Getting Started With the Platform
The Deepinfo Platform at 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 email, either an invitation from an admin in your organization or an email asking you to activate your Deepinfo account. See Set up your account from an email link. No package or role is needed to sign in.
Where to Find It
Open 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 colored group heading. Which modules you can open depends on your organization's package (see What you can access).
| Area | Sidebar | What you do there |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | 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 | 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 | BRAND RISK PROTECTION | Review lookalike domains that your detection rules find, and mark them as fraudulent or ignore them |
| Deep Search & Insights | DEEP SEARCH & INSIGHTS | Domain and vulnerability intelligence, domain and vulnerability search, instant lookups and data feeds. The breadcrumb calls this area DSI |
| Reports | REPORTS | Generate and schedule PDF reports, and export data as CSV or JSON |
| Notification Center | NOTIFICATION CENTER | Set up notification rules that email your team when an event happens, for example a newly discovered asset or a new fraudulent domain |
| 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.
