Vulnerability Management - Asset Identifiers

Asset Identification is the process of matching a set of attributes collected by a sensor to an existing asset.

Modern IT environments encompass on-premise, cloud infrastructure, mobile devices, ephemeral and transient assets, web applications, IoT devices, and more. Asset identification of all connected assets within an organization is a common baseline requirement in a number of security standards, such as NIST Special Publication 800-53 or General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
