Prism’s Asset Grouping feature enables users to manage their asset inventories with ease, and gives teams more control of how they divide up and report on their estates.
Users can select any number of assets to create new groups.
Once a group is created, users can define how assets should be assigned to it, such as by hostname or IP address.
Based on these settings, Prism automatically sorts assets when new results are imported into the platform. Each group can carry its own settings, giving users greater flexibility of how their inventories are organized.
Prism makes it easy to monitor groups by generating useful insights, including whether a group is compliant with SLAs, and, based on the highest rated issue within a group, what the overall severity score is.
Assets are divided into two areas in Prism.
Ungrouped Assets - Assets arriving into Prism organically and reported as their own asset instance
Grouped Assets - Assets arriving into Prism organically but then being placed into logical asset groupings defined by the user
Metrics available when grouping assets include:
Compliance Ratings: Users are able to gain compliance statuses for a group of assets, for example a PCI environment within an organisation.
Severity Score/Rating: Prism provides the user with a highest available severity score for the asset group. This is based on a weakest link/asset weighting.
Tagging Capabilities: Users are able to tag assets and asset groups to provide further granular reporting.
