Small changes can make a big difference when it comes to ease of use and productivity.
That’s why we’re excited to share a few graphic user interface capability modifications that we’re sure will delight our Cybersecurity Asset Management customers.
The first thing customers may notice is that things look slightly different. This is because we’re providing a more efficient and engaging look and feel to give customers greater functionality and control. The modifications make it easier to manage their asset environments.
Here’s what has changed!
Homepage: We’ve updated the homepage in the Axonius console for a cleaner look and feel. But it’s not just about looking pretty. The new design makes it simpler for customers to find and access the important controls that allow them to identify assets and related vulnerabilities, as well as manage their security state.
Left Sidebar: The sidebar icons for access to the modules were refreshed. Additionally, the user profile, account settings, and logout function were relocated to the bottom of the bar. By removing the visual distraction there, users view the data first.
Search: The search bar was moved to a more prominent location – along the very top of the page within the Axonius header, so it’s always globally available. Customers can intuitively find and use it more easily, from wherever they have navigated in the platform. Searchability is key to effective asset management, and now customers have a better way to search for and query throughout the platform.
Freeze Columns: We’ve made viewing data easier with the ability to freeze columns within lists, so users always have a point of reference while scrolling right to the extended data available there. For instance, freeze on the Asset Name column and scroll right to see connected devices, installed software, vulnerability data, or any other custom information you’ve added to your displayed data columns.
Although each new capability mentioned here may appear to be modest, together they add up to a more intuitive, effective, and easy-to-use interface for Axonius Cybersecurity Asset Management customers.
In fact, many of the changes originated as customer suggestions. That’s why we’re especially pleased to implement them. It’s part of our ongoing effort to make continual upgrades, and add visual clarity, that enhances the intuitive nature of the Axonius Cybersecurity Asset Management platform, and improves the user experience.
"Culture is the foundation for any high-performing team. We all process information differently, we listen differently. We come from different backgrounds and experiences. No matter who you are, I want to know that. I want to understand what makes you you and treat you the way you want to be treated, not how I project myself onto you.”
— Jen Easterly, director, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
“[Create an environment] where people can understand when they can take time off and not feel like everything is going to fall apart. [Where] they have a plan for their career and how they’re going to grow. [Where] they have time to be with their friends and family enough not to be burned out."
— Deidre Diamond, founder and CEO of CyberSN and Security Diversity
“Actively invite engagement, listen with purpose, and look for signs of burnout. You can't expect everyone to feel equally comfortable expressing an opinion, and so it's important to solicit feedback at times as opposed to always passively expecting it. When you are getting engagement, listen with purpose. Make an effort to not only hear what's being said, but understand and empathize. Lastly, look for signs of burnout. … If you're noticing signs of burnout on the team, look for ways to intervene, like ensuring adequate team resourcing/load balancing to create a healthy work/life balance for everyone, and that team members are able to take PTO."
— Daniel Trauner, senior director of security, Axonius
“We need an environment where failure is not only tolerated, but an understood aspect of innovation. Our attackers are failing forward every single day, [and] we deserve the ability to do the same if we are going to protect our people, data, and organizations.”
— Chris Cochran, co-founder at Hacker Valley Media and creative director at Axonius
