How do I discover new assets?

Understanding and maintaining awareness of your assets is crucial for ensuring security. Various techniques are available to help you identify and manage different types of assets effectively.

Network assets
Run discovery scans of your networks to ensure you have identified all assets in your environment. 
For external environments, you can use the external scan resources from Holm Security to simulate visibility and accessibility across your networks. 
You have scanner appliances for internal or local networks at your disposal, which you can strategically install to cover all your internal networks, no matter how segmented they are!
The scan automatically adds assets deemed active to your asset manager, which you can then use to scan for vulnerabilities.

Web  Assets
When a network scan is run and identifies a host as having web services, the host is automatically marked as being ready to be added to the catalog. All web surfaces in the catalog can be added as web application assets and scanned with vulnerability scanning.

Domain Asset Discovery

You can discover domains that you were unaware of by utilizing the domain asset discovery feature. It automatically checks for subdomains on the internet that match the domains you own. The newly discovered domains can then be added to your security center as an asset and worked with through vulnerability scans.
