Why Asset Risk Analysis Matters
Not all assets carry the same risk. Some are inactive but still exposed, others are misconfigured, and many accumulate vulnerabilities over time.Traditional inventories fail to evaluate which assets need immediate attention. Snapsec ASM solves this by:
Classifying assets as live, inactive, misconfigured, or high-risk based on continuous analysis
Detecting risky configurations, outdated technologies, and unprotected services
Prioritizing assets by severity, exposure type, and exploitation likelihood
Enriching assets with ports, DNS, certificates, technologies, and cloud metadata
How Snapsec Performs Risk Analysis
1
Collect Environmental Context
Every asset — subdomain, IP, port, server, or technology — is enriched with metadata like DNS, tags, cloud ownership, technologies, and historical behavior.
2
Evaluate Exposure & Misconfigurations
ASM detects dangerous configurations including open ports, outdated software, missing WAF, expired certificates, and risky DNS setups.
3
Classify Asset Risk Level
Assets are categorized into live, inactive, misconfigured, or high-risk groups using Snapsec’s risk engine.
4
Prioritize & Alert
High-risk assets are escalated with severity scoring and pushed into VM workflows for rapid remediation.
What Problems This Solves
Risk-Based Prioritization
Identify which assets actually matter — enabling teams to focus on the highest-risk exposures first.
Misconfiguration Detection
Automatically detect unsafe setups like open ports, missing WAF, invalid certificates, and insecure technologies.
Lifecycle Awareness
Understand the true state of each asset: active, abandoned, shadow, misconfigured, or risky.
Key Benefits for Your Security Team
Prioritize What Matters
Focus response efforts on assets that present the highest exposure risk.
Reduce Attack Surface
Find and resolve risky configurations before attackers exploit them.
Strengthen VM Programs
Feed high-risk assets directly into VM tickets for structured remediation.
Improve Operational Visibility
Continuously track which assets go live, go offline, or become newly dangerous.
Example High-Risk Conditions
Active assets running outdated, vulnerable software versions.
Inactive subdomains still resolving with open ports.
Exposed IPs reachable without any access control.
Web servers without WAF protection.
Assets using expired or weak SSL/TLS certificates.
Technology stacks exposing sensitive debug or admin functionality.
What Happens After Risk Evaluation
1
Enrich the Risk Profile
Each risky asset is paired with metadata like ports, DNS, technologies, certificate status, and cloud context.
2
Classify & Score
ASM uses policy rules and AI analysis to generate a risk score based on severity, exposure type, and exploitation likelihood.
3
Generate AI Report
ASM automatically produces a risk-focused report with impact, reasoning, and step-by-step remediation.
4
Send to VM Tickets
High-risk assets are synced into Snapsec VM for tracking, assignment, and resolution.
