# If you're a security analyst

This guide is for the analyst-level work of operating Seal day-to-day: triaging the vulnerabilities Seal discovers, creating Sealing Rules for the ones that need fixing, monitoring notifications, and producing reports for leadership.

## Where to start

* [How Seal discovers your packages](https://github.com/seal-community/gitbook/blob/main/new-docs/discovering/how-discovery-works.md): what Seal sees and how that picture is built.
* [The Protection page](/new-documentation/new-docs/protection-page.md) and [Package states](/new-documentation/new-docs/package-states.md): the triage view and what each state means.
* [Sealing Rules](https://github.com/seal-community/gitbook/blob/main/new-docs/using-platform/sealing-rules/README.md): how to create the rules that drive the Seal CLI to apply fixes.
* [Notification Center](https://github.com/seal-community/gitbook/blob/main/new-docs/using-platform/notification-center/README.md): configuring what gets surfaced and where, including personal email notifications.
* [Reports Manager](https://github.com/seal-community/gitbook/blob/main/new-docs/using-platform/reports-manager/README.md): building reports for leadership.
* [Seal AI Agent](https://github.com/seal-community/gitbook/blob/main/new-docs/using-platform/seal-ai-agent/README.md): the chatbot in the Seal UI, useful for answering "what's our exposure to X?" without leaving the conversation.
