Episode 176: Dashboards and Visualization Tools (Domain 4)

A well-designed dashboard can turn complex security data into fast, actionable insight—and in this episode, we explore how visualization tools help analysts, engineers, and executives understand the health of their security environments at a glance. We discuss how dashboards consolidate metrics like open vulnerabilities, login anomalies, firewall events, and endpoint alerts into tiles, graphs, and timelines that make trends visible and priorities obvious.
