The Data Asset Explorer eliminates the fragmented approach to data security that leaves organizations vulnerable. It provides comprehensive visibility into all sensitive files, messages, and non-file based traffic, referred to as assets, detected by Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) across your data security enforcement channels. The Data Asset Explorer allows your data security admins to perform cross-channel asset discovery, centralize your data security risk assessments, and provides enterprise-wide visibility into sensitive assets moving to and from apps and peripherals, and across your network.

The core concept of Data Asset Explorer is to provide a single pane of glass for viewing and managing sensitive data assets. It allows admins to:

Discover and inventory sensitive assets across various platforms and channels
Analyze data sensitivities, types, and distribution patterns
Investigate asset metadata, activities, matched policy rules, and incidents
Visualize data leak paths and potential vulnerabilities

By centralizing this information and functionality, Data Asset Explorer enables data security teams to make informed decisions, optimize their Security policy rules, and enhance their overall data protection strategies. It transforms fragmented data security management into a cohesive and efficient process to strengthen your organization's security posture.

You can access the Data Asset Explorer on Strata Cloud Manager (ManageConfigurationData Loss PreventionData Asset Explorer) only.

Filters
The Data Asset Explorer allows you to apply filters to narrow down the scope of sensitive assets the Data Asset Explorer displays. Apply these filters to more quickly identify the sensitive assets you want to investigate. The Data Asset Explorer automatically applies any filters to the Asset Aggregates widget and the Assets table.
- Time Filter—Specify the time frame to narrow down the list of sensitive assets. You can select Past 1 Hour, Past 3 Hours, Past 24 Hours, Past 7 Days, Past 30 Days, or Past 90 Days.
- Region—Select the region where Enterprise DLP inspected sensitive assets. The default Global displays all sensitive assets detected across all regions.
- GenAI Apps Only—Toggle this filter to display only the GenAI apps supported by Enterprise DLP.
- Add Filter—Add additional filters to narrow down the scope of assets.
- Reset—Remove any of the additional filters added. This does not remove the time, region, or GenAI apps only filters.
Asset Aggregates
- Asset Aggregates Widget
  The Asset Aggregates widget provides an interactive visualization to view aggregated asset information detected by Enterprise DLP. Click on the asset characteristics to automatically apply filters to and narrow down the number of assets displayed. Click on the same characteristic again to remove the filter.
  The characters described below display only if Enterprise DLP has matching data. For example, you apply the Past 7 Days filter and Asset Type displays Data at Rest and Data in Motion but only displays Data in Motion when you apply the Past 24 Hours. This is because Enterprise DLP inspected traffic for both data at rest and in motion at some point in the last seven days, but only sensitive data in motion detected by Enterprise DLP in the past 24 hours.
  - Applications—App classification for inspected traffic.
    Can be Sanctioned, Tolerated, or Unsanctioned.
  - Data Type—Data asset file type, message, or non-file traffic inspected by Enterprise DLP. The Data Asset Explorer lists the four data asset types with the largest number of assets and displays Others to combine all other data asset types.
  - Asset Type—Type asset traffic inspected. Can be Data at Rest or Data in Motion.
  - Policy Action—Action configured in the DLP rule (Strata Cloud Manager), data profile (Panorama) or data asset policy rule (Data Security).
    Can be Blocked, Alerted, Quarantined, or Deleted.
  - Data Profiles—Data profiles containing the match criteria the asset inspected by Enterprise DLP matched against. The Data Asset Explorer lists the four data profiles with the largest number of traffic matches and displays Others to combine all other data profiles.
  - Channels—Data security channel where Enterprise DLP inspection and verdict rendering occurred.
    Can be NGFW, Prisma Access, Email DLP, Endpoint DLP, SaaS API, or PA Browser.
  - Users—Top users who uploaded, downloaded, sent messages, or generated non-file based data assets forwarded to Enterprise DLP for inspection.
- Assets by Risk—Distribution of the assets across different Risk Scores as defined in the DLP rule (Strata Cloud Manager) or data profile (Panorama).
- Top Users—Top 3 users who uploaded data assets containing sensitive data based on the currently applied filters and the total number of data assets.
- Top Applications—Top 3 apps where users uploaded, downloaded, sent messages, or generated non-file based data assets containing sensitive data and the total number of data assets.
This Assets by Risk, Top Users, and Top Applications data are a summary of the total assets based on the currently selected time filter. Click the asset value to automatically apply the corresponding filters to the Asset Aggregates widget.
Asset List
List of all data assets inspected by Enterprise DLP. This list dynamically updates based on the currently applied filters.
- Last Modified—Date and time Enterprise DLP inspected the asset, message, or non-file based traffic.
- Name—Name of the asset inspected by Enterprise DLP. Click the asset Name to view the asset details.
- Channel—Data security channel that forwarded the asset to Enterprise DLP for inspection.
  Can be NGFW, Prisma Access, Email DLP, Endpoint DLP, SaaS API, or PA Browser.
- Data Risk Score—A Data risk score assigned to the asset to measure the overall risk the asset poses to your organization.
- Policy Action—Action configured in the DLP rule (Strata Cloud Manager), data profile (Panorama) or data asset policy rule (Data Security)
- (Data Security only) Exposure—Exposure level describing the accessibility of the asset.
- Data Profiles—One or more Data profiles containing the match criteria the asset inspected by Enterprise DLP matched against.
- Application Name—App-ID of the destination or source app.
