Assets¶
The Assets area provides visibility into all asset types managed within the platform. This includes cloud assets synced from your environment as well as alternative asset types used for reporting and advanced workflows.
Asset Types¶
Assets are filtered by type using the sidebar. The main asset types include:
- Cloud Assets - resources synced from your cloud environment (e.g. EC2 instances, S3 buckets, RDS databases). These are used for associating issues such as vulnerabilities and configuration findings back to the specific resources they affect.
- Capability - organizational or system capabilities tracked within the platform
- Components - system components documented for inventory and boundary reporting
- Containers - container-based resources tracked within the environment
- Interfaces - system interfaces and integration points
- Implemented Requirements - control implementation records used in compliance reporting and advanced platform workflows
Usage¶
Cloud assets are the primary working set for most agents, providing the link between scan findings and the actual resources in your environment. The other asset types support compliance reporting, inventory documentation, and automated workflows within the platform such as mapping implemented requirements to controls and generating authorization package artifacts.
