Home Dashboard

The Manager View | Home > Dashboard > Settings page provides a visual status of the security infrastructure. You can review the Dashboard and see at a glance if any issues need investigating.

You can quickly see the summary of status of devices, traffic distribution, and  threats to know whether you have issues and where to focus to resolve them.
