1. SEG Dashboard

πŸ“– Overview

The SEG Dashboard (Secure Email Gateway Dashboard) provides a centralized view of your email security posture. It displays live analytics, user activities, and threat intelligence associated with the inbound and outbound email traffic passing through ShieldsGuard’s filtering infrastructure.

This dashboard acts as the command center for monitoring phishing, malware, spam, and content policy enforcement in real time.
