        The Features page lets you configure Vantage to show, or hide, experimental and preview features for the selected organization.
      - Sensors Synchronization Settings
        The Settings Synchronization Settings (Sync) page shows the settings that this sensor inherits from its organization.
      - Tags
        The Tags page lets you assign tags to assets for access management purposes. This lets you constrain role assignments into a specific tag.
      - Zone Configurations
        The Zone Configurations page shows all the zone configurations in your organization, and lets you add new ones.
      - Imports
        The Imports page lets you see the list of imported hardware configuration, or project files, from which asset information is extracted.

        The Asset Rules page shows all the asset rules in your organization, and lets you add new ones.
      - Security Control Panel
        The Security Control Panel allows administrators to configure security settings across the organization.
      - Custom Fields
        The Custom Fields page lets you enrich the schema of assets and nodes, and propagate the information to every sensor.
      - Credentials Manager
        Use the Credentials Manager to define credentials that authorize access to hosts through Smart Polling or Arc. This enables secure data collection and encrypted transmission decryption. You can add, customize, and manage credentials for various device types.
      - Alert Close Options
        The Alert Close Options page lets you define custom explanations for closing an alert.
      - Alert Playbooks
        The Alert Playbooks page lets you define templates to follow to manage alerts. An alert playbook defines custom content that instructs alert operators, and other users, how to manage various types of alerts. Playbooks are associated with alerts that match criteria specified in an alert rule. When a matching alert is raised, the playbook's content is included on the new alert's Details page. You and your team can update this content to record progress and take notes particular to this alert.

        Yara Rules
        Yara rules define patterns to identify malware or suspicious files based on textual or binary signatures. Use this page to view, update, and manage Yara detection logic across your organization. These rules match known indicators within file content to enhance threat detection.
        Sigma Rules
        Sigma rules provide a standardized format for describing detection logic based on event logs. Use this page to manage Sigma rules that identify suspicious activity across log sources. These rules support consistent threat detection across heterogeneous environments.
        Stix Indicators
        Stix indicators provide structured threat intelligence data to support automated detection of malicious activity. Use this page to view and manage indicators sourced from known attack patterns and threat actor behaviors. These indicators enhance visibility into emerging threats across your network.
