Snapsec - Asset Inventory Management

There is a great saying in cybersecurity: "Anything you can't see, you can't secure." In an ever-evolving threat landscape, gaining visibility into your organization's assets is more crucial than ever. So Asset Inventory Management (AIM) solutions are designed to provide comprehensive insights and oversight of all assets, ensuring you can effectively identify, monitor, and secure your digital environment.

AIM in Snapsec Suite

Understanding the importance of a centralized AIM solution in current threat landscape, we have developed an Asset Inventory Management solution within the Snapsec Suite which serves as a centralized hub for all your organizational assets. Our unified solution enables you to seamlessly integrate assets from diverse sources, including third-party solutions and manual imports. By consolidating asset information in a single location, the AIM solution eliminates the need to navigate multiple security tools, streamlining your security operations and enhancing efficiency.

AIM Dashboard

The Asset Inventory dashboard within the Snapsec Suite offers a centralized interface for managing and monitoring your IT assets. It provides a comprehensive overview of your asset landscape, including subdomains, IP addresses, repositories, certificates, employees, applications, DNS records, and more.

The dashboard's top section presents a concise summary of the total number of assets in each category, allowing you to quickly assess the overall asset landscape.
The Recent Activities section highlights the latest changes and potential issues, such as comments added or integration failures. The Adapters section displays the various integrated adapters, including Open Source Adapters, Adapters that connect with your internal solutions, and file Adapters etc that feed data into the system.

The Asset Distribution section visually represents the distribution of assets across different categories, helping identify areas with high asset concentration and potential security risks.

The Top Tech Stack section highlights the most commonly used technologies, aiding in vulnerability identification and optimization. This dashboard empowers you to gain a comprehensive view of your IT assets, identify potential security risks, monitor asset changes and activities, and make informed decisions about asset management and security.

Detailed Assets Dashboard

Our Asset Dashboard is designed to centralize various asset types collected from multiple adapters, ensuring a unified overview of your organization’s assets in one accessible location. We collect assets from diverse origins, including open-source data, DNS resolutions, and internal SaaS solutions like Cloudflare, ManageEngine and other Cloud Management Portals. This centralization allows us to consolidate all asset information in one place, simplifying management and enhancing visibility into your digital landscape.

Our Asset Dashboard provides essential features such as:

1. Data Aggregation:

The aggregation of data plays a crucial role in providing meaningful insights and facilitating risk management as you are able to view and analyze your different types of assets such as subdomains, APIs, IP Addresses, Employees etc at the same page. This consolidation empowers you to easily identify and manage all assets, regardless of their source or type. For instance, once you connect your Cloudflare Adapter, you can fetch your data from Cloudflare into the AIM dashboard.

2. Asset Vulnerabilities :

By adding our Vulnerability Management Solution to the AIM, users not only can view the assets themselves but also their associated risks in a comprehensive manner, allowing for more informed decisions regarding security priorities and mitigation strategies. By linking vulnerability data directly to each asset, we empower organizations to take proactive measures in safeguarding their digital assets.

3. Asset Co-Relation:

Our AIM solution creates a visual map that shows how your different assets are connected to each other. This map helps you understand the relationships between your subdomains, IP addresses, APIs, and other critical assets. By seeing these connections, you can gain a better understanding of your entire IT landscape. For example, you can see which assets are most critical and how they interact with each other. This knowledge helps you make more informed decisions about your security posture and prioritize your security efforts.

4. Active Collaboration:

You can facilitate seamless communication and collaboration among team members through integrated chat and commenting features within our AIM solution. This streamlined communication accelerates decision-making by enabling real-time discussions and providing guidance or strategies to manage your assets. Maintain a clear audit trail of all asset-related activities and changes, ensuring accountability and transparency. By creating a centralized repository of knowledge and best practices related to asset management, you foster a culture of shared learning and continuous improvement within your security team.
