Priorities
The Priorities module enables users to access an advanced view that provides valuable insights into their security efforts. This module is crucial for effectively managing findings and assets by offering a collaborative platform that empowers team members to work together and address security challenges efficiently. Additionally, users can customize security measures to meet the unique requirements of individual clients or business groups.
Users access the module by clicking Priorities in the application's main menu.
It is recommended to read the admin settings documentation before using priorities. More detailed instructions regarding the impact of tenant-level vs. client-level settings can be found in the Licensing section, while information on equations can be found in the Automations section.
