  **Evaluating ThreatAware?** Start with the [Platform Overview](/platform-overview) for the 5-minute conceptual tour, then talk to your account team about a guided demo. The rest of this page is the wayfinding map for customers already onboarded.

## What is ThreatAware Protect?

**ThreatAware Protect** is an agentless cyber asset management platform. It pulls device data from every tool your organisation already runs — Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Mobile Device Management (MDM), identity provider, vulnerability scanner, Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM), network scanner — and answers the question your security team is always asking: ***is every device protected, and how do we know?***

Three things make it different:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="No agents" icon="ban">
    100% API-based. You don't deploy anything to endpoints — Protect reads from the consoles you already manage.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cross-tool correlation" icon="shuffle">
    Devices are matched and deduplicated across every connected source. The same laptop appears once, not five times.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Functional Vitals" icon="heart-pulse">
    Goes beyond "is the agent installed?" to "is the agent actually reporting, configured correctly, and protecting this device?"

## Quick definitions

A handful of Capital-Noun features come up repeatedly on this page. Quick definitions (full reference in the [Glossary](/reference/glossary)):

| Term                  | Quick meaning                                                                                                                                         |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Vital**             | One integration's view of one device's control state — Deployed + Functioning + Configured. See [Security Monitoring (Vitals)](/security-monitoring). |
| **Action**            | A monitored set of devices tracked through to remediation, with optional outbound automation. Lives in the **Action Center**.                         |
| **Continuous Action** | An always-on Action — re-evaluates after every sync, suits ongoing hygiene.                                                                           |
| **Snapshot Action**   | A fixed-scope, time-bound Action — captured at creation, suits projects with a deadline.                                                              |
| **Action Center**     | The `/action-center` page where Actions live and outbound automations are wired.                                                                      |
| **Logic Engine**      | The rule editor that drives dynamic [Tag](/tags-and-logic-engine) membership, used to scope Vitals and Actions.                                       |

## The shape of the platform

Protect organises around these primary surfaces. Most are direct left-rail destinations; **Device Explorer** is the default landing route after sign-in but isn't in the main rail.

| Icon                                         | Section               | What it answers                                                    |
| -------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 🌍 Device Explorer                           | `/device-explorer`    | *Where in the world are my devices, and what's syncing right now?* |
| 📊 [Dashboard](/platform-overview#dashboard) | `/dashboard`          | *What's the headline of my security posture?*                      |
| 💻 [Devices](/device-management)             | `/devices`            | *Find any device, slice the estate, build views.*                  |
| 👤 [User Inventory](/user-inventory)         | `/user-inventory`     | *Who owns what, and which apps do they touch?*                     |
| 📦 [Software Inventory](/software-inventory) | `/software-inventory` | *What's installed across the estate?*                              |
| ⚠️ [Issues](/issues)                         | `/issues`             | *What's broken, by severity, right now?*                           |
| ⚡ [Action Center](/automation)               | `/action-center`      | *What automated workflows are running and how are they tracking?*  |
| 🎨 [Reporting](/reporting)                   | `/studio/editor`      | *Custom dashboards built with AI.*                                 |

A **⚙️ Settings** cog sits at the bottom of the left rail. Pinned Studio apps sit above the cog, so a published dashboard becomes a first-class navigation item alongside Devices and Issues.

## Your first hour

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read the Platform Overview">
    Five minutes to grasp the data flow, deduplication model, and three-stage vitals — everything else builds on those concepts. Start at [Platform Overview](/platform-overview).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow Onboarding">
    Connect Microsoft Entra ID, your primary EDR, and Active Directory. These three integrations give you \~80% of estate visibility on day one. See [Onboarding](/onboarding).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Take the in-product tour">
    Once you're signed in, an in-product tour walks you through every Dashboard panel — nine screens, two minutes. See the [Tour](/tour) page for the walkthrough; not signed in yet, start with [Onboarding](/onboarding).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Vitals">
    Vitals validate that controls are actually working. Start with EDR (CrowdStrike, Defender, or SentinelOne) and one MDM (Intune or Jamf). See [Security Monitoring](/security-monitoring).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wire your first Action">
    Begin with an **email Action** before automating remediation. Validate the query, then layer in tickets, webhooks, or Power Automate. See [Action Center](/automation).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Who Protect is for

| Role                   | What Protect does for you                                                                                          |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Security Analysts**  | Find missing controls, broken agents, and coverage gaps invisible inside any single console                        |
| **Security Engineers** | Replace nightly spreadsheets with continuous, accurate, cross-tool inventory                                       |
| **SecOps Managers**    | Track EDR coverage, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enrolment, patch SLA, and compliance scores in one dashboard |
| **Compliance Leads**   | Produce auditor-ready evidence — Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Controls                               |
| **MSPs / MSSPs**       | Operate multiple tenants, share filtered views with clients, automate monthly reports                              |
| **Developers**         | Hit the REST API or build custom dashboards in [Reporting](/reporting) without writing React from scratch          |

## What you can build with Protect

* **Coverage dashboards** — "How many laptops don't have CrowdStrike *and* haven't been seen in MDM for 14 days?"
* **Broken agent reports** — Detect the silent-failure case where EDR is "installed" but stopped reporting weeks ago
* **OS migration trackers** — Snapshot Action: 1,234 Windows 10 devices, deadline Q4, ticking down to zero
* **Compliance scorecards** — Tag-based requirements: laptops need EDR + encryption, servers need EDR + patching
* **MSP client reports** — Filtered views per client tag, scheduled CSV/JSON/XLSX delivery
* **Custom apps** — [Reporting](/reporting) builds React applications over your data with natural-language prompts
