API Fields: Asset Importance

Asset importance estimates the importance of the underlying IP or domain/host to the organization, as visually depicted in the Asset Risk Matrix.

Values

The None asset importance option can be manually assigned, which then excludes specific assets to provide a more specific prioritization of findings, like Guest Wi-Fi network exit IPs from the Asset Risk Matrix.

Assigned Importance

Users may assign an importance level to assets in their SPM companies (My Company, My Subsidiary, and subscribed companies in the same Ratings Tree as the My Company).

• The importance of user-assigned assets replaces the Bitsight-calculated asset importances any time importances are referenced (e.g., Assets, Asset Risk Matrix on the remediation tab, Attack Surface Analytics charts).
• User-assigned importances are visible to all users in your organization who can see the company where the asset importance was customized. They are not visible to any third parties monitoring your organization.

Types

• User Importance: The user-assigned asset importance.
• Calculated Importance: The Bitsight-calculated asset importance.
