# About the Threat Intelligence Dashboard

The **Threat Intelligence** page lets you investigate the characteristics of malvertising on your platform in more depth than the [Malvertising Overview](/advertising/about-the-malvertising-overview-for-platforms). Use the breakdowns and filters to see where risk concentrates. For example, you can see which operating systems or browsers appear most often for threats in a specific country, then prioritize mitigation.

## Dashboard filters

Use the filters at the top of the page to focus the trends and distribution charts:

* **Date range:** The period you want to analyze.
* **Smart Filter:** Click **Choose** to add filters, such as country, DSP, or browser. Then click **Filter** to apply them. Click **Reset** to return to the default view.

When you apply a filter, the trend graph and distribution charts update to that slice of your traffic.

## Threat attributes

You can evaluate threat activity across these characteristics:

* **Threat Class:** Attack mechanism categories, such as same-origin redirects or cloaked scripts. See the [Threat Library](/advertising/about-the-threat-library-for-platforms#threat-classes) for class and trait definitions.
* **Threat Type:** Higher-level groupings of threat behavior, such as redirect threats, compromised landing pages, or prohibited ads. You can group related classes under a shared type when you investigate.
* **DSP:** Demand-side platforms associated with the identified creative threats.
* **Device Type:** Device profiles associated with the observed threat traffic.
* **Operating System:** Operating systems associated with the threat traffic.
* **Country:** Geographic regions associated with the threat traffic.
* **Browser:** Browsers associated with the threat activity.

## Threat trends and distribution

### Attribute trend graph

The trend graph tracks threat volume over time for a selected characteristic.

To update the graph view, click any of the attribute tabs across the top of the panel:

* **Threat Class**
* **Threat Type**
* **DSP**
* **Device Type**
* **Operating System**
* **Country**
* **Browser**

Click a series in the legend to show or hide it if you want to examine a specific category more closely.

### Segment distribution breakdown

Breakdown charts show the proportional share of threat traffic within each category, including pie charts. Use them to spot primary risk drivers at a glance.

The breakdown charts cover the same attributes as the trend graph:

* **Threat Class:** Percentage share by specific threat mechanism.
* **Threat Type:** Percentage share by high-level threat category.
* **DSP:** Percentage of threat volume by demand-side platform.
* **Device Type:** Percentage share by device profile.
* **Operating System:** Percentage share by operating system.
* **Country:** Percentage share by geography.
* **Browser:** Percentage share by browser.
