Environment Health

The Environment Health feature in Code42's Incydr product streamlines data security management by monitoring, analyzing, and responding to insider threats and data risks, providing intelligent alerts, visibility into data movements, and seamless IT integration. It simplifies complex security data, making it accessible and actionable for security teams.

Challenges Faced

• Security teams lacked a unified, glanceable view of their environment's health. They had to jump between logs, alert queues, and multiple dashboards to answer critical questions.
• No single source of truth for agent status: 'Are all endpoint agents online?'
• Limited visibility into detection systems: 'Is our cloud exfiltration detector running?'
• Difficulty identifying compliance gaps: 'Where are the policy compliance gaps?'
• This fractured workflow increased investigation time and risk of missed alerts.

Solutions

• Led discovery workshops and stakeholder interviews to define requirements and map user journeys for on-call analysts and security leads.
• Designed a unified card with clear status indicators (healthy/warning/critical) and interactive drill-downs for detailed investigation.
• Created a cohesive badge system with color, iconography, and states for at-a-glance status understanding.

Users

• Security Analysts
• IT Administrators
• CISOs and Security Managers

Key Learnings

• Hand-off time decreased by 25% as analysts no longer needed to context-switch between multiple tools to assess environment health.
• Escalations reduced by 15% due to clear status indicators that helped catch issues before they became critical.
• "Having all key metrics in one card let us spot and respond to data-exfil risks in seconds." – Incydr Security Lead
