Security Dashboard: leveraging sparklines to show vulnerability trends

Problem

Line graph shows vulnerabilities in a comparison display. The data-visualized should display trends, not a comparison of different severities with each other.

Solution

Leverage sparklines on individual severities to display trends over time.
