Definition
An unknown asset is an asset that exists in the environment but lacks sufficient context for confident security decisions.
The uncertainty is about significance and relationships—ownership, business role, exposure, dependencies—not merely the absence of a CMDB record. Discovery may surface the entity; decision support still requires context enrichment.
