Upon selecting the Windows dashboard, the top bar presents key information such as the number of reporting servers, endpoints, Domain Controllers, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDIs) – indicating the distribution of monitored assets. Additionally, the top bar showcases metrics regarding users validated through GYTPOL's Policy Validation module and the count of missing devices. Further explanation about these metrics can be found in the Customization and Settings > Health Screen section.

Drill downs

...

For every device listed, a further drill-down option is available. Activating this drill-down leads you to specific findings associated with that particular device. This in-depth exploration provides granular insights into the security and configuration status of the chosen device.

Image RemovedImage Added

Selecting any of the misconfiguration scopes, such as Servers or Endpoints, triggers the opening of the misconfiguration page, where all pertinent alerts relevant to that specific scope are presented. These alerts are systematically categorized according to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, enhancing their organization and clarity. Each alert possesses the capability to be further expanded, revealing the list of devices implicated in that misconfiguration.

...

For a comprehensive guide on navigating the Misconfigurations and Alerts section effectively, refer to the detailed instructions provided in the corresponding documentation.

...

  • Red (High): Represents high-severity misconfigurations that require immediate attention due to their critical impact on security.

  • Orange (Medium): Indicates medium-severity misconfigurations that should be addressed promptly to mitigate potential risks.

  • Yellow (Low): Denotes low-severity misconfigurations that may not pose an immediate threat but should still be resolved to enhance overall security posture.

  • Green (Complied): Signifies items that are in compliance and meet the expected security standards, resulting in no alerts generated.

...

In GYTPOL, alerts are visually differentiated by the presence of a spanner icon, which conveys specific information about the remediation process:

  • Green Spanner: Alerts accompanied by a green spanner icon indicate that you can swiftly remediate the finding using the GYTPOL user interface. This streamlined process enables you to fix the identified misconfiguration in a matter of seconds. For more detailed guidance on the remediation process, refer to the provided resources.

  • Gray Spanner: If an alert is associated with a gray spanner icon, it signifies that the finding cannot be remediated through the user interface due to certain limitations or conditions. These limitations could include factors such as unsupported PowerShell versions or informational nature of the alert. This may also indicate that the item fully complied with GYTPOL standards or was already fixed.
