Miami, United States, August 28th, 2025, CyberNewsWire
Halo Security, a leading provider of external risk management solutions, today announced significant platform enhancements designed to give security teams greater flexibility and control within the platform. The new features include custom dashboards, configurable reports, and improved automation capabilities that give organizations better control over how they visualize and manage their exposure data.
“No two organizations are the same, and different team members face different challenges,” said Lisa Dowling, CEO of Halo Security. “A vulnerability analyst needs different insights than a compliance manager, and a CISO requires different views than a security specialist. These updates give every team member the ability to create personalized dashboards and reports that make them more effective at protecting their organizations.”
Key Platform Enhancements
Custom Dashboards with Drag-and-Drop Functionality
Security professionals can now build personalized dashboards using more than a dozen customizable widgets, including risk score trends, critical findings tables, asset distribution charts, and compliance status monitors. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows users to create role-specific views while maintaining the ability to share dashboards across teams and apply global filtering across all custom views.
Configurable Reports for Enhanced Asset Management
The platform now features fully customizable data tables that allow users to select which columns display in their target lists, create multiple saved views for different scenarios, and resize columns to optimize their workflow. Pre-configured views include summary, scan schedule, tag management, and technical details options.
Improved Auto-Tagging with Granular Control
The Halo Security platform now provides more precise control over asset organization. Automations now offer three distinct tagging modes, allowing users to sync, add, or remove tags based on the defined rules. The improved automation system offers better performance and predictability to ensure consistent asset categorization.
Industry Impact
The cybersecurity industry continues to grapple with tool sprawl and workflow inefficiencies that can slow response times to critical security incidents. Security teams often struggle with managing multiple tools and platforms, creating challenges in data correlation and workflow management.
“Security teams shouldn’t have to fight their tools to get the information they need,” said Nick Merritt, VP of Security at Halo Security. “These customization features let our customers organize their data the way they think about it and take control of how they interact with the security data we collect.”
Availability
The new customization features are immediately available to all Halo Security customers at no additional cost. Organizations using the platform can access custom dashboard creation through their existing accounts, with shared configurations automatically synchronized across team members.
