# About the Overview dashboard

Sightline Cyberfraud Defense’s **Overview** dashboard summarizes insights, user behaviors, user experiences, and business impact your

mitigation

efforts have on your applications and traffic. This dashboard is a great place to assess the overall state of your applications, learn how Sightline is securing your sites, and determine critical items to address first.

> **Warning**
>
> If some widgets do not have data, this typically indicates that at least one part of your application has an unsupported Enforcer. Even if most of your dashboard data seems correct, this error means there’s something that needs your attention. In addition, some legacy installs will need internal configuration changes to support the new data. This typically occurs when:
>
> * The Enforcer is outdated and needs to be upgraded to its latest version
> * The Enforcer is not detecting any traffic and needs to be reconfigured to do so
>
> The latter situation is more rare, so we recommend trying to update the Enforcer first. If that doesn’t resolve the error, [reach out to us](/applications/human-customer-support).

You can find this dashboard from **Sightline Cyberfraud Defense > Overview > Overview.** You can learn more about the information available here with this article.

## Filters

You can update the **filters** at the top of the page to change the data that’s displayed in the Overview. These filters apply to the entire dashboard.

## Sessions & Business reporting

The **Sessions/Business** section shows the impact Sightline has had on your applications and users. This is a great place to assess how well Sightline protects your business.

### Sessions

The **Sessions** distribution and statistics show how many

sessions

Sightline has protected or blocked within your selected time range. This is useful for understanding how many legitimate sessions Sightline has protected and how many malicious ones it’s blocked. Malicious sessions can be especially interesting because sophisticated bots typically attempt to act like legitimate users and have sessions.

Sightline breaks down your all of your sessions into three statistics:

* **Protected Sessions:** The total number of sessions that did not encounter

  direct mitigations

  at any point. This includes sessions that may have had a simulated block.
* **Verified Sessions:** The total number of sessions that experienced at least one

  soft mitigation

  , but did not get blocked. Since verified sessions are not directly mitigated, these are a subset of **protected sessions.**
* **Malicious  Sessions:** The total number of sessions that encountered direct mitigation, including those that encountered soft mitigation and failed to pass it.

### Protected Visitors

**Protected Visitors** shows the number of

visitors

Sightline has protected and verified over your selected time range. This helps you evaluate how Sightline impacted your visitors. There are four statistics displayed here:

* **Total Protected Visitors:** The total number of visitors who did not encounter

  direct mitigations

  during their last

  session

  . This also shows the change in protected visitors compared to the last period, which is determined by your selected time range. For example, if you have the last 7 days selected, then Sightline will compare visitors to the 7 days before that.
* **No Friction Users:** The number of users who did not experience any direct mitigation or

  soft mitigation

  .
* **Experienced Friction Visitors:** The percentage of users who experienced some sort of soft mitigation but were not blocked during their last session.
* **Potential False Positive Users:**  The percentage of users who experienced some sort of soft mitigation and were ultimately blocked during their last session.

### Protection Impact

**Protection Impact** shows how Sightline impacted your users’ conversions across

sessions

in your time range. This is useful for assessing whether Sightline is impacting your business or not, particularly for users that are encountering friction on your application. Sightline displays three statistics here:

> **Note**
>
> These statistics only include non-malicious sessions. Sightline counts a conversion when a session reaches a checkout complete page.

* **Protection Impact:** The difference between the **Conversion Rate Across All Sessions** and the **Conversion Rate in Sessions including Friction.** This also shows the change in protection impact compared to the last period, which is determined by your selected time range. For example, if you have the last 7 days selected, then Sightline will compare to the 7 days before that.
* **Conversion Rate Across All Sessions:** The total number of sessions that reached the checkout complete page ÷ the total number of sessions.
* **Conversion Rate in Sessions including Friction:** The total number of sessions that encountered

  soft mitigation

  and reached the checkout complete page ÷ the total number of sessions.

## Threat and Mitigation

The **Threat and Mitigation** section shows the number of mitigation actions taken, the number of potential threats added to Sightline’s database, and a summary of malicious traffic within the time range. This section is best for quickly assessing recent malicious activity and their characteristics from one place.

### Direct & Soft Mitigation

**Direct and Soft Mitigation** shows the number of mitigation actions Sightline took on traffic during the selected time range. **Direct mitigation** shows a distribution of

direct mitigations

Sightline presented at different points in the

user journey

. This is useful for determining where malicious bot behavior is targeting your application. There are three statistics shown here:

* **Pre-authentication:** The total number of blocked requests that Sightline presented to

  visitors

  that were not logged in.
* **At authentication:** The total number of blocked requests that Sightline presented at authentication.
* **Post authentication:** The total number of blocked requests that Sightline presented to visitors after they logged in.

**Soft mitigation** displays

visitors

and requests that experienced some sort of friction, such as a CAPTCHA, but were not blocked. Sightline uses

soft mitigation

to learn more about a certain visitor or

session

to determine whether it is legitimate or not. These statistics are useful for understanding the number of soft mitigation that Sightline presented during your time range.

> **Note**
>
> Soft mitigation statistics only appear if you have [Precheck](/applications/manage-sightline-precheck-settings#enable-precheck) enabled.

* **Precheck:** The total number of visitors that encountered Precheck during their session.
* **Captcha:** The total number of requests that Sightline presented with a CAPTCHA.
* **General Action Type:** The total number of requests Sightline mitigated with a [policy rule action.](/applications/custom-actions-overview)
* **Trigger MFA:** The total number of requests Sightline mitigated with multi-factor authentication (MFA).

### Threat Intelligence

**Threat Intelligence** tracks new potential threat characteristics that Sightline and HUMAN’s [Satori Threat Intelligence Team](https://www.humansecurity.com/company/satori-threat-intelligence/) detected and added to our database. You can also view how many blocked requests or mitigation actions were taken as a result of this new data. This is useful for tracking how Sightline continuously incorporates new threats and applies them to your security.

There are two types of threat intelligence tracked here:

* **Signatures added:** The total number of new signatures HUMAN detected on your application and added to its database. Signatures are certain traits the HUMAN network identified for specific bots. Sightline also shows how many requests were blocked due to Sightline flagging at least one of these new signatures.
* **Credentials Intelligence added:** The total number of compromised credentials HUMAN added to its database across HUMAN’s customer network. HUMAN hashes and salts these credentials before it stores them. You can also see the number of blocked requests due to Sightline flagging a request with these credentials and the number of your users’ accounts that match these credentials.

### Malicious Traffic

**Malicious Traffic** summarizes the amount of traffic Sightline blocked and the Attack Profiles associated with these blocked requests within the time range. This is useful for quickly assessing your overall blocked traffic and identifying potential bad actors on your applications. You can also click **Open Sightline** to navigate directly to the [Sightline Threat Tracker.](/applications/about-the-sightline-threat-tracker-dashboard)

There are four primary statistics at the top of Malicious Traffic:

* **Blocked Traffic:** The total number of requests Sightline blocked, including simulated blocks. This also shows the change in blocked traffic compared to the last period, which is determined by your selected time range. For example, if you have the last 7 days selected, then Sightline will compare to the 7 days before that.
* **Block Rate:** The rate that Sightline blocks traffic. This is calculated as the percentage of blocked requests out of the total requests on your application. This also shows the change in block rate compared to the previous period.
* **Blocked before 1st request (Precheck):** The number of requests [Precheck](/applications/manage-sightline-precheck-settings) blocked, which are new bots that attempted to visit your application for the first time.
* **Requests until blocked (median):** The median number of requests in a malicious

  session

  before Sightline blocked it. Sightline considers bots without a session as having zero requests or, if the first request was successful, one request.

There’s also an **Attack Types Distribution** chart, which shows the distribution of the types of attacks Sightline detected on your application.

![](/_fern-img/4242abed26cb1e500a8760fe70e684a44a524ad1982d88592e4788d3d0424bf3.webp)

Finally, you can review the **5 Top Attack Profiles** and **New Emerging Profiles.** These list the five most common Attack Profiles with the most requests and five new Profiles with the most requests. This also lists each Profile’s size, sophistication, and the routes they were targeting. For more information, see [About Attack Profiles.](/applications/about-sightline-threat-tracker-attack-profiles)

## Trusted AI Agents & Bots Management

The **Trusted AI Agents & Bot Management** section shows the most common or recently detected trusted AI agents and bots. This is useful for identifying which known agents and bots are most common on your applications as well as ensuring they are operating on the paths you expect.

### Trusted AI Agents

**Trusted AI Agents** summarizes information about common AI agents that visit your applications and where they’re active.

* **Top Trusted AI Agents**: Lists the five most common AI agents, their provider, type, and the date that Sightline last detected them. You can click on **Top Trusted AI Agents** to navigate directly to the [AI Agents Monitoring dashbard.](/applications/about-the-ai-agents-monitoring-dashboard)
* **Top 10 Trusted AI Agents Target Routes**: Lists the most common routes on your application that the 10 most active AI agents visited. You can also view the **volume** of bot traffic and legitimate traffic for each route. Click on **Top 10 Trusted AI Aagents Target Routes** to navigate directly to the [AI Agents Monitoring dashbard.](/applications/about-the-ai-agents-monitoring-dashboard)

### Trusted bots

**Trusted bots** summarizes information about new trusted bots Sightline detected as well as where trusted bots are commonly active on your applications.

* **Newly Seen:** Lists the ten most recent bots Sightline detected within your time range. You can quickly review the **permissions** assigned to the bot, if any. Bots can be **allowed** or **blocked,** and the permission states are represented with the following:
  * ![](/_fern-img/8d315d384c1c959e3527ee1a628325d6ac8c791d0f7602d8261a5178bb6d5d1c.webp): Dotted outlines with a star represent permissions that you have not set yourself and what Sightline currently uses for the bot. These permissions are based on the default actions recommended by HUMAN.
  * ![](/_fern-img/eaedf0fea225f382faa4bff941dc1b30c74d7b5bf1bfc24ed394e78acb71fbe5.webp): Solid outlines with a star represent permissions that you set that also coincide with HUMAN’s defaults. If HUMAN ever updates its default permissions for this bot, then your selection will stay the same, and this will change to just a solid outline.
  * ![](/_fern-img/60b283c965dae460430235ac22c2c248c6d2d9f5326078fd005ac35f1a9b09df.webp): Solid outlines without a star represent permissions that you set, but do not coincide with HUMANs defaults.
  * ![](/_fern-img/6da227c98b39215d542a7a8492a9c2e16077cd4cdd7b44005e6a679c1bc831c7.webp): This means that this permission is not enabled for the bot.
* **Top 10 Trusted Bots Target Routes**: Lists the most common routes on your application that the 10 most active trusted bots visited. You can also view the **volume** of bot traffic and legitimate traffic for each route.

![](/_fern-img/f8490c3fefce1d015d07989c756f80ceb90c3acae3f9276061693f08b3060cc0.webp)

## User experience

The **User experience** section summarizes Sightline’s impact on your users’ experience. This includes latency or the number of user accounts Sightline protected. This is useful for assessing how Sightline directly affects how users interact with your applications.

### Accounts Protected

**Accounts Protected** displays the number of user accounts Sightline protected within the time range. Sightline displays the following statistics:

* **Total accounts protected:** The total number of accounts protected. This also shows the change in accounts compared to the last period, which is determined by your selected time range. For example, if you have the last 7 days selected, then Sightline will compare to the 7 days before that.
* **Activities:** The total number of risky activities Sightline detected.
* **Device Fingerprint:** The total number of device fingerprints Sightline detected.
