​
Overview

The Lifecycle Management module allows teams to control how assets transition across different operational states — from staging to decommissioning — while maintaining full visibility and context. It ensures assets are never lost, supports recovery when needed, and preserves security and ownership data across the entire lifecycle.

​
Staged Assets

Empty state indicating no assets are currently staged

The Staged section acts as a holding layer for assets that are identified but not yet active.

​
Key Behavior

  • Assets can be reviewed before activation
  • Prevents unverified assets from entering active inventory
  • Displays an empty state when no assets are staged

​
Decommissioned Inventory

Decommissioned inventory showing asset details, ownership, vulnerabilities, and lifecycle metadata

The Decommissioned section stores assets that are no longer active but are retained for visibility and audit purposes.

​
What You Can See

  • Asset name and type
  • Active vulnerabilities at time of decommission
  • Owner and ownership details
  • Who decommissioned the asset
  • Decommission date

​
Restoring Assets

Restore action available from the asset menu

Assets in the decommissioned state can be restored at any time.

​
How It Works

  1. Click the three-dot menu (⋯)
  2. Select Restore
  3. Asset returns to active inventory
This ensures no asset is permanently lost and historical context remains intact.

​
Lifecycle State Control

Lifecycle state selector with Active, Pending, Staged, and Decommissioned options

Each asset is assigned a lifecycle state that defines its operational status.

​
Available States

  • Active — Fully operational and monitored
  • Pending — Newly discovered and under review
  • Staged — Prepared but not yet active
  • Decommissioned — Retired but retained for visibility

​
General Asset Information

Asset overview including type, value, environment, and detection timeline

Provides core metadata required to understand the asset.

​
Includes

  • Asset ID and type
  • Asset value (domain/IP)
  • Environment classification
  • Internal vs external designation
  • Associated assets
  • First and last detection timestamps

​
Subdomain & Exposure Details

Subdomain details showing status, reachability, and WAF detection

Gives visibility into how the asset behaves externally.

​
Key Insights

  • HTTP status code
  • External reachability
  • WAF presence and provider
  • Network scope

​
Ownership & Accountability

Ownership details including assigned user, team, and department

Every asset is mapped to an owner to ensure accountability.

​
Includes

  • Assigned user
  • Team
  • Department
  • Custom assignment status

​
Location & Infrastructure Data

Geolocation, ISP, ASN, and infrastructure metadata

Provides infrastructure-level intelligence about the asset.

​
Data Points

  • City, region, country
  • Latitude and longitude
  • ISP and ASN
  • Organization and timezone
  • IP version and exposure

​
Security Overview

Security panel showing vulnerabilities, severity distribution, and remediation metrics

Summarizes the security posture of the asset.

​
Includes

  • Total vulnerabilities
  • Severity breakdown (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Info)
  • Open vs closed vulnerabilities
  • Aggregate CVSS score
  • Remediation progress

​
Open Ports

Open ports with exposure and associated asset mapping

Displays exposed services and potential entry points into the asset.

​
DNS Records

DNS records including A, CNAME, and resolution paths

Shows how the asset resolves across infrastructure.

​
SSL Certificates

SSL certificate details including issuer, validity, and expiration

Tracks certificate validity and encryption posture of the asset.

​
Asset Relationships

Relationships between assets including DNS, ports, certificates, and technologies

Helps understand how the asset connects with other components.

​
Data Sources

Adapters contributing asset intelligence such as ASM, CRT, and vulnerability data

Displays integrations responsible for discovering and enriching asset data.

​
Why This Matters

  • Prevents orphaned and unmanaged assets
  • Enables safe decommissioning without losing context
  • Allows quick restoration of critical assets
  • Maintains full lifecycle visibility across infrastructure
  • Preserves security, ownership, and operational history
