Inventory

Inventory Page Overview

The Inventory Page in KScope is your central hub for real-time, unified visibility into all your enterprise’s digital and cyber assets. It aggregates and contextualizes identities, policies, and assets spanning code, build systems, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS applications. This data is ingested and mapped through Blueprints—KScope’s intelligent data connectors—transforming raw sources into a dynamic graph of nodes (assets) and edges (relationships).

This graph-based model enables security and IT teams to understand the structure, ownership, and interdependencies of all critical digital elements, delivering actionable intelligence from a single pane of glass.


Customer Value: Why It Matters

🔒 Security-Centric Visibility

  • Gain immediate insight into your entire cyber asset landscape, including often-overlooked assets like ephemeral workloads, service identities, and shadow SaaS usage.

  • Map asset-policy relationships to detect misconfigurations, orphaned assets, or risky access paths.

🧭 Unified IT Governance

  • Visualize organizational structure and asset ownership across all environments.

  • Break down silos between DevOps, Security, and IT teams with a shared source of truth.

⚙️ Operational Efficiency

  • Reduce time-to-insight by surfacing key attributes and dependencies within and across Blueprints.

  • Accelerate audits, incident response, and compliance tasks through comprehensive asset context.


Key Capabilities for IT & Security Engineers

Deep Visibility

Understand the full scope of your environment with interactive, queryable maps of Blueprints and their hierarchical relationships.

🔍 Streamlined Analysis

Quickly identify critical nodes, such as unmanaged identities or misaligned policies, through intuitive filtering and metadata tagging.

🛠️ Simplified Management

Monitor and manage your asset inventory with live updates, context-rich annotations, and change tracking across your cloud and software ecosystems.


Getting the Most Out of the Inventory Page

  • Use advanced filters to isolate high-risk assets or policy misalignments.

  • Explore Blueprint relationship graphs to identify dependency chains and ownership gaps.

  • Leverage the unified asset view during investigations to accelerate root cause analysis and resolution.


Layout

The page displays cards organized into five columns. Each card includes:

  • Blueprint Name: The name of the Blueprint.

  • Blueprint Icon: A visual identifier for the Blueprint.

  • Inventory Items Count: The total number of items within the Blueprint.

Viewing Modes

Grid View (Default)

  • Presents a visual layout of Blueprint cards.

  • Ideal for quickly scanning through Blueprints and their associated data.

Second Level

  • Enables users to drill down into the second-level nodes and view their counts.

  • Helps in understanding the relationships and dependencies within the hierarchy.

List View

  • Displays Blueprint data in a tabular format.

  • Useful for detailed exploration and comparison of inventory counts.

Hierarchical Inventory Levels

First Level

  • Displays the top-level nodes of a Blueprint.

  • Provides an overview of the most significant elements within the structure.

Second Level

  • Enables users to drill down into the second-level nodes and view their counts.

  • Helps in understanding the relationships and dependencies within the hierarchy.

Third Level

  • Further drill-down to view third-level nodes and their counts.

  • Offers functionality to navigate to the Explorer Page for detailed analysis of:

    • All nodes

    • Node properties

    • Connected edges

Filtering Options

Account Filter

  • Allows users to filter inventory data based on the accounts associated with Blueprints.

  • Simplifies the exploration of data relevant to specific accounts.

  • Switching Views: Users can toggle between Grid View and List View for their preferred layout.

  • Interacting with Inventory Levels: Click on a Blueprint card to drill down through the hierarchical levels.

  • Navigating to Explorer Page: From the third level, users can transition to the Explorer Page for in-depth analysis of nodes, properties, and edges.

Practical Examples

Locating Specific Nodes

  1. Open the Inventory Page.

  2. Use the Account Filter to narrow the data to a specific account.

  3. Drill down to the desired level to locate the specific nodes.

Filtering by Account

  1. Click on the Account Filter dropdown.

  2. Select the account associated with the Blueprint data you want to explore.

Switching Views

  1. Use the toggle button to switch between Grid View and List View.

  2. Choose the view that best suits your analysis needs.
