Groups Overview

Introduction

A Group can be a business unit, division, department, data center, or application. You can define Groups with rich business metadata, enabling the creation of risk scenarios that accurately reflect the risk associated with a specific group of underlying assets like servers, and endpoints.

You can easily create these groups using a simple 4-step wizard. This makes the process easy and ensures we collect all the necessary information for assessing risk. 

When creating a group, you can define group details that include, Name, Description, Firmographic Details (Industry, country, revenue, employee count, Internet-facing), and Group Type (Smart, Static, or No Asset groups).

Group Types

There are 3 distinct approaches for creating a group, each tailored to different needs and scenarios. These group types enable you to seamlessly connect technology assets or people with the appropriate groups.

• Smart Group: A group that the platform continuously updates by automatically associating technology assets or people based on specific criteria that you define, simplifying the grouping process and ensuring automatic updates.
• Static Group: Similar to a smart group, but in this case, you manually specify the exact technology assets or people by selecting them individually
• No Assets Group: The No Asset Group proves beneficial when you lack information about assets for inclusion in a group but intend to model a Risk scenario. This group type enables you to select the Attack Surface Type from predefined options like Applications, Cloud, End-points, SaaS, etc. Users can later convert this group into Smart Groups once they activate integrations or receive assets with smart tags, allowing them to create more advanced and dynamic Smart Groups.
