Security breach is a very common scenario these days as a consequence of weak security configuration. For this, a proper Security Posture dashboard design is not just nice-to-have but very important for the organizations. Because your dashboard should not be yet another problem to solve, it should be solving problems for you.
The right dashboard not just show metrics, it also highlight patterns to help take corrective decisions and actions when every second counts.
IBM Storage Insights is one such comprehensive AIOps platform that helps you meet your compliance and audit goals with its Security Posture dashboard. It helps identify and address vulnerabilities before they impact your storage infrastructure.
What does Security Posture dashboard do and why it matters?
Security Posture dashboard offers a visual interface that pulls together critical compliance status of all your connected devices and presents it at one place. It's like having a security guard who never sleeps and can watch every corner of your digital property simultaneously.
IBM Storage Insights Security Posture dashboard not just provides an aggregated compliance view of all supported systems but also provides individual device level compliance view for detailed information of the security parameters on which the device is compliant or non-compliant.
A combination of NIST 800-209 standard and IBM product specific guidelines are referred while defining standards for various parameters.

Key components of effective security monitoring
IBM Storage Insights Security Posture dashboard has following features:
- Compliance status: At-a-glance view of compliance status of all the connected devices
- Asset inventory: Visibility into all devices of your environment
- Graph display: Graphs to display compliance based on product category and based on the security categories, such as authentication and data access control, physical storage security, audit logging, etc.
How dashboards enhance compliance status visibility?
The greatest security tools in the world are useless if threats go unnoticed. Dashboards solve this by making the invisible visible.
Good security dashboards use visual elements strategically. In IBM Storage Insights Security Posture dashboard, the compliance summary is displayed using color codes, red for least compliant, orange for low compliant, yellow for moderate compliant, and green for high compliant device. Also, the Compliance by products graph displays the compliance overview of different type of products at a glance.
These visuals trigger our brain's pattern recognition abilities, helping us spot anomalies faster than scanning through text logs.
Conclusion
IBM Storage Insights Security Posture dashboard is a one-stop solution for tracking the compliance status of all your connected devices to help take timely actions.
