What is the Exposure Page?

The Exposure page in Nipper OmniSight provides a comprehensive, interactive view of your organisation’s security assessment data. It consolidates multiple audit types and presents them through visual dashboards, enabling both high-level monitoring and detailed investigation.


1. Purpose and Functionality

The Exposure page is designed to:

  • Deliver a centralised view of assessment results
  • Highlight security risks and compliance gaps
  • Provide historical trends for ongoing monitoring
  • Enable rapid navigation to detailed reports

It acts as the primary dashboard for understanding your overall exposure across all assessed devices.

2. Filtering and Data Segmentation

Assessment data can be refined using labels and match conditions:

Match Conditions

  • Match all
    Displays results from reports containing all selected labels
  • Match any
    Displays results from reports containing at least one selected label
  • Match exact
    Displays only results with the exact same label combination

This filtering system allows precise targeting of datasets, such as specific environments, business units, or device groups.

3. Core Dashboard Components

Security Overview

  • Displays:
    • Total devices assessed
    • Total findings
    • Critical and high vulnerabilities
  • Clicking the chart opens the corresponding reports

Vulnerability Overview

  • Shows vulnerability severity distribution
  • Includes percentage change vs. previous assessment
  • Supports drill-down into detailed findings

Cisco PSIRT Overview

  • Focuses on vendor-specific vulnerabilities (Cisco)
  • Accessible via the options menu
  • Provides severity breakdown and trend comparison
4. Compliance Dashboards

The Exposure page includes multiple compliance-focused views:

CIS Benchmark

  • Pass/fail counts for CIS compliance
  • Highlights overall compliance posture

PCI Overview & PCI Severity

  • Device compliance status (pass/fail)
  • Vulnerability severity for PCI audits

DISA STIG

  • Pass/fail counts, findings, and assessed devices
  • CAT-based breakdown of failures

NIST 800-53

  • Compliance status and findings
  • CAT-based failure analysis

Each dashboard supports:

  • Hover-based trend insights
  • Click-through navigation to detailed reports

5. Advanced Security Insights

Macro Segmentation Overview

  • Identifies deviations from defined whitelists:
    • IP ranges
    • Services
    • Users and privilege levels
  • Highlights potential:
    • Misconfigurations
    • Unauthorized changes
    • Privilege escalation risks

Filtering Complexity Analysis

  • Detects inefficiencies in network configurations:
    • Unused objects
    • Disabled rules
    • Overlapping or conflicting rules
  • Helps improve:
    • Security
    • Performance
    • Manageability

6. Trend Analysis (6-Month View)

The Exposure page provides historical trend data across multiple domains:

  • Best Practice Security
  • Vulnerabilities
  • Cisco PSIRT
  • CIS Benchmarks
  • PCI (severity and pass/fail)
  • DISA STIG (including CAT breakdown)
  • NIST 800-53
  • Macro Segmentation

Key Benefits

  • Track improvements over time
