SATAYO Platform¶
The header of the SATAYO web interface is always visible, on every page. It contains tools that work across the entire SATAYO, not just on one page. Use these tools to choose which data you see, and to find your way around SATAYO.

The right side of the header contains the following tools, from left to right:

Choose Organization¶
All the data in SATAYO belongs to an organization. Use the organization selector in the header to choose which data you see. If you have access to more than one organization, you can select:
a single organization, when you want to focus on one monitored perimeter;
All organizations, when you want an aggregated overview of all the organizations available to you.
To change the selection:
Choose the organization selector in the header. It shows the name of the current selection, for example All organizations, and opens a list.
Optionally, type a part of the name in the Search field to filter the list.
Select an organization, or All organizations at the top of the list.
The selection applies to all the pages that show data, such as the Dashboard and the findings. It remains when you move from one page to another. The selection is also part of the URL of the page, so you can bookmark or share the URL to open the same view again.
Note
When the time machine is active, the list shows the organizations that existed on the selected day.
View Past Data¶
The time machine lets you travel back in time, using the history of your data kept by SATAYO. When you select a day in the past, the pages show your attack surface and your findings as SATAYO saw them on that day.
Use the time machine to:
check what your exposure looked like before a change, for example before an incident or before a remediation activity;
compare the situation of today to what it was a week or a month ago;
find out when a finding appeared, or when it was closed.
The time machine will not change your data. You can use it as many times as you want, and you can leave it at any time.
Open the Time Machine¶
Select the Time machine button in the header, which will open a panel containing:
Quick select: the buttons 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 1 month go back by that period from today.
Select a date: a field in which you type a date (
dd/mm/yyyy) or pick a day in a calendar.Recent dates: the days that you have used previously. Select one to use it again. This list appears only after you have used the time machine at least once.
Travel to a Day in the Past¶
Select one of the Quick select buttons to go back by a fixed period. To choose any other day, pick it in the date field and select Save.
Fig. 250 Choosing a day in the calendar¶
You can select any day up to yesterday. There is no limit for past dates, but SATAYO has data only from the time when it started to monitor your organization. To see the data for today, leave the time machine.
Note
SATAYO shows the data as it was at the end of the selected day (23:59:59), in the time zone of your browser.
Know That the Time Machine Is Active¶
When the time machine is active, the header shows it in two ways:
the button changes to Time traveling to and the selected date, and it is highlighted with a glow;
a notice Time machine is active appears next to it. Select the x icon to dismiss the notice. The button stays as it is, so you always see that you are looking at the past.

Warning
While the time machine is active, the numbers on the pages are not the current ones. Before you make a decision, check the date in the header.
Change the Day¶
Open the time machine again and choose another day. The tables go back to the first page when the date changes.
Leave the Time Machine¶
Select the Time traveling to button, and then select Clear. The pages show the current data again.

What Changes with the Time Machine¶
The date applies to all the pages that show your data. This includes the Dashboard panels, the findings and their details, and the tickets.
The following rules apply:
Organizations. The organization selector shows the organizations that existed on the selected day. If the organization that you selected did not exist yet, SATAYO automatically selects All organizations. A finding of an organization that did not exist yet will not be shown.
Your access. The time machine uses your current permissions. It never gives you access to more data than you have today. If an access was removed after the selected day, you will not see that data.
Settings. The Settings pages always show the current configuration. The selected date stays active, and it applies again when you return to a page with data.
Reference data. Some data has no history, for example the catalog of the CVEs. These pages show the current values.
Tip
The date is part of the URL of the page. Copy the URL to give a colleague the same view of the same day. The date also stays when you move between pages and when you reload the page.
Search Findings¶
Use the search in the header to find all the findings that match a value, without opening the Findings page first. The search looks through all findings in SATAYO.
Select the Search icon in the header, or press Ctrl + Shift + F, and type at least three characters. The search shows a list of the matching findings, with the matching value and the type of each finding.
Select Show all to see all the matching findings on the Findings page, or select one finding to open it there with its details already shown. Press Esc to close the search.
Open Settings¶
Select the Settings (gear) icon in the header to open the Settings area, which shows how SATAYO is configured for your tenant and all its organizations. Only users with the Tenant Admin role see this icon. For details, see Settings.
