Identity Security Assessment Dashboard
Cisco Identity Intelligence's Identity Security Assessment (ISA) rapidly delivers unmatched visibility across all identities within your organization. The ISA is designed to quickly identify identity risks across critical infrastructure and consolidate key areas of focus into an easy to consume export. The assessment leverages API-based integrations with selected providers from your identity stack to ensure there is no impact on production systems and requires no agent deployment.
The pre-defined ISA Dashboard information is incredibly useful as you begin your journey with Identity Intelligence, but also serves as a valuable point of reference to compare progress as you continue to leverage the platform and take action on the various insights presented.
To access this Dashboard, navigate to the Cisco Identity Intelligence dashboard and select the ISA Reports tab from the top navigation bar.
The ISA Reports Dashboard aggregates data from all the connected sources in your tenant and organizes it by focus area into 3 sections:
You can drill into the value in any of the counters and certain visualizations to see more details, such as the list of impacted users, by clicking into the item of interest. You can either use the default ISA Reports Dashboard or you can tailor it to your preferences.
IAM Hygiene
This section emphasizes the critical role of maintaining strong Identity and Access Management (IAM) practices to enhance your organization's identity security and proactively combat threats. This includes managing user access effectively, auditing permissions regularly, and removing dormant accounts to reduce security risks and prevent unauthorized access.
You can select values from certain
MFA Analysis
This section provides an overview of your organization's Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adoption and assesses the effectiveness of the MFA methods in use, based on the NIST guidelines. It offers a clear evaluation of the security strength of each authentication method, helping organizations understand the robustness and reliability of their MFA implementation, while also surfacing any gaps or areas to improve.
Threats Insights & Unusual Activity
This section of the dashboard centers on identifying suspicious activities associated with user trust levels. Each check can be explored in detail to review failure criteria, recommended remediation steps, affected users, and additional context. By associating these checks with user trust levels, this data provides meaningful insight into active security risks, and the related security gaps, enabling you to prioritize and focus your efforts effectively. This approach helps clarify where vulnerabilities exist and guides targeted actions to proactively enhance the organization's identity security.
Customize Your ISA Report
There are several ways that the ISA Report can be customized to meet your needs and highlight the data that is most relevant to your organization. Any customizations made will be respected within the PDF Report Export
Create Custom Counter Widgets
You can add a custom counter widget based on Saved Filters that you have created on the Users or Applications pages. Select the + Add counter button on the upper right corner of the page and select the saved filter you would like to add to the ISA Report Dashboard. The custom counter will be added to the bottom of the dashboard page and you can then move it to the desired location on the page.
Add or Remove Default Widgets
You can select or deselect from a library of default widgets (visualizations and counters) to customize the data that is shown within your ISA Report. You can add or remove default items by selecting the Configure button in the top right corner of the dashboard page.
You can also remove any widget by selecting the X in the right corner of any widget.
Annotate Widgets
All widgets in the ISA Dashboard support adding custom messages with relevant information. You can use this space to add recommendations, key takeaways, etc for the audience who will be reviewing the report.
To add a note to a widget, select the pencil icon in the upper right corner, enter your desired message, then select the Save icon. If you do not want to enter a message, but would like to return to the initial state, select the arrow icon where the pencil was previously to go back.
Rearrange Widgets
To reposition a widget or section header, click the six dots button located at the top right corner of each widget to drag and drop it to the desired location, allowing the dashboard to emphasize the most important or urgent information.
Resize Widgets
You can also make any widget bigger or smaller depending on your needs and preferences. Select the arrow button in the bottom right corner of any widget, then drag the corner until your widget reaches the desired size.
Exporting and Sharing
Like the other Dashboard tabs, the ISA Reports tab, and the data within it, can be easily exported or shared with others in your organization for further analysis, record keeping, or inclusion in a presentation.
The ISA Report Dashboard has 2 options to easily share the full report - Share and Download to PDF. The buttons to complete both of these actions are located on the upper right side of the page. Select the Share icon button found at the top right corner to copy a link to that exact page that can be easily pasted, bookmarked or shared with anyone who has the appropriate access to your Identity Intelligence tenant so that they can quickly get to the same page in the platform. Select the Download PDF Report button, which is slightly below the Share icon button, to generate a PDF export of the full dashboard, including any customizations or annotations, to share with other members of your organization who do not have access to the platform.
Additionally, all of the visualizations can be exported into a PNG, SVG, or CSV by selecting the hamburger icon (3 lines) in the top right corner of a widget. Downloading as a SVG or PNG will export an image, whereas downloading as a CSV will export the raw data for you in CSV format.
