1.0 What’s New?

This is the first release of the Secure Configuration Manager Dashboard (Dashboard).

The Dashboard expands the reporting capability of Secure Configuration Manager. You can quickly determine how well each IT asset in your environment complies with Secure Configuration Manager policy templates. This high-level overview of your environment's compliance allows you to see the overall status and trends of security compliance at a single glance.

Based on your Secure Configuration Manager console user account permissions, you can remotely audit your enterprise security by reviewing your systems’ compliance or risk status. When a system is out of compliance with a policy template or has a high risk score, you can browse the data for that system to see which checks in the policy template failed on exactly which endpoints.

For information about the Dashboard, see the NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager Dashboard Guide.

2.0 System Requirements
