Working with Data Assets and Targets

The Data Assets and Targets screen is where you can view and manage Assets and Targets. It's important to remember:

  • Assets

    • Locations, physical or cloud, that contain Targets. For example, an SQL Server housed at your business or a Dropbox account you maintain.

    • They contain single or multiple Targets

    • They may be a type that can be listed, but Targets are not scannable at this time.

  • Targets

    • Any data locations within an Asset that SDP can scan.

    • They can be in a “physical” box that can be scanned or a cloud Asset with data.

  • Examples include:

    • An SQL server (Asset) with multiple SQL Databases hosted on it (Targets)

    • A SharePoint Online instaddance (Asset) with multiple sites (Targets)

    • A Workstation (Asset and single Target), or a Azure Data lake (Asset that can’t be scanned)
