6.1 Asset Management

The Asset Management module is the heart of your external surface visibility. It provides a centralized dashboard that continuously tracks, catalogs, and monitors the digital assets you own — including domains, subdomains, associated technologies, ports, IPs, and metadata.
Whether you're managing a single website or a complex infrastructure with dozens of services, this module gives you the visibility needed to secure your perimeter.
Summary Cards:
Total Asset (Domain) – Number of discovered domains/subdomains.
Technologies – Total count of unique technologies detected across assets.
Critical Vulnerabilities – How many unresolved, high-risk findings exist.
Statistics Panels:
Asset Statistics – Radar chart showing distribution of technologies, ports, and asset counts.
Vulnerability Statistics – Visual classification of detected issues by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Info).
Each domain entry provides a comprehensive technical and security profile. You can expand it to view:
1. 🌐 General Information
IP address & Port
Protocol used (HTTP/HTTPS)
ASN & ISP ownership
Abuse score
Country and geolocation
2. 🧩 Technologies
CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress, Plesk)
Libraries and frameworks (Bootstrap, Elementor, Google Fonts)
Server stack (PHP, MySQL, NGINX)
3. 🧾 HTTP Headers
Full response headers (security headers, cache controls, cookies)
4. 🔐 SSL Information
Certificate issuer, subject, expiration dates, cipher strength
SSL health based on scan engine (e.g., TLS 1.2, weak ciphers)
5. 📡 DNS Panel
A/AAAA/MX/CNAME/NS/TXT records
SPF, DKIM, DMARC validation
DNSSEC validation state and change logs
6. 🆔 WHOIS Information
Domain registrar
Expiration & creation dates
Raw WHOIS output
✅ This level of insight allows you to monitor your assets not just by IP or hostname, but by actual risk, technology, exposure, and ownership.
You can search and filter assets by:
Domain name
Technology used (e.g., PHP, WordPress, React)
Open port (e.g., 80, 443)
This helps isolate vulnerable or misconfigured environments, or group assets by technology stack.
Without visibility, you can't protect what you don't know you have.
The Asset Management module helps:
Detect shadow IT (unknown domains or services)
Prevent tech stack sprawl and unmanaged exposure
Monitor changes in infrastructure over time
Serve as a foundation for vulnerability assessment
Discover forgotten subdomains
Avoid exposure of legacy services
Track CMS & plugin usage
Identify outdated or risky versions
Watch SSL expiration dates
Avoid certificate downtime or MITM exposure
Validate security headers
Spot missing XSS/CORS/HSTS protections
Map IP and provider attribution
Detect hosting/ISP changes or anomalies
Run asset discovery scans on a regular schedule (e.g., weekly).
Review port usage to detect unexpected exposures (e.g., non-standard ports).
Monitor for newly added technologies that increase your attack surface.
Combine with Vulnerability Scan (6.3) for actionable insights.
🎯 ShieldsGuard’s Asset Management doesn’t just give you a list — it builds a living, evolving picture of your digital perimeter. Know your assets. Reduce your risk. Secure with confidence.
