Network Discovery

Manage your network infrastructure centrally. Document devices, services, and network assets in a structured way — and link them directly to vulnerabilities and pentest findings.

What Is Network Discovery?

Network Assets as the Foundation for Security Decisions

Network discovery is the process of identifying, documenting, and managing all devices, services, and connections within your network infrastructure. Shadow IT and unknown devices create blind spots that vulnerability scanners miss and incident responders cannot account for.

turingsecure’s dedicated network module provides a structured overview of all network assets — filterable by type, searchable by name and identifier, and directly linkable to vulnerabilities from all cyber security modules. It bridges the gap between network operations and security management.

How Does Network Discovery Work in Practice?

Capture & Classify

Structured Network Asset Documentation

Every network asset in turingsecure is captured with a name, type, unique identifier, and optional documentation. The typing system ensures clear categorization — IP addresses, servers, networks, domains, and more — while flexible metadata and Markdown descriptions provide the depth that network teams need.

Typed Network Entries: Clear categorization by type: IP addresses, servers, networks, domains, and more. Visual type badges provide quick orientation in lists and detail views.
Flexible Metadata: Extend network assets with custom key-value metadata: VLAN assignments, firmware versions, physical location, responsible team, or any other network-specific attributes.
Markdown Documentation: Document each network asset with formatted descriptions including configuration details, access procedures, maintenance windows, and security-relevant notes.

Search & Connect

Find Network Assets and Link Them to Security Data

With hundreds of network assets, finding the right one quickly is essential. turingsecure provides full-text search across names, identifiers, and descriptions, combined with type-based filtering and sortable columns.

The real power comes from connecting network assets to your security data. Link devices to vulnerabilities from pentests, attack surface scans, and darknet monitoring — transforming your network documentation from a static list into actionable security intelligence.

Full-Text Search: Search all network assets by name, identifier, or description content. Combined with type filters and date ranges, find any asset in seconds — even with hundreds of entries.
Vulnerability Linking: Map network assets to findings from vulnerability management, attack surface monitoring, and darknet monitoring. See immediately which network devices have known security issues.
API Integration: RESTful API for integration with existing network management tools, CMDBs, and monitoring systems. Paginated queries with filtering by type and full-text search.

Network Discovery Lifecycle

From Infrastructure Mapping to Security Integration

Network discovery transforms unknown infrastructure into documented, security-connected assets.

1. Map

Document Your Network Infrastructure

Create network asset entries for all known devices, services, and connections. Assign types, unique identifiers, and initial documentation for each entry.

2. Classify

Categorize by Type and Metadata

Apply type classifications for clear categorization. Add metadata for VLAN, location, firmware, and other network-specific attributes that matter for operations and security.

3. Connect

Link to Security Findings

Map network assets to vulnerabilities, pentest findings, and monitoring alerts. Create the connections that turn network documentation into security intelligence.

4. Collaborate

Share Across Teams

Network, security, and compliance teams work from the same asset data. Client asset management enables service providers to document customer infrastructure in the audit context.

5. Integrate

Connect to External Tools

Use the RESTful API to sync network asset data with your CMDB, monitoring systems, and network management tools. Paginated queries ensure efficient data exchange.

Core Features

Capture and Manage Network Assets

Structured documentation of your entire network infrastructure.

Asset Capture: Capture network assets with name, type, unique identifier, and optional Markdown description. Flexible metadata for location, VLAN, firmware version, or other network-specific attributes.
Search & Filter: Search all network assets by name, identifier, or description. Filter by asset type and creation date, sort by any column — even with hundreds of entries.
Vulnerability Context: Link network assets to findings from vulnerability management, attack surface monitoring, and darknet monitoring. See immediately which network devices are affected.

Collaboration & Compliance

Network Documentation for Teams and Audits

Client Asset Management: As a pentest provider, document your clients’ network infrastructure directly in the audit context. Create assets for client organizations and link them to shared pentests.
Change Tracking: Every creation and change is logged with timestamp and user. Traceable history for compliance audits and internal documentation requirements.
Typed Entries: Network assets are clearly typed: IP addresses, servers, networks, domains, and more. Visual type badges for quick orientation in lists and detail views.
API Integration: RESTful API for integration with existing network management tools, CMDBs, and monitoring systems. Paginated queries with filtering by type and search term.
