Risk Index Overview

View detailed information about your company's Risk Index and the contributing Risk Factors.

The Risk Index is determined based off many factors including risk indicators and the number of risky users, devices, and apps accessed over time. The Operations Dashboard app assesses your organization's Risk Index by categorizing risk factors and evaluating how specific indicators affect your network. For a more comprehensive risk assessment, configure more data sources.

Important:

The Risk Index is calculated using all data received from your business without applying management scope limits.

Trend Vision One allows you to mitigate the risks found in your environment by providing remediation steps and preventative measures. For more information, see Risk Assessment.

The following tables provide detailed information about the risk factors that contribute to the Risk Index.

Important:

For customers that signed up for or expressly updated Trend Vision One after July 3, 2023, the event counts of risk factors are only visible for users with full management scope.
