- **Attack surface summary**: this dashboard summarizes the key observations derived from your inventory. It provides a high-level overview of your Attack Surface and the asset types that comprise it, and surfaces potential vulnerabilities by severity (high, medium, low). This dashboard also provides key context on the infrastructure that comprises your Attack Surface. This context includes insight into cloud hosting, sensitive services, SSL certificate and domain expiry, and IP reputation.

- **Security posture**: this dashboard helps organizations understand the maturity and complexity of their security program based on the metadata derived from assets in your Approved inventory. It is comprised of technical and nontechnical policies, processes and controls that mitigate risk of external threats. This dashboard provides insight on CVE exposure, domain administration and configuration, hosting and networking, open ports, and SSL certificate configuration.

Your attack surface is constantly changing, which is why Defender EASM continuously analyzes and updates your inventory to ensure accuracy. Assets are frequently added and removed from inventory, so it's important to track these changes to understand your attack surface and identify key trends. The inventory changes dashboard provides an overview of these changes, displaying the "added" and "removed" counts for each asset type. You can filter the dashboard by two date ranges: either the last 7 or 30 days.

The "Changes by date" section provides more granular context on how your attack surface has changed on a daily basis. This section categorizes removals as "removed by user" or "removed by system." While a user removal requires manual action, system removals occur when Defender EASM has determined that an asset is either no longer live or no longer owned by your organization. Assets are elible for pruning if they have not been observed in a scan for 30-60 days, depending on the asset type. Assets that are manually added to inventory are not eligible for removal. From the "Changes by date" section, you can click on any listed value to see a full list of the assets that were added or removed.

The Attack Surface summary dashboard is designed to provide a high-level summary of the composition of your Attack Surface, surfacing the key observations that should be addressed to improve your security posture. This dashboard identifies and prioritizes risks within an organization's assets by High, Medium, and Low severity and enables users to drill down into each section, accessing the list of impacted assets. Additionally, the dashboard reveals key details about your Attack Surface composition, cloud infrastructure, sensitive services, SSL and domain expiry timelines, and IP reputation.
