The available discovery types on the platform allow for the automatic identification of assets, services, credentials, and certificates in different environments, expanding infrastructure visibility and control over mapped resources.
Below are the main configurable discovery types, with guidance on when to use them and links to learn more about each process:
-
Domain: used to locate devices associated with an Active Directory domain. It is recommended for corporate environments that use centralized authentication. Learn more at How to add a domain discovery.
-
Device: scans IP ranges to identify active devices on the network. Recommended to expand inventory coverage in environments that do not use domains. Learn more at How to add a device discovery.
-
Containers: identifies containers running on monitored hosts, such as Docker instances or orchestration clusters. Ideal for DevOps environments and ephemeral workloads. Learn more at How to add a container discovery.
-
Amazon ACM: collects and inventories digital certificates stored in the Amazon Certificate Manager, ideal for environments hosted on AWS. Learn more at How to add Amazon ACM CA discovery.
-
URL Certificates: alows identifying and monitoring public SSL certificates linked to external domains. Indicated for security audits and external exposure control. Learn more at How to add a URL certificate discovery.
Each discovery type can be customized with specific parameters, such as search scopes, credentials, import rules, and execution schedules. This ensures that the process is aligned with the organization's needs and security policies.
