Techniques are presented herein for classifying a variety of enterprise computing resources based on asset characteristics. In particular, a computing asset, e.g., a server, may be classified based on any digital certificates provisioned on that server. That is, the properties of a digital certificate may be used to determine a measure of business value or importance of a server (or data hosted on that server). Once the computing asset has been classified, a monitoring system may use the assigned classifications to prioritize security incidents for review.

Discovery and classification of enterprise assets via host characteristics

Various embodiments of a system and method for replicating a file over multiple data centers are described. The method may comprise creating a plurality of file records in a database at a data center that initially receives the file. Each record may correspond to a destination data center at which the file should be stored. The file records may be replicated to respective databases at each of the destination data centers, and each respective destination data center may pull a copy of the file to the respective destination data center. When a file is pulled to a given destination data center, the file record corresponding to the copy of the file at the given destination data center may be updated, and the updated file record may be communicated to the other destination data centers.
