The Findings Management page in Strobes provides a centralized interface for managing and monitoring findings identified across your environment. It is built on a feature-rich data grid, allowing security teams to efficiently view, analyze, filter, and manage large volumes of finding data from a single location.

The Findings Management page can be used by security teams to get a consolidated view of their security posture, focus on the most critical risks, and efficiently track findings from identification through remediation.

The following screenshot highlights the toolbar on the Finding Management page.
