Findings overview metrics

Use the Findings overview section of the dashboard to monitor metrics related to open findings in your account. The findings overview metrics are refreshed whenever a scan is run and are calculated based on all open findings.

Open and critical findings

The Open and critical findings panel displays the total number of open findings and the total number of open critical findings across your account. The percentage next to the absolute number indicates the change in the metric from the previous week.

You can choose the number of findings to be redirected to the findings page and view your open findings.

Monitor the number of open and critical findings in your account periodically to track the security posture of your code.

Severity distribution

The Severity distribution panel is a graphical representation of the distribution of the severity of all open findings. The severity of a finding can be one of five categories: Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational. For information on how severity is calculated and how severity levels are defined, see Finding severity.

Check the severity distribution of your findings to monitor how severe the vulnerabilities in your code are.

Vulnerability assessment

The Vulnerability assessment panel displays the top four vulnerabilities that are found across all open findings. This metric is calculated on a weekly basis.

Use the vulnerability assessment metric to monitor the most common security issues in your code, if they are being remediated, and if certain vulnerabilities become more or less common.

Scans with most findings and most critical findings

The Scans with most findings panel lists the top three scans that have generated the most findings and how many open findings each scan has. You can choose View all scans to see a list of all scans in your account.

The Scans with most critical findings panel lists the top three scans that have generated the most critical findings and how many open critical findings each scan has. You can choose View all critical findings to see a list of all open critical findings in your account.

Use these metrics to track which code scans have the most open findings to target the areas of your application that are most unsecure.
