Network Resources

Define your network topography to help your Virtual Network Sensor and Deep Discovery Inspector appliances better detect threats and monitor critical resources.

Network Resources provides a set of lists you can use to define your network topography. Using these lists allows your connected appliances to better identify the source of threats and recognize which critical assets in your environment require additional monitoring. You can add network resources to each list, edit the lists, import files to configure each list, or export the lists to edit them.

Network Resources was formerly called Network Assets in Deep Discovery Director. The names of some lists have also changed.

Each list provides a specific function and is synchronized across all connected appliances and supported products. You can access Network Resources by navigating to the Network Inventory (Network Security Operations > Network Inventory and clicking the Network Resources button.
