Asset Criticality
Asset criticality is the business and security significance of an asset that changes how findings, vulnerabilities, and incidents are prioritized—not merely inventory classification.
Asset Criticality
Definition
Asset criticality is the business and security significance of an asset that changes how findings, vulnerabilities, and incidents are prioritized.
Criticality reflects context—what the asset supports, who depends on it, and what harm could follow from compromise—not label hygiene in a CMDB alone.
SentriScope Usage
SentriScope enriches canonical assets with criticality signals from business and security context (KID-ARC-0001) so prioritization and intelligence layers can explain why the same finding ranks differently on different assets. This entry defines the term only.
