2.0 Building Your Asset Map

To manage an asset with Secure Configuration Manager, such as a computer or database, you must first add and register the asset in the asset map. The asset map identifies all systems, agents, and endpoints that you want to monitor. The asset map is flexible and lets you group assets using categories most appropriate for your organization. You can grant or deny access to these assets through roles in Secure Configuration Manager. As your IT environment changes, you will need to add managed assets to the asset map periodically.

NOTE:To discover, add, and register assets with Secure Configuration Manager, you must use the Windows console.
