Dashboards

Edit online

IBM® Quantum Safe Explorer provides various dashboards to help you track, analyze, and act on the collected data.

Following are the available dashboards:

Applying filters

Apply the following filters to get the report on the dashboard.

  • Scan ID: The network snapshot ID signifies the incremental loading of network scan data. As new scans are ingested, Scan ID value increases sequentially.
  • Provision ID: The application provision ID represents the incremental loading of new application provisioning data. This ID value increases sequentially with each new provisioning event.
  • QSE ID: The Quantum Safe Explorer ID signifies the snapshot ID for IBM Quantum Safe Explorer data. This ID increases sequentially with the loading of new data.
  • Start Date: Specify the date from which you want to start filtering the reports.
  • End Date: Specify the date until which you want to filter the reports.
Note: The dashboard filters primarily operates on snapshot data. When a snapshot is included within the selected filter range, all policies associated with that snapshot are displayed on the dashboard, regardless of whether those policies were created within the filter range. This is because the filter criteria are applied on snapshot data, not on the metadata of associated policies.

Quantum safe - summary

The summary dashboard is the primary dashboard that brings together visibility, policy compliance and cryptographic inventories from the network and applications. When you log in to IBM Quantum Safe Explorer for the first time, you land on the Quantum Safe - Summary dashboard.

The Quantum Safe - Summary dashboard provides a comprehensive, high-level overview of your organization's cryptographic security across network and application layers. It combines essential information on cipher strength distribution, protocol usage, library presence, endpoint coverage, and policy compliance. By consolidating these insights, the dashboard allows security teams and stakeholders to assess your organization's readiness for quantum-safe standards, identify cryptographic vulnerabilities, and ensure adherence to established cryptographic policies and compliance requirements.

Cryptographic Inventory – Networks Tabular List Displays a comprehensive inventory of cryptographic settings for scanned network endpoints, detailing protocol type and version, cipher suite characteristics, encryption strength, and geographical details.

Quantum safe - policy compliance

This dashboard displays network-specific policy violations.

The Quantum Safe – Policy Compliance dashboard offers a detailed perspective on policy violations that are identified across scanned network endpoints and provisioned application environments. This dashboard empowers teams to track outdated protocols, weak ciphers, and other noncompliant cryptographic practices that can risks in the context of post-quantum security readiness.

Table 5. Quantum Safe – Policy Compliance details
Section title Data visualization type Description
Policy Compliance Tabular List Displays a detailed list of cryptographic policy violations that are detected during scans and applications, reported at the domain key level—covering both network and application contexts. Each row highlights the violated policy, its severity, description, detection timestamp, and associated host or port information. Other context such as country classification, policy alert email, and integration references enables traceability and supports effective remediation. This view is critical for enforcing cryptographic standards and advancing quantum-safe readiness across the environment.
