Introduction
Briefings is the page that opens when you log in to X-Analytics. It summarizes every change to your cyber risk profile since the last time you were there, names what caused each one, and lets you drill into the detail.
Changes come from three places: X-Analytics model updates, other users on your profile, and newly released AI tools.
Key takeaways
- Briefings opens automatically on login and shows what changed in your X-Analytics cyber risk profile since the last time you were there.
- Every update names its cause, so you know whether your risk moved because of the model, because of a teammate, or because a new tool became available.
- Three change sources, one page: X-Analytics model and back-end variable updates, changes made by other users with access to your profile, and newly released AI tools your team can use.
- The briefings page holds for your whole login session, so you can navigate back to it any time.
- When a teammate changes the profile while you are logged in, a new briefing appears to tell you what they did.
Jaclyn Knipfer, Vice President of Customer Success and User Experience at X-Analytics, walks through Briefings across three different profiles.
What is Briefings?
Briefings is a page in X-Analytics that summarizes what changed in your cyber risk profile since your last login. It opens the moment you log in, shows the timestamp of your previous session, and lists each update with the reason behind it.
The page is scoped to you. Two users on the same account can see different briefings pages, because each one is built against that user's own last login. If you were in yesterday and a colleague was last in three weeks ago, your briefings page covers a day and theirs covers three weeks.
What shows up on the briefings page?
Every update on the page falls into one of three sources, and Briefings labels which.
X-Analytics model and back-end variable updates
Changes to your cyber risk profile driven by updates to the X-Analytics model or to back-end variables. Your exposure reflects current loss and threat conditions, rather than the conditions from the last time you happened to look.
Changes from another user on your profile
A change made by a teammate with access to your profile, and the effect it had, such as your risk being lowered. You know a shift in your numbers came from a colleague's work rather than from something outside your control.
Newly released AI tools
AI tools released since your last login that your team can now use. New analysis becomes available to you without waiting for someone to announce it.
How does Briefings work?
- You log in. X-Analytics opens Briefings before anything else.
- The page sets the window. It shows the last time you logged in, so every update below is scoped to what you missed.
- Each change is summarized and attributed. Model and back-end variable updates, teammate changes, and newly released tools are listed with the cause named.
- You drill in. Every update on the page opens deeper through the AI overlay, so a one-line summary becomes the full explanation.
- The page stays with you. Briefings holds for your entire login session. Navigate away, work, and come back to it whenever you want.
- Your team updates you live. If someone with access changes the profile while you are still logged in, a new briefing appears to tell you what they changed.
What do you walk away with?
- A current read on your profile. What moved, what moved it, and where it landed.
- The reason behind every number. Attribution on each change, so a shift in exposure comes with its explanation attached.
- The language to share it. A summary you can bring to your team or your leadership without reconstructing the history yourself.
