Overview

This article explains all the management around assets in ACSIA CRA

Prerequisites

To better understand what this article describes, we advise you to read the ACSIA CRA User Manual before diving into this one which will cover specific topics around assets management.

 

How to manually add a new asset

Every asset related to a Company is created after a Company check.

 

Assets can also be created after the recheck of a Company, if they were not present before (the frequency of the rechecks depends on your subscription. Read how many you have available here).

Note that it's more likely that ACSIA CRA will find more assets on your Company than you can expect. But, for different reasons, some assets may be missing, so you have the chance to add them manually.

 

To manually add a new asset to a Company, click on the Company you're interested in, and then click on "Go to assets":

 

Then, we click on "Add an asset":

 

 

Then, we define its type and write the value. Finally, we click on "Create asset":

Changing the status of an asset

To change the status of an asset we have, first, to go to the assets associated with a particular Company.

 

Then, we select a particular asset and click on "Go to asset":

 

We can set the status of the asset as:

  • Enabled. 
  • Disabled.
  • Acknowledged.

 

Here's what happens to the status of an asset when we change it:

  • Enabled. The asset is rechecked in accordance with the characteristics of the subscription and concurs with creating the calculation of the rating of the Company.
  • Disabled. The asset is not rechecked in accordance with the characteristics of the subscription (but can be rechecked occasionally, due to some other criteria) and doesn't concur with creating the calculation of the rating of the Company.
  • Acknowledged. The asset is rechecked in accordance with the characteristics of the subscription but doesn't concur with creating the calculation of the rating of the Company.

 

Disabled and Acknowledged assets are shown in the PDF report because they influence the rating of the Company. Beware that we said that these don't concur with the calculation. So, "influence" means that if you have an asset that is "enabled", and, for example, you change the status to "disabled", if you perform a manual recheck (or if you wait for the recheck due to your subscription) the rating will change because of the absence of the asset you disabled.

Since the attack perimeter is inferred from manually added assets, we advise to not mark them as disabled or acknowledged.

Checking the related assets

As described in the User Manual, the plots that are shown in the Company Overview show us how the assets of that particular Company are related.

 

We have also another way to visualize how the assets are related. We can go to the assets associated with a particular Company, and click on related assets:

 

When we click on the source asset, we can see all the derived assets:
