Preferences

Customize your AttackLens experience with display and notification settings. Preferences are stored per user and do not affect other team members.

Accessing Preferences

Click your avatar or name in the top-right corner of the application, then select Preferences from the dropdown menu.

Display Settings

Theme

Choose the visual theme for the AttackLens interface:

Theme	Description
Light	Light background with dark text. Best for bright environments and daytime use.
Dark	Dark background with light text. Reduces eye strain in low-light environments and on OLED displays.
System (default)	Automatically matches your operating system's theme setting. If your OS switches between light and dark mode based on time of day, AttackLens follows along.

To change the theme:

1. In the Theme section, select your preferred option.
2. The theme changes immediately -- no save button required.

TIP

The Dark theme is particularly useful for security operations teams who monitor dashboards for extended periods. It reduces eye fatigue during long shifts.

Language

Select the display language for the AttackLens interface. This changes all UI labels, navigation items, button text, and system messages.

Language	Code
English (default)	en

INFO

Additional languages will be available in future releases. The interface currently supports English. Security content (policies, rulesets, finding descriptions) is always in English regardless of the language setting.

To change the language:

1. In the Language section, select your preferred language from the dropdown.
2. Click Save.
3. The page reloads with the selected language.

Notification Settings

Configure how AttackLens notifies you about events and changes. Notifications appear as in-app alerts in the notification bell icon in the top navigation bar.

Available Notifications

Notification	Description	Default
Finding Alerts	Notify when new critical or high severity findings are discovered on assets you are responsible for.	Enabled
Discovery Completions	Notify when a discovery sync finishes, including summary of discovered resources.	Enabled
System Updates	Notify when new platform component updates or feed updates are available.	Enabled
Sensor Status Changes	Notify when a sensor linked to your assets goes offline or comes back online.	Enabled
Vulnerability Alerts	Notify when new critical vulnerabilities are correlated to assets in your scope.	Enabled

Enabling or Disabling Notifications

For each notification type:

1. Toggle the switch to On or Off.
2. Click Save.

INFO

Notifications are delivered as in-app alerts only. Email notifications are on the roadmap for a future release.

Saving Preferences

Some preferences (like theme) apply immediately. Others (like language and notification settings) require clicking the Save button at the bottom of the page.

A confirmation message appears when preferences are saved successfully.

Preferences vs. Settings

	Preferences	Settings
Scope	Per user -- affects only your experience.	Organization-wide -- affects all users.
Access	All users can modify their own preferences.	Requires Admin or Super Admin role.
Examples	Theme, language, notifications.	Attack graph config, SSO, feed sync, audit logs.

Your preferences do not affect how AttackLens collects data, evaluates posture, or builds the attack graph. They only control your personal viewing and notification experience.
