Learn about the views and widgets available on the Risk Overview tab in Executive Dashboard.
The Risk Overview tab in Executive Dashboard displays a high-level overview of your organization's current security posture. The
tab includes:
-
Risk Index: The Risk Index is the risk score for your organization derived from an assessment of a variety of risk categories and factors. The comprehensive index provides a high-level overview of the impact of risk events on a wide range of assets, including users, devices, applications, publicly accessible domains and IP addresses, and cloud-based assets. Taking remediation steps and implementing preventative measures in response to risk events lowers your organization's Risk Index over time. For in-depth information about how the Risk Index is calculated, see the More than a Number: Your Risk Score Explained white paper.
Note
-
The Risk Index is calculated using all data received from your organization without applying asset visibility scope limits.
-
The Risk Index automatically updates every four hours. Changes to the status of risk events are reflected in the Risk Index after up to one hour. You may also manually recalculate the Risk Index by clicking the Recalculate button. Manual recalculations take up to one hour to display.
-
Hover over the Risk Index graph to see the index for an individual day, including the point change from the previous day, how much each risk factor contributed to the change, and how many assets were involved in the daily index increase or decrease. Detailed daily increase and decrease information is only available when the daily change from the previous day is more than one point.
-
While hovering over the Risk Index graph, click to view details about the risk events from a particular day. To learn more, see Risk factors.
-
If you have assigned assets to asset groups in Asset Group Management, you may view the risk subindexes of your asset groups by clicking on the Risk Index number. To learn more, see Get started with risk subindexes.

Risk Event Overview: Click Risk Event Overview to see a list of risk factors, corresponding risk events, and impacted assets that contribute to your organization's Risk Index. Only the risk events and assets that most affect the Risk Index are included in the evaluation. To see the total points currently contributed by risk events within each risk factor, hover over the corresponding section of the radar chart.
Important
Because the Risk Index is rounded up to the nearest whole number, the point contributions from each risk factor may add up to less than the total Risk Index. -
