Computer asset discovery for digital transformation

A computer hardware system configured to identify computer assets within a defined network using scanning services respectively connected to each of a plurality of network zones within the defined network, comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to perform the following executable operations:
• identifying, by a particular scanning service contained within the particular one of the network zones, a plurality of interne protocol (IP) addresses within the particular one of the network zones;
• collecting, by the particular scanning service, collected information associated with each of the plurality of IP addresses;
• inferring, by the particular scanning service and using the collected information associated with each of the plurality of IP addresses, additional information about the plurality of IP addresses;
• validating, by the particular scanning service, the additional information;
• and
• presenting, using a graphical user interface connected to the particular scanning service, analytics based upon the collected information and the additional information, wherein
• firewalls contained within the particular one of the network zones are configured to allow access by the particular scanning service, and
• the identifying, the collecting, and the inferring are performed for each of the plurality of network zones.

A computer program product for identifying computer assets within a defined network using scanning services respectively connected to each of a plurality of network zones within the defined network, comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having stored therein program code,
• the program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, cause the computer hardware system to perform:
• identifying, by a particular scanning service contained within the particular one of the network zones, a plurality of interne protocol (IP) addresses within the particular one of the network zones;
• collecting, by the particular scanning service, collected information associated with each of the plurality of IP addresses;
• inferring, by the particular scanning service and using the collected information associated with each of the plurality of IP addresses, additional information about the plurality of IP addresses;
• validating, by the particular scanning service, the additional information;
• and
• presenting, using a graphical user interface connected to the particular scanning service, analytics based upon the collected information and the additional information, wherein
• firewalls contained within the particular one of the network zones are configured to allow access by the particular scanning service, and
• the identifying, the collecting, and the inferring are performed for each of the plurality of network zones.
