Space-saving layout

The main menu is now at the top of your screen.

New Partner main menu.

Our new layout saves space so you can focus on day-to-day tasks. We only show more detailed menus when you need them.

When you look at the dashboard, check alerts, or view logs, you now get the full-screen experience. There's no left menu on these pages.

Easy-to-use My Business menu

You can now find all your customer and firewall management pages in one place, the My Business menu. This menu still lets you access Partner Portal marketing and pricing pages as well.

When you go to My Business and select Customers or Firewalls, you see the configuration pages listed in a handy slide-out menu.
