Network asset information management

A method for network asset information management, the method comprising:

• generating real-time asset information based on network activity involving an asset;
• performing rule-based monitoring of the network activity involving the asset;
• maintaining, by a hardware processor, an age of the asset based on last scan time;
• calculating, by the hardware processor, a) asset model information confidence for activity occurring on the asset, and b) priority of the activity occurring on the asset;
• evaluating, by the hardware processor, the real-time asset information and the monitored network activity;
• and
• generating a notification related to the asset based on the evaluation,
• wherein performing the rule-based monitoring of the network activity involving the asset includes determining a level of risk associated with the asset based on comparison of a level of traffic identified to or from an IP address related to the asset to a predetermined threshold, and wherein the notification includes the level of risk associated with the asset.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing machine readable instructions, that when executed by a computer system, perform a method for network asset information management, the method comprising:

• obtaining real-time asset information based on network activity involving an asset using a connector;
• performing rule-based monitoring of the network activity involving the asset;
• maintaining, by a hardware processor, an age of the asset based on last scan time;
• calculating, by the hardware processor, a) asset model information confidence for activity occurring on the asset, and b) priority of the activity occurring on the asset;
• and
• evaluating, by the hardware processor, the real-time asset information and the monitored network activity to generate a notification related to the asset,
• wherein performing the rule-based monitoring of the network activity involving the asset includes determining a level of risk associated with the asset based on comparison of a level of traffic identified to or from an IP address related to the asset to a predetermined threshold, and wherein the notification includes the level of risk associated with the asset.
