Getting started

If you are new to Strikepoint, start here before jumping into route-specific guides.

What to expect after sign-in

After you sign in, you land in the authenticated dashboard. The sidebar is the fastest way to understand which parts of the product your account can use. Common destinations include:
  • Dashboard for analytics, recent engagements, and recent reports
  • Customers for customer records and points of contact
  • Engagements for live work, findings, endpoints, credentials, and report launch points
  • Reports for one-off draft creation, report automation, and report status tracking
  • Account for profile updates, password changes, and two-factor authentication

Understand permission differences early

Examples:
  • You can view Reports only if your role includes engagement-detail visibility.
  • You can create new report drafts only if your role can generate reports.
  • You can manage Templates, Snippets, Teams, Operators, or Playbooks only if your role is elevated enough for those libraries.
  • You can open Security Tools only if you are authorized to use penetration-testing tools.
