands or shrinks based on how many remediations appear in that domain.

SLA Rings (Urgency)

Remediations are positioned by time-to-SLA, with closer proximity to the center indicating higher urgency:
  • Outer ring: SLA due in more than 1 month
  • Ring 1: 1 month → 1 week
  • Ring 2: 1 week → today
  • Ring 3: Overdue (highlighted in red)
A red indicator marks remediations that are past due.

Nodes (Remediation Dots)

Each node encodes key signals at a glance: Color = Remediation Mode
  • Green: Automated (Autonomous)
  • Orange: Hybrid (human-in-the-loop)
Size = Number of Assigned Vulnerabilities
  • Small: up to 3
  • Medium: up to 10
  • Large: above 10
The Radar shows up to 250 nodes, sorted by SLA urgency, so the most time-sensitive work stays visible.

Radar Center

At the center, you’ll see a roll-up count of the vulnerabilities currently being addressed by in-progress remediation work.

What’s Included in the Radar

The radar shows only open remediations, so you can prioritize what needs attention now. It’s available in the Open and All views, and not in the Resolved view.

Interacting with the Radar

Click a Node → Preview

Clicking a node opens a quick preview with high-level remediation details, including:
  • Remediation title
  • Priority
  • Impact
  • Status
  • Number of vulnerabilities
  • SLA
  • Origin: the repository or asset
  • Links to the Jira ticket and pull request, when they exist

Click the Preview → Remediation Side Panel

Clicking See full details opens the remediation side panel with comprehensive information:
1
