Get Your First Risk Insight

Use Risk Insights in ETM to understand the risks across your environment and identify the assets, findings, and risk factors that contribute to your overall risk.

To get your first Risk Insight, complete the basic ETM configuration and allow ETM to collect, normalize, correlate, and enrich data from your connected sources.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

• Configured at least one data source to provide asset or finding data.
• Configured the required user roles and data access scope.
• Completed the initial data ingestion.
• Ensured that your environment contains assets with findings that can be evaluated for risk.
