Asset groups are logical grouping of network IP's. You can group the discovered IP's based on domains and other network entities like switches and routers. You can create a group, say Windows Group for all your Windows machines in your network , Linux Group for all your Linux machines in your network, and even groups for all your Cisco routers or HP switches present in your network. Asset grouping thus provides you with the option to perform selective scanning of desired hosts.
By organizing assets into logical subsections of your network, you can limit the scope of the scan target, making the results and remediation tasks more manageable. Asset groups provide flexibility, allowing for cases where the same assets may be defined in multiple groups having different business priorities.
