Interno: Metrics & Glossary

Interno: Metrics & Glossary

Overview

A reference for the terms and the standard KPI widgets you will meet in Interno, the Zeron Command Center.


Prerequisites

  • Access to Interno
  • At least one integration connected, so the terms below have data behind them

Platform and Navigation

TermWhat it means
DashboardA saved arrangement of widgets. You can have many; one can be marked as your default so it opens first.
Asset InventoryThe consolidated view of assets from your connected sources. It has three tabs: Assets Listing, Asset Coverage Matrix and User Access Coverage.
Assets ListingThe table of collected records for one source at a time, with filters, column choices and a CSV export.
SourceOne collected data set — one ZCN_ table — chosen from the Source: dropdown in Asset Inventory or the Source dropdown in Manual Ingestion.
Asset Coverage MatrixA grid showing which of your connected tools has seen each asset — so you can spot assets only one tool knows about. A dropdown switches between Asset Coverage Matrix by Host, by IP and by Domain.
User Access CoverageA grid of users against connected sources, plus a per-user access graph.
IntegrationA configured connection to an external tool (an EDR, cloud provider, ITSM system and so on) that pulls its data into Interno on a schedule or on demand.
ConnectorA tool in the Integrations catalogue. A connector does nothing until you save a credential for it.
CredentialOne saved set of sign-in details for a connector, with a permanent name. A connector can have several.
ScanOne collection run for one credential. Its status is Processing, Completed or Failed. The first scan starts when the credential is saved; later ones run on a schedule or when you click Start Scan.
DeactivatedA credential that is kept, with its history, but left out of automatic scanning.
Manual IngestionUploading data by file when no connector covers it. Excel .xlsx workbooks only, built from a downloaded template and loaded only after a reviewer approves them.
Query LibraryWhere saved items live, under three tabs: Widget, Evidence and Alert.
Evidence QueryA saved query whose result is used as compliance evidence, shared with Conformity.
WidgetOne visualisation — a chart, a table, a KPI card or a standard KPI panel — driven by a query.
Risk RegisterWhere risks are tracked through the four-step workflow: Risk Initiation, Risk Scoring & Prioritization, Risk Management, Risk Closure.
Treatment StatusWhere a risk stands: Pending, Planning, In Progress, On Hold, Waived or Completed.
Risk ExposureThe figure worked out on the scoring step from Risk Likelihood and Risk Impact. Residual Risk Exposure is the same figure after treatment.
ZIN AdvisorInterno's AI assistant chat, reached from the sidebar. Present on Zeron-hosted (SaaS) environments only.
ZIN DashboardA dashboard generated by AI from a prompt you type, rather than assembled by hand.

Data Terms

TermWhat it means
ZCN_ tableInterno normalises every connector's records into shared tables named ZCN_<TYPE> — for example ZCN_DEVICES, ZCN_USERS, ZCN_VULNERABILITIES.
ZCN_SOURCEWhich tool a record came from. Group or filter by this to compare tools.
ZCN_IS_LATESTMarks the newest snapshot of a record. Filter to 1 so you count current state instead of history.
ZCN_COLLECTED_ATWhen the record was collected. Use it for trends over time.
ZCN_CREDENTIAL_IDWhich integration credential collected the record. Manual uploads carry manual.
Custom columnA column whose name ends in a double underscore, added through a Manual Ingestion workbook.
Data DictionaryThe searchable drawer in the widget builder that lists every available field with a plain-language label, and inserts it into your query.

Access Terms

TermWhat it means
ScopeA single permission string, such as defence:dashboard:view. Missing the scope a page needs gives you an Unauthorized screen.
PolicyA bundle of scopes.
GroupA bundle of policies. Adding users to groups is the recommended way to manage access.

Standard KPI Widgets

Interno ships with fourteen standard KPI widgets you can place on a dashboard. Unlike a chart you build yourself, each one is a purpose-built panel.

KPI widgetWhat it covers
Compliance ScoreRegulatory compliance and audit readiness
Breach ProbabilityBreach risk and threat exposure
Z-Score AnalysisStatistical anomalies and deviations from the norm
Patches HeapPatch management and outstanding updates
Mitigation EfficiencyEffectiveness of your security controls
Risk Posture TrendHow risk evolves over time
Upcoming AuditAudit schedules and compliance deadlines
Budget AnalysisSecurity budget and financial insight
Security Program MaturityMaturity of your security programme
Risk Tolerance & Risk AppetiteRisk thresholds and appetite
Privileged Access AnomaliesSuspicious privileged-access patterns
MFA Coverage GapsAccounts and systems missing multi-factor authentication
Data ExfiltrationUnauthorised data-transfer activity
Unmanaged Asset GrowthGrowth of shadow or unmanaged assets

Alongside these there are three coverage-matrix panels — Asset Coverage Matrix by Host, by IP and by Domain — which show which of your sources has seen each host, address or domain. They are what the Asset Coverage Matrix tab renders.


Troubleshooting

A KPI widget shows nothing → Standard widgets depend on the underlying ZCN_ tables being populated. Connect the integration that supplies that data type and let it finish a scan.

My counts look too high → You are probably counting historical snapshots. Add ZCN_IS_LATEST = 1 to the query.

A term used in my dashboard is not in this list → Widget titles are set by whoever created the widget, so custom widgets can carry any name. Open the widget's query to see exactly what it measures.
