Single-Pane-of-Glass Digital Presence View

A Single-Pane-of-Glass Digital Presence View in cybersecurity refers to a unified and integrated perspective of an organization's digital footprint through a single interface or dashboard. It consolidates information from various sources and platforms, including websites, social media, dark web, and other online assets, providing a comprehensive and centralized view of the organization's digital presence and security posture.

Organizations often rely on multiple tools and platforms to manage their digital presence, leading to fragmented information and potential blind spots. A Single-Pane-of-Glass view is essential because it:

  • Improves visibility: Provides a centralized view of all digital assets and security risks, eliminating information silos.

  • Enhances situational awareness: Offers a comprehensive understanding of the organization's attack surface and potential vulnerabilities.

  • Simplifies monitoring: Consolidates security alerts and notifications from various sources into a single dashboard, streamlining threat detection and response.

  • Facilitates collaboration: Enables seamless information sharing and cooperation between security teams and other stakeholders.

  • Increases efficiency: Centralizing information and tools reduces the time and effort required to monitor and manage digital presence.

The patent "Holistic Assessment, Monitoring, and Management of Digital Presence" (US 11,962,612 B2) highlights the importance of a unified view of an organization's digital presence. It describes a system that can collect and correlate data from various sources to provide a comprehensive and integrated assessment.
