Investigate and remediate quickly with MetricIQ

Security teams spend significant time manually interpreting raw metrics across multiple dashboards. Analysts must calculate trends, identify anomalies, and translate findings into remediation steps. This process can be slow and inconsistent when switching between security tools.

Panaseer’s MetricIQ empowers security teams to turn complex metric data into actionable insight. Instead of manually deciding which metric changes require attention and what action to take, you can quickly understand the significance of changes and receive clear recommendations on how to respond, all grounded in the organization’s own data and security best practices.

If you have any questions about the use of AI within the Panaseer platform, please refer to Panaseer's AI Principles or contact your CSM.

Some metric representations in dashboards are not suitable for use with MetricIQ. Refer to When the summary doesn’t tell the whole story for more information.

MetricIQ's insights are broken down into two sections, Summary and Actions:

• The Summary provides insights on how your business is performing against this metric, surfacing important trends for analysis. For example:
  The September 1st spike coincided with a notable decrease in total expected devices from 1,832 to 1,787, suggesting potential infrastructure changes.

• Actions suggests areas of investigation and initiatives you can implement to improve performance against this metric. For example:
  Analyze September 1st Infrastructure Changes
  Examine the reduction in expected devices from 1,832 to 1,787 and subsequent increase to 1,794 to understand scope changes and their impact on coverage metrics.

The and buttons let you rate the quality of summaries and actions, but your feedback won’t affect the model’s responses right away. We use your input to help us improve MetricIQ over time and make future results more relevant and useful.

If the result isn’t helpful, please contact our Customer Success team directly to share any feedback.

Investigate underlying data

MetricIQ includes a quick link button to the Key drivers page for the current metric. Here you can investigate the root causes behind metric shifts, eliminating the guesswork and bias that often lead to inefficient or inaccurate decisions.

Refer to Uncover trends and take action with Key drivers for more information.

When the summary doesn’t tell the whole story

Some metric representations in dashboards are not suitable for use with MetricIQ because percentages and multi-layered breakdowns can send mixed signals. Without human judgement, the result may be misleading. Examples of these types of metrics are:

• Inverse Metrics: In some cases, the trend direction (improvement/deterioration) may be misinterpreted in the summary. For example, any metric with Inverse percentage values enabled.

• Metrics with more than one breakdown dimension: For metrics with more than one breakdown dimension, summaries may include statements based on incorrect calculations across different time frames.
