Applications
Use the Applications dashboard in Risk Monitor to explore different aspects of the applications in your IT estate.
Description
You can, for example, see:
The distribution of applications between manufacturers in the Application manufacturers chart.
If there is an unexpectedly large amount of applications of a type that should not be commonly used in your organization in the Application types chart.
The number of vulnerable applications that are out of support but for which upgrades are available in the Application installations risk cross-over chart.
You can look up the exact versions of installed applications in the Application details table.
You can filter the data to focus on specific aspects of the applications. All key figures, charts, and tables will adjust to show the results filtered by the selected parameter. Use the filters to focus on, for example:
All applications installed on a specific device.
All applications within a specific department in the organization.
All vulnerable applications within the organization.
All PII risk applications within the organization.
All open source applications within the organization.

Key figures
The key figures give a quick overview of the applications in your IT estate.
Key figure | Description |
|---|---|
Installed | The total number of applications installed on devices in the organization. |
Vulnerable | The number of installed applications containing at least one vulnerability. |
PII risk | The number of installed applications that may contain personally identifiable information. |
Vulnerable PII risk | The number of installed applications that are both vulnerable and may contain personally identifiable information. |
Filters
Use one or more filters to focus on certain aspects of the applications in your IT estate. All the key figures, charts, and tables on the dashboard will adjust to show the results filtered by the selected parameter or parameters.
Filter | Description |
|---|---|
Device name | Select a device from the list to see an overview of applications installed on that device. The table Application details will list all applications installed on the device and the number of vulnerabilities for each application. |
Organization | Select an organizational unit from the list to see an overview of applications used by that organizational unit. |
Vulnerable application | Select True to see an overview of all vulnerable applications. Select False to see an overview of all applications without vulnerabilities. |

Application installations risk cross-over | Each circle in the diagram represents applications in your IT estate with a specific characteristic:
Applications with two or more characteristics are represented by the segments of overlapping circles. For example, the segment in the middle of the diagram represents applications with all four characteristics; vulnerable PII applications that are out of support, but for which upgrades are available. |
Application manufacturers | Groups the number of installed applications by manufacturer. |
Application types | Groups the number of installed applications by application type. |
