Unified View Assets
Purpose
This document describes Assets.
Introduction
Assets are uniquely identified either physical or virtual devices and IT resources like, servers, laptops, containers, container images, cloud accounts etc.
These assets are currently sourced from other Outpost24 offerings:
- Outpost24 Netsec
- Outpost24 Appsec
- Outpost24 Cloudsec
Since the risks associated with those assets contribute to the overall security posture of the business, the Assets view provides a quick way of assessing the criticality of the assets and helps with the prioritization efforts.
Asset Groups
Collections of Assets can be grouped together into Asset Groups and contain grouping rules that can be used to group assets in a way that makes most sense to the organization. A typical use of an Asset Group is to group assets that belong to the same web application.
See the Unified View Asset Groups document for more information about AppStaks.
One asset can belong to several Asset Groups.
AppStaks
Collections of Assets can be grouped together into AppStaks and contain grouping rules that can be used to group assets in a way that makes most sense to the business. A typical use of an AppStak is to group assets that belong to the same web application, business function or a system.
See the Unified View AppStaks document for more information about AppStaks.
One Assets or Asset Group can belong to several AppStaks.

The Overall Risk provides a quick overview of the risk grades on a scale from A to F where F represents the most critical risks.
Statistics
Remediation is an average of days between the first day a finding was detected and the last day for all findings belonging to an asset.
The Aging card shows the average time past from the first occurrence of the finding in each risk grade from your scans.
