Asset: An asset, in the context of security, is any data, device, or other component of the environment that supports information-related activities. Assets generally hold value for an organization and can be tangible, such as a server or a workstation, or intangible, such as proprietary data or intellectual property. The protection of these assets is the primary focus of security strategies.
