These updates give every team member the ability to create personalized dashboards and reports that make them more effective at protecting their organizations.”</p> <p><strong>Key platform enhancements</strong></p><div class="code-block code-block-15" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2091799172090865" crossorigin="anonymous" type="c6637805fcea70609d4b11d6-text/javascript"></script> <!-- SB In Article Ad 1 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-2091799172090865" data-ad-slot="8723094367" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins> <script type="c6637805fcea70609d4b11d6-text/javascript"> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div> <p><strong>•Custom dashboards with drag-and-drop functionality: </strong>Security professionals can now build personalized dashboards using more than a dozen customizable widgets, including risk score trends, critical findings tables, asset distribution charts, and compliance status monitors. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows users to create role-specific views while maintaining the ability to share dashboards across teams and apply global filtering across all custom views.</p> <p><strong>•Configurable reports for enhanced asset management: </strong>The platform now features fully customizable data tables that allow users to select which columns display in their target lists, create multiple saved views for different scenarios, and resize columns to optimize their workflow. Pre-configured views include summary, scan schedule, tag management, and technical details options.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.lastwatchdog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/Halo-Security-graphic.png"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.lastwatchdog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/Halo-Security-graphic-520x308.png"></a>•Improved auto-tagging with granular control: </strong>The Halo Security platform now provides more precise control over asset organization.

The improved automation system offers better performance and predictability to ensure consistent asset categorization.</p> <p><strong>Industry impact</strong></p> <p>The cybersecurity industry continues to grapple with tool sprawl and workflow inefficiencies that can slow response times to critical security incidents. Security teams often struggle with managing multiple tools and platforms, creating challenges in data correlation and workflow management.</p> <div><a href="https://www.lastwatchdog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/Nick-Merritt-hdsht.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.lastwatchdog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/Nick-Merritt-hdsht-100x120.jpg"></a> Merritt</div> <p>“Security teams shouldn’t have to fight their tools to get the information they need,” said Nick Merritt, VP of Security at Halo Security. “These customization features let our customers organize their data the way they think about it and take control of how they interact with the security data we collect.”</p> <p><strong>Availability</strong></p> <p>The new customization features are immediately available to all Halo Security customers at no additional cost.
