OVERVIEW
Kronos is a cybersecurity solution for mid-sized and large organizations, offering SOC teams a unified platform to streamline security operations. It consolidates fragmented processes into an end-to-end workflow for investigating, discovering, and addressing threats.
My work focused on enhancing the prominence and functionality of vulnerability management and introducing new dashboards and customization tools to give users clearer insights and greater control.
IMPACT
Reduced clicks to prioritize critical issues from 15+ → 5
Automated 70% of recurring report generation with scheduling tools
Made vulnerability management one of the most adopted modules within Kronos
MY ROLE
As lead UX designer for vulnerability management, I structured new features and processes directly from client-provided challenges and data points. I analyzed the importance of each metric to create clear hierarchies, and collaborated with visual designers to iterate over 30 dashboard concepts within the existing design language.
OPPORTUNITY #1
Identifying and prioritizing critical vulnerabilities was slow and scattered
To tame the flood of vulnerability lists, we built a flexible system for grouping, filtering, and sorting. Users could now categorize and classify lists based on organizational priorities, making it easy to focus on what mattered most.
Vulnerability Lists
Vulnerability Lists: Applying Rules
Vulnerability Lists: Prioritization Settings
OPPORTUNITY #2
Customization of scans and reports was rigid and inefficient
Reports and scans drive daily cybersecurity work, but teams lacked control over how they were generated. We enabled recurring or one-time scheduling, adjustable frequency, and customizable distribution, streamlining an otherwise manual process.

OPPORTUNITY #3
Dashboards failed to highlight urgency and severity at a glance
The prioritization dashboard needed to stand out as the “control tower” for vulnerabilities. Through 30+ wireframes and data visualization explorations, we created a single-screen view that surfaced all key information without scrolling, emphasizing urgency and enabling faster triage.
