Canvases

Canvases are an AI-powered way to transform your security data into fully customizable interactive interfaces. Think of it as a vibe-coding app builder, driven by Sola’s unique capabilities to ingest, understand, and query your security data.

Use natural language prompts to create any interactive dashboard or report with dynamic charts, tables, filters, and other interactive visuals, from your query results and connected data.

Get the exact results you want with unlimited flexibility in layout, customization, colors, fonts, and styles.

Canvases are one of the building blocks that make up an app, alongside queries, alerts, and workflows.

Creating canvases

To create a canvas, click New canvas from the Canvases tab and describe the dashboard or insights you want in a prompt. Sola AI will generate your canvas.

Once the canvas is created, it is automatically published and available to all app members.

Managing canvases

The Canvas Library is where you can access all canvases in your app.

Canvases are live, interactive interfaces that update as you change them. Edits by collaborators are applied in real time and visible to all app members.

Canvases are tied to your connected data, they continuously update to reflect the latest query results and configurations, ensuring insights stay current without manual refresh.

Examples and use cases

Canvases are flexible and support a wide range of security use cases, such as monitoring, tracking, and guiding.

Monitor

Track security posture, exposures, and compliance checks in one place.

For example,

• Cloud Security Posture (CSPM) dashboard.

• Attack Surface Management (ASM) exposure tracking.

• Vulnerability management reports by severity/repo.

Explore

Drill into assets, vulnerabilities, and risks to follow changes over time.

For example,

• Asset inventory boards (with filters and drill-down).

• Threat intel trackers with prioritized IOCs.

• Patch tracking dashboards.

• Access review boards (Okta/Azure AD risky accounts).

Report

Provide high-level summaries and compliance views for leadership and audits.

For example:

• Executive reports highlighting key risks, posture trends, and KPIs.

• Compliance summaries for SOC2/ISO readiness and audit preparation.

• Risk heatmaps and scoring across business units or domains.

• Posture overview dashboards tailored for board or CISO reporting.

Guide

Provide structured security knowledge and step-by-step instructions for teams.

For example,

• Developer onboarding security guides.

• SOC runbooks with step-by-step instructions.

• Secure coding quizzes/games.

• Attack simulation walkthroughs.

FAQs

What kinds of visualizations can I add to a canvas?

Canvases support a wide range of visuals to fit different use cases. You can add dynamic charts (bar, line, pie, stacked), interactive tables, scorecards, and counters for KPIs. Beyond data, canvases also allow you to embed text blocks, images, and layouts—making it possible to build narrative-driven dashboards, security guides, or even fully branded executive reports.

Can I create canvases that combine data from multiple sources?

Yes. Canvases can unify insights from multiple sources in a single view. For example, you can correlate AWS cloud configurations, GitHub repository settings, and Okta identity data side by side to reveal risks, toxic combinations, or compliance gaps across your environment.

Can I share canvases?

Currently, canvases are only visible within your app. No external sharing yet.
