Getting Started with Unified View
Purpose
This document describes how to get started with the Outpost24 Unified View interface.
Introduction
The Unified View is a way to centralize the data from all of our scanner such as Netsec, Appsec, and Cloudsec in to one view and also providing a powerful tool to drill down in the data to help identify vulnerabilities in key systems.
Prerequisites
To view the results in Outpost24 Unified View, the user needs an exclusive license for Unified View along with Netsec, Farsight and/or Appsec licenses.

AppStaks Tab
AppStaks is groupings of Assets in a way that makes business sense. AppStaks are grouped in to four categories Enterprise, E-commerce, Finance, Accounting, and Uncategorized.
For more information, see Unified View AppStaks document.
Assets Tab
Assets are unique hosts provided by the scanners or added automatically while creating a configuration. An asset can also be linked to a group of configurations. One asset can have multiple configurations that are scheduled and scanned independently.
These assets are uniquely defined based on their IP or hostname. Their risk profile in form of top recommended solutions and risk charting provide a quick way of assessing the criticality of an asset, its association with other assets and already performed scans.
For more information, see Unified View Assets document.
Notifications
On the top right corner of the home view, you find the Notification icon, which lets you access the Notification view where any notices from the AppStaks, Assets, or Findings are displayed.

All AppStaks Menu
To access the All AppStaks, select the AppStaks tab in the top menu then click three dots on the bar separating the dashboard from the left side menu. In the All AppStaks menu you find a list of categorized AppStaks grouped . Each of the categorized AppStaks can be expanded to list the containing AppStak. Selecting a specific AppStak gives us a view of that specific finding.
When drilling down in the AppStak tree, the dashboard are constantly changed to filter the finding down to the specific AppStak giving you a good overview of the findings attached to the specific AppStak. The colored dots gives you an indication on the risk for each AppStak as it follows the Overall Risk assessment.
