Abstract
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.
