Dashboard overview
This represents your total SBOMs and vulnerabilities across all time. The date range filter does not apply to these widgets.
Total products all time
This shows the total number of products that you have managed since you began using Helm.
In Helm, you can manage a different SBOM for each product and version, to ensure that you understand and can effectively manage and communicate risk mitigation efforts across your total software supply chain.
Product versions with SBOMs
You can either upload an SBOM .json file, then specify the product and version all in the same step, or you can add your products and versions, then upload an SBOM for each product/version combo. This percentage shows you the number of product versions that you or someone on your team has uploaded SBOMs for.
Vulnerabilities over time
These widgets represent your vulnerabilities for a selected date range. You can view this for all versions within a product or for a particular product version.
Total vulnerabilities
This shows the number of vulnerabilities that you have for the selected criteria.
Critical severity vulnerabilities
This shows the number of critical-level (CVSS score of 9-10) vulnerabilities that you have for the selected criteria.
Unremediated vulnerabilities
This shows the number of unremediated vulnerabilities that you have for the selected criteria.
Top 5 impacted products
Each donut chart represents the total number of vulnerabilities that have been detected in each of your products across all of their respective SBOM components, within the selected date range, products, and versions, as well as the percentage of vulnerabilities in each level of severity.
You can view these widgets across all of your products and versions, or filter down to view particular products and versions.

Top 5 vulnerable dependencies
This shows your top 5 most vulnerable components within the selected date range, products and versions.
Dependency name
This shows the name of the component that is contained within your selected products and versions.
Version
This shows the version for the component that is contained within your selected products and versions.
Supplier
This shows the supplier for the component that is contained within your selected products and versions.
Total vulnerabilities
This shows the total number of vulnerabilities that you have not yet remediated for this component.
Products impacted
This shows the number of your products that are impacted by this component, meaning that the corresponding SBOM contains this component. If you are viewing one product, this will show 1/1, but if you are viewing all of your products, this will show 1/n, with n being your current number of products.
Products impacted %
This shows the number of your products impacted by this component across your selected products. If you are viewing 1 product, this will show 100%, but if you are viewing all of your products, this will show the percentage of your products that are impacted.
Actions
You can click the View button to drill down to view how many times a component is used across your selected products and versions. From the search results, click Jump to product or Jump to vulnerabilities.
If you jump to this product, you’ll be able to see which product and product versions contain that component and version. From the Actions > … button, you can choose to view more details, add a review note, view review history, and more.
If you jump to vulnerabilities for this component, you can view the applicable vulnerabilities. From the Actions > … button, you can manage each vulnerability, including adding review notes and setting the Resolution. If you change this resolution, it will update the Product impact status.
