Asset Management

The Asset Management page provides a comprehensive interface to view and manage your asset relationships and data, allowing you to manage data for archived repositories, define and manage monorepository structures, and clean up residual findings for scanning technologies you may have removed or replaced.

Orphaned Assets & Finding

An Orphaned Asset is any asset previously connected to a 3rd party system but is no longer visible to Boost due to removal or permission changes. Boost retains the data by default in case of temporary issues, but users can permanently clean up the data if the asset is confirmed to be gone using the Asset Management page.

An Orphaned Finding is any finding associated with an asset originating from a scanner that is no longer provisioned against that asset. In other words, a finding that can never be automatically closed due to resolution because the source of the finding’s detection is no longer able to report information to Boost.

Asset Management Grouping

All assets can be grouped by their Organization or the Scanner that has contributed data to the asset. The primary benefit of Organization grouping is that it enables users to define monorepository assets and efficiently identify and remove orphaned assets within Boost, while the primary benefit of Scanner grouping is that it allows the user to clean up any orphaned findings within Boost.

Group By Organization

Grouping by Organization allows users to organize assets based on their associated organizations, making it easier to manage monorepository structures and address orphaned assets. This approach provides a clear view of assets within each organization, enabling efficient cleanup and streamlined asset management within Boost.

Group by Organization

Group By Scanner

Grouping by Scanner allows users to organize assets based on the scanning technologies that contributed data to them. This approach helps users efficiently manage and clean up orphaned findings associated with scanners that are no longer in use, ensuring a more streamlined and accurate asset management process within Boost.

Asset Management Filters

To refine your view and manage orphaned assets more effectively, the asset management page offers advanced filtering options:

Assest Filters

  1. Orphaned Data: Filter assets based on the resources they are associated with.
  2. Mono Repositories: Filter assets to display those within or outside mono repositories, simplifying the management of large, consolidated codebases.
  3. Provider: Filter assets by the source code management providers, such as GitLab, BitBucket, AWS Code Commit, etc., enabling focused management based on the source of your repositories.
  4. Asset Type: Filter results based on asset type, i.e., Container Image, Repositories, Kubernetes.
  5. AI Components: Filter assets that include AI-related components, such as machine learning models, AI-driven tools, or frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  6. Filter By Attributes: Filter assets based on specific attributes, i.e., assets containing specific technologies like HTML, JavaScript, or Python.
  7. Code Framework: Filter assets by frameworks used in the codebase, such as Django, Express, or NestJS.
  8. 3rd Party SaaS Products: Filter assets linked to external SaaS products, such as AWS, Azure DevOps, GCP, or Slack.
  9. Exposes API: Filter assets that expose APIs, enabling users to focus on API-related resources.
  10. Personal Information: Filter assets containing sensitive personal information, such as financial data, medical records, or personal identifiers.

These filters ensure you can efficiently navigate and manage your assets, keeping your security posture robust and up-to-date.

Export Assets

This functionality allows users to easily export detailed information about all assets within their environment into a CSV file.

Key Benefits

  • Comprehensive Data Export: Export detailed asset information, including organization name, repository type, repository attributes, and more, in a structured CSV format.
  • Enhanced Data Management: With the exported CSV file, users can easily filter, sort, and analyze asset data using tools like Excel or Google Sheets.
  • Quick Access: The export feature is readily accessible via the Export button on the Asset Management page.

How to Use the Export Feature

  1. Navigate to the Asset Management page.

  2. Click on the Export button located at the top-right corner of the page.

    Export Assets Details

  3. The CSV file will be generated and downloaded, containing all relevant asset details.
