Query engine

Search potential compliance and security vulnerabilities using automated query options to report status, history and trends within a specified time frame.
Kyndryl Modern Operations Applications—Compliance and Security Operations defaults to a dashboard containing a matrix of graphical elements displaying compliance and security posture data for an at-a-glance assessment of your hybrid IT estate (cloud and on-prem resources). Complementing this quick assessment dashboard is a query feature that reports vulnerabilities within a specified time frame.
This query feature enables long-term assessment using tabular data, which is more easily quantifiable and actionable than its graphical counterparts.

Navigating to the Query engine

Below the main Compliance and Security Operations main menu, are three options:
  • Dashboard (default):
     Provides various displays
  • Query Builder (search)
  • Configuration
    : Provides links to data collection engine for detailed data analysis.
Select
Query Builder.
