Infrastructure: Assets

The Assets tab in the Infrastructure page [ Attack Surface ➔ Infrastructure ➔ Assets] in the Security Posture Management application shows assets that are attributed to your organization. It provides a detailed view by listing individual IP addresses and specific subdomains.

Why do assets appear and disappear?

• Only actively observed IP addresses are presented.
• Assets may temporarily disappear from the Assets tab if asset importance (which is recalculated daily based on system usage, sensitivity, and other factors) is of lower-importance.

Use the Assets tab to:

• See externally-facing infrastructure attributed to the organization.
• Select a particular asset to get findings that are associated with that asset.
• Sort by the total number of findings to see which asset has the most findings.
• Refer to asset importance for estimating the importance of the underlying IP or domain/host to the organization.
• Select a row to see asset attribution details.
