Summary Panel

In the above dashboard, you can see the high level overview of your applications and the overall summary of the risks and alerts.

The Application Compliance panel displays the security status of all the applications based on the validations that happen at each stage of the software supply chain. The status is determined based on several rule validations that happen at each stage of the software supply chain for an application. Each rule is assigned a score, and this scoring, collected at the service level and application level, determines whether the application is at Apocalypse Risk, High Risk, Low Risk or Medium Risk.

You can sort the details based on the risk level by clicking on the relevant risks and the applications having the selected risks are displayed below.

The Supply Chain Security Alerts panel displays the summary of security alerts at each stage of a supply chain. On clicking anywhere in this panel, it takes you to the supply chain security alerts details page. The panel displays the alerts notified at each stage of the software supply chain namely Source, Build, Artifact and Deploy.
