There are two tabs in the Security Incidents dashboard:

Key Security Indicators

The Key Security Indicators tab provides an overview of malware activity on your network. This includes the types of malware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), and exploits detected, the endpoints affected, and whether the malware executed successfully.

These tiles are available on the Key Security indicators tab:

Alerts Summary (Daily and Weekly)

The Alerts Summary tiles use arrows and percentages to show the variation in the number of detected incidents compared to the previous day (daily) and previous week (weekly).
