Systems and methods for remediation of unknown digital assets

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program executable by the one or more processors, the program comprising sets of instructions for operations comprising:
• receiving, from one or more cloud service application programming interfaces (APIs), attribute data associated with a plurality of digital assets in a computing environment deployed within a computing environment comprising a plurality of virtual resources;
• identifying, by an asset management module, a subset of the plurality of digital assets having unknown ownership based on the received attribute data, wherein identifying the subset includes analyzing metadata associated with the plurality of digital assets to determine whether ownership information corresponding to a digital asset is absent or untraceable;
• determining, by a prioritization rules engine, a risk level for each digital asset in the subset of digital assets based on the received attribute data, wherein the risk level measures a susceptibility of each digital asset to potential attacks, wherein the determining the risk level for each digital asset includes:
• applying a plurality of prioritization rules to a digital asset from the subset of digital assets to generate a plurality of priority scores;
• and
• generating the risk level for the digital asset based on the plurality of priority scores;
• calculating, by a remediation module, a remediation date for the digital asset based on the risk level corresponding to the digital asset;
• and
• performing a remediation action on each digital asset in the subset of digital assets, wherein the remediation action is based on the risk level of each digital asset.
