> 📝 Summary Reports has been renamed to Scheduled Reports and relocated in the Infoblox Portal to **Security** > **Reports** > **Summary Reports**. For information, see *[Scheduling Reports](https://docs.infoblox.com/space/BloxOneCloud/1670316279/Scheduling+Reports)*.

Infoblox summary reports provide high-level cyber-security information. They deliver highly informative visuals and key metrics in a form that is easy to read and understand and that impacts the business directly. Infoblox provides two summary reports:

- **Executive Summary Report**: The *Executive Summary Report* provides the state of the business and its cybersecurity efforts. Infoblox delivers this report to stakeholders who are not technical consumers. The recipients of this report can incorporate its graphics and visuals into other reports and presentations.
- **Comprehensive Security Report**: The *Comprehensive Security Report* consists of a high-level roll-up and supports visual data and key findings of activity across an organization's network. The information can be downloaded as a PDF and does not require executive staff members to access the Infoblox Portal in order to access it. The high-level data in the report will help non-IT staff understand key Information Security metrics.

> ⚠️ **Note: **All report data is obtained from your organization's security policy with the exception of lookalike data, which is obtained from your organization's lookalike configuration.

Summary reports are available to subscribers of Infoblox Threat Defense Business Cloud and Infoblox Threat Defense Advanced. The *Executive Summary Report* is not available for Infoblox Threat Defense Essentials or for Infoblox Threat Defense Business On-Premises subscribers.
