interactive reports that appear on the Dashboard page of the SecurityCenter. They provide
summary and overview information about your account’s protection status, activity, and
subscriptions. Some widgets provide links to associated portals or subscription-related tasks.
You can add new widgets, remove widgets, and customize the way widgets appear.
