Delete assets

You can delete assets that are discovered by your Managed Risk scans at any time when they are no longer needed.

When you delete an asset:
  • The asset Asset State changes to Inactive, and then the asset is removed after 120 days.
  • The asset remains in schedules until you edit the schedule.
  • The Status of any risks associated with the asset change to Resolved, and then those risks are removed after 120 days.
  • Agent and Internal Vulnerability Assessment (IVA) scanners remain visible.
  • The asset can appear again if an Agent or IVA scanner receives a new signal from it.
  • The asset will not appear again if you delete the associated Agent or modify an associated IVA scan.
Tip: If needed, use these filter settings to hide Inactive assets:
  • Columns — Select Asset State.
  • Operator — Select is any of.
  • Value — Select Low Signal or Active.
For more information, see Asset filters.
Note: When you uninstall Arctic Wolf Agent from an asset, one of these actions occur:

  • If the asset had only Agent as a Source, the Asset State automatically changes to Inactive, and the Status of all associated risks changes to Resolved.

  • If the asset had more than one Source, for example, Agent, IVA, and DHCP, Agent is no longer listed as a Source on the Asset page, the Asset State and risk Status do not change, and the State of all risks associated with the Agent remains unchanged. In this situation, you must manually set the State of any risks associated with that Agent to Accepted or Mitigated so the risks do not impact your risk score.
