Asset Inventory
Overview
DeepTraQ Asset Management provides a centralized inventory of all digital assets across your infrastructure. It enables security teams to maintain full visibility of systems, services, and software running in the environment.
Through continuous asset discovery and monitoring, DeepTraQ consolidates infrastructure resources into a single unified view. This allows organizations to quickly identify unknown assets, track software usage, and understand their overall security exposure.
The asset inventory provides actionable insights by transforming raw asset data into meaningful security intelligence. Security teams can quickly identify potential risks, outdated software, and configuration gaps across the environment.
Supported Platforms
Asset discovery and inventory management in DeepTraQ supports assets discovered from:
- Cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud)
- Public-facing infrastructure assets
- Applications and services discovered through scanning
- Software products identified across systems
The platform consolidates these assets into a unified inventory for analysis and monitoring.
Prerequisites
- DeepTraQ environment must be configured.
- At least one discovery source such as cloud connectors, scans, or integrations must be enabled.
- Asset discovery or scanning must have been executed to populate the inventory.
Asset Inventory
The Asset Inventory provides a centralized view of all discovered digital assets. Each asset represents a resource within the organization’s infrastructure, such as hosts, applications, domains, or services.
This unified view enables teams to understand the scope of their infrastructure and maintain continuous visibility across environments.
Key capabilities include:
- Viewing all assets from a single dashboard
- Identifying newly discovered resources
- Monitoring asset changes over time
- Understanding the security posture of infrastructure components
Asset Filtering and Custom Views
DeepTraQ provides powerful filtering capabilities that allow users to quickly narrow down large asset inventories.
Filters help security teams locate relevant assets within seconds, even when managing thousands of infrastructure resources.
Users can filter assets based on:
- Asset type
- Categories
- Discovery source
- Security attributes
- Product or software information
Custom views allow teams to focus only on the assets relevant to their current investigation or operational task.
Asset Inventory Controls
The dashboard provides several controls to manage and analyze asset data efficiently.
Users can refresh the asset inventory to update the asset list with newly discovered resources. This ensures the inventory reflects the most current infrastructure state.
Users can also switch to broader views to analyze asset distribution across the entire environment, enabling better visibility into the organization’s attack surface.
Product Inventory
The Product Inventory provides insight into the software and services running across the infrastructure.
This view helps security teams understand what technologies are deployed and identify potential risks related to outdated or unsupported products.
Product inventory analysis helps detect:
- Outdated software versions
- Unlicensed or unmanaged software
- Products with known vulnerabilities
- Technology stacks used across environments
Intelligent filtering can be applied to quickly identify products requiring attention or remediation.
Summary Dashboard
The Summary Dashboard aggregates asset and product data into high-level security insights.
It provides an overview of the organization’s asset landscape and helps teams quickly evaluate their security coverage.
Key insights may include:
- Total number of assets discovered
- Asset distribution across categories
- Software inventory visibility
- Indicators of potential security gaps
This summary enables security teams to quickly identify areas requiring further investigation.
Steps
- Navigate to the Assets section in the DeepTraQ dashboard.
- Review the Asset Inventory to view all discovered digital assets.
- Apply filters to narrow down the asset list based on relevant criteria.
- Customize the asset view to focus on specific asset categories.
- Refresh the inventory to update asset discovery results.
- Navigate to Product Inventory to review software and services running across the infrastructure.
- Use the Summary Dashboard to analyze high-level asset insights and security coverage.
