Functions

Deployments

The Deployments function shows you the status of your application deployments based on Impact Level. You'll see the intended impact level, the cloud service provider (GCP coming soon), and the status of the deployment and security review process.

The dropdown menu displays basic application information and Implementation milestone dates. Learn more about the Implementation Process

System Security Plans

Every deployment of your application will require a dedicated System Security Plan (SSP). This panel allows you to create new and edit existing SSPs.

Services

The Services panel shows you the latest status of all your application components.

From this panel, you can:
- View your Latest Pipeline
- Check out security scans in Scan Lab
- Deploy your containers to the staging and production environments

Pipelines and Vulnerabilities

Under the Latest Pipeline column, click on the green check mark or red x to reveal the current image version number and its pipeline status. Each time you push an image, it appears in the Latest Pipeline section. A pipeline is a set of automated tasks. Pipelines represent image progression within the scanning and hardening processes. You can click the Pipeline button to retrieve detailed insight to include historical pipeline information as well as download artifacts.

Vulnerabilities are specific to a single pipeline and include security findings, which require your attention. Selecting the number of security findings launches you to the Scan Lab page.

New Applications

To get started with a new application, click the + New Application button. The pop-up modal will ask you to name your application.

Clicking the Create button will add new fields to your App Central page. Scroll down and you will see your newly created application with three fields: Deployments, System Security Plans, and Services.

• You can begin working on your System Security Plan at any time.
• Provide your Technical Implementation Manager a list of your application components and we'll add those to your new application.
