Network Assets
Network assets refer to the infrastructure components that provide connectivity, traffic flow, and network-level security for your environment. These assets do not run business workloads themselves; instead, they enable systems, applications, and users to communicate securely and reliably.
The Network tab provides all network-related assets discovered across your environment. You can view network assets identified from supported cloud providers and platforms, such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. Each network asset is presented with key contextual details, including criticality, provider, asset type, location, IP and MAC addresses, discovery sources, and applied tags.
For each network asset, the following information is displayed:
| Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name / ID | The name or unique identifier of the network asset. |
| Criticality | The Asset Criticality Score (ACS) assigned to the network asset. |
| TruRisk™ Score | The TruRisk™ score associated with the network asset. |
| Asset Type | The specific network asset type. |
| Service Name | The cloud service to which the network asset belongs (for example, VPC service, Load Balancer service). |
