The Security area in Acquia Edge Standard is where you monitor threats and manage the controls that protect your domains. Use Security Metrics to understand what Edge is blocking or alerting on, and use Rule configuration to tune how your protections behave.

### Security Metrics dashboard

Use Security Metrics to review security activity over time, including

*   Threats mitigated and trends (blocked vs alerted)
    
*   Which protection layers are most active
    
*   Rule‑level insights in Rule Audit, Rule analysis, and Threat discovery
