Asset Identification

Asset identification plays an important role in an organization's ability to quickly correlate different sets of information about assets. This specification provides the necessary constructs to uniquely identify assets based on known identifiers and/or known information about the assets. This specification describes the purpose of asset identification, a data model for identifying assets, methods for identifying assets, and guidance on how to use asset identification. It also identifies a number of known use cases for asset identification.

The Asset Specifications Development List is available for developers interested in Asset Identification and other asset related security automation standards. Please subscribe to this list through the SCAP Community page.
