Deploy Panoptica

When you first log into Panoptica, you won't see much. The Dashboard Widgets, Prioritization Funnel, and other features are waiting for your data to start providing you with valuable security information. Here's the part where you start onboarding your assets (AWS, Azure, GCP, and/or Kubernetes); deploying our API Security controller; and connecting your SCM pipeline.

But first, we recommend reading through the Help Center page to learn about Panoptica's capabilities and how to use this documentation to get the most out of what Panoptica has to offer.
