External Assets
- Ryan Seymour
Analytics
You can find this module at the Global and Company levels.
The configuration for external assets is available only at the company level, while the profiles and results can be accessed at both the global and company levels.
External assets refer to assets(s) that exist outside the local network. These scans target the areas of your IT ecosystem that are exposed to the internet or are otherwise not restricted to your internal users or systems. They can include websites, ports, services, networks, systems, and applications that need to be accessed by external users or customers.
A common external asset for a company is its public website/domain.
