  - Sensors
    The Sensors page lets you view all of the sensors that you have in your system.
  - Alerts
    The Alerts page shows all the alerts notifications that your sensors pass to Vantage related to security incidents in your network. This page lets you learn about the alerts, edit their values and post comments.
  - Assets
    The Assets page shows all the physical components and systems that Vantage has detected through your sensors. Composed of one or more nodes, assets are the fundamental resources that Vantage protects.
  - Wireless
    The Wireless page lets you buy and connect a Guardian Air sensor. Once you have connected one or more Guardian Air sensor, the Wireless page show the connected Guardian Air sensors.
  - Queries
    The Queries page lets you write queries for your system. You can also save queries and assertions to be used again.
  - Vulnerabilities
    The Vulnerabilities page shows a list of all the vulnerabilities that Vantage has detected in your system. Vulnerabilities are weaknesses that reduce the security of your system and give threat actors an opportunity to exploit your system.
  - Vantage IQ
    Vantage IQ helps you navigate and explore your network. You can use smart query commands to leverage advanced machine learning and data analytic algorithms to dive deeper into your data.
  - Network
    The Network page shows a visual representation of your network and all its assets.
  - Graph
    Displays a visual map of your network, highlighting asset connections and communication paths. Users can switch between network and physical views to explore infrastructure relationships.
    - Network graph
      The Network graph page shows a visual representation of your network and all its assets. The icons can represent both assets or nodes. If a node belongs to an asset, then only the asset will show. If several nodes belong to the same asset, they will not show, and only the asset will show. In the case that a node does not belong to an asset, the node itself will show.
    - Physical graph
      The Physical graph page displays a real-time interactive map of all physical device connections in the network. Nodes are shown only if a physical link has been detected for them. The graph, shows how devices connect at the cable level. It is a live, visual way to understand your physical network layout down to the port.
    - Graph customization
      The Customize button lets you customize the graph view.
  - Process
    The Process page shows a list of processes in your environment. Processes are a set of repeatable functions that a business does to deliver a core value.
  - Dashboards
    The Dashboards page shows a list of all the dashboards that have been created.
  - Reports
    The Reports page shows all the reports that the sensors in your system have created.
  - Sites
    The Sites page shows all the geographical locations of the assets in your system. It lets you associate a site to one or more network domains. You can also add details such as the country or city of the site.
  - Workbooks
    The Workbooks page shows recommended courses of action that can improve your network security. Generated through machine learning, workbooks highlight the vulnerabilities currently creating the highest risk exposure.
  - Threat Intelligence
    The Threat Intelligence page shows an overview of all of the available threat cards and categories. It also lets you filter the threat cards to show only malware, threat actors, or vulnerabilities

Physical graph

The Physical graph page displays a real-time interactive map of all physical device connections in the network. Nodes are shown only if a physical link has been detected for them. The graph, shows how devices connect at the cable level. It is a live, visual way to understand your physical network layout down to the port.

Overview

The Physical graph view provides a visual representation of cable-level connections between devices in the network. It uses data collected through Smart Polling and system integrations to display physical links in a dynamic topology graph that reflects actual hardware wiring, including switch port details.

This view supplements logical graphs by showing real-time or historical physical connectivity between assets. Devices are positioned based on link data, with visual indicators that show port assignments and device types. Use the Physical graph to examine network structure, trace physical paths, and identify connectivity changes.

Icons

The top left and right corners have icons that you let interact with the graph.

Refresh

The Refresh icon lets you immediately refresh the current view.

Live

The Live toggle lets you change live view on, or off. When live mode is on, the page will refresh periodically.
