The Deepinfo Platform at [platform.deepinfo.com](https://platform.deepinfo.com) is the web application
your security team works in. This section takes you from your first sign-in to your first useful screen:
signing in, securing your account, finding your way around, and the list controls that every module
shares.

## Before You Start

You need a Deepinfo Platform account. The platform has no sign-up form: you set up your account from a
link in an e-mail, either an invitation from an admin in your organization or an e-mail asking you to
activate your Deepinfo account. See
[Set up your account from an e-mail link](/guide/basics/set-up-your-account/). No package or role is
needed to sign in.

## Where to Find It

Open [platform.deepinfo.com](https://platform.deepinfo.com) and sign in. Unless you opened a link to a
specific page, you land on the Global Dashboard:
**Sidebar:** **GLOBAL DASHBOARD** · https://platform.deepinfo.com/app/global-dashboard

## What the Platform Covers

The sidebar on the left lists the platform's areas. Each module has a coloured group heading.
Which modules you can open depends on your organization's package (see
[What you can access](/guide/basics/packages-and-roles/)).

| Area | Sidebar | What you do there |
|---|---|---|
| [Global Dashboard](/guide/global-dashboard/) | **GLOBAL DASHBOARD** | See your organization's security score and headline figures for External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and Brand Risk Protection (BRP), with links into each module |
| [External Attack Surface Management](/guide/easm/) | **EXTERNAL ATTACK SURFACE MANAGEMENT** | Monitor your assets (domains, subdomains, IP addresses and websites), review newly discovered assets, and work through issues, vulnerabilities and technologies |
| [Cyber Threat Intelligence](/guide/cti/) | **CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE** | Review compromised employee data and exposed credentials, and compromised client and payment credentials; read cybersecurity news; search the dark web |
| [Brand Risk Protection](/guide/brp/) | **BRAND RISK PROTECTION** | Review lookalike domains that your detection rules find, and mark them as fraudulent or ignore them |
| [Deep Search & Insights](/guide/dsi/) | **DEEP SEARCH & INSIGHTS** | Domain and vulnerability intelligence, domain and vulnerability search, instant lookups and data feeds. The breadcrumb calls this area **DSI** |
| [Reports](/guide/reports/) | **REPORTS** | Generate and schedule PDF reports, and export data as CSV or JSON |
| [Notification Center](/guide/notifications/) | **NOTIFICATION CENTER** | Set up notification rules that e-mail your team when an event happens, for example a newly discovered asset or a new fraudulent domain |
| [Settings](/guide/settings/) | **SETTINGS** | Manage your account and, if you are an admin, your organization, its members and its security settings; manage API keys, usage and logs |

Some screens use the word *portfolio*. It means your monitored assets, the same thing as your EASM
inventory.

## Good to Know

- **Get help.** In the platform, open the profile menu at the top right and select **SUPPORT**. It opens
  an e-mail to [support@deepinfo.com](mailto:support@deepinfo.com). **DOCUMENTATION** in the same menu
  opens this documentation site.
- **Terms.** The [Glossary](/guide/glossary/) explains the terms and labels used across the platform.
- **Working with the API instead?** This guide covers the web application. For programmatic access, start
  with [Getting started](/getting-started/) and the [API reference](/reference/).
