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 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. 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 coloured 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 e-mail 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.
