Safeguard on Apple TV and Samsung TV: a dashboard for the wall

How a TV in the security operations room can show Safeguard, what belongs on a wall display, and what to keep off it.

Operations rooms have always had screens on the wall. The question is what should be on them. Safeguard is available on Apple TV and Samsung TV, so the same view your team uses can sit where everyone can see it.

For the current builds and supported models, use the download page.

What it is

A wall display is for awareness, not for work. Nobody investigates from a TV across the room. People glance at it and learn that things are normal, or that they are not.

That shapes what to put there. A good wall view answers one question in a second: do we need to do something right now?

How to use it

  1. Install Safeguard on the TV from the download page guidance for your device.
  2. Sign in with an account dedicated to the display, not a person's account.
  3. Choose the view the room should watch.

Use a least-privilege account for the display. A screen in a shared space can be seen by visitors, so it should only be able to show what you are comfortable showing.

What belongs on the wall

  • Open critical findings and how that number is moving.
  • Known exploited vulnerabilities affecting your products.
  • The state of scans and gates across projects.
  • Anything that is currently on fire.

What should stay off it

  • Customer names and anything covered by an agreement.
  • Credentials, tokens and secrets findings in detail.
  • Vulnerability detail that would help an attacker walking past.

If you are unsure whether something is safe on a wall, it is not. Show counts and status, and keep the detail in the app.

Try it yourself

Stand at the back of your team's room and picture a screen. Write down the three numbers you would want to see from there. Then check whether you can get each one today. If you can, that is your wall view.

Quick check

Why use a dedicated account for a wall display?

So the screen shows only what you chose to show, and so nobody's personal access is exposed on a shared display.
