Identify Critical Assets

Defining what assets are critical to the operation of your systems is like choosing a champion to defend the fort. This task will help you determine which components need the most protection, sharpening focus on those you can't afford to lose.

But how do you decide? Understanding the role of each asset, predicting their downtime impact, and recognizing potential vulnerabilities are essential. Use asset management tools to assess risk and keep a detailed list ready—doesn't that sound like a plan?
