Asset Visibility and Basic Backup Strategy for Windows Clients

Asset View

The Project now Contains a Asset view. The newly integrated Asset Display provides real-time visibility into devices discovered through Nmap scans. Each asset shows detailed information, including:
Hostname and IP Address
Open Ports
Detected Services and Products
CPE (Common Platform Enumeration)
Threat Level and Severity

This visualization enables IT teams to identify potential attack vectors quickly and prioritize remediation based on threat levels.

Backup-Script

Backup Strategy: 3-2-1-(1) Rule
3 copies of data (e.g., on the machine, disk, and tape)
2 different media types (e.g., disk and tape)
1 copy stored off-site (e.g., in the cloud)
(1) air-gapped and indestructible backup for maximum resilience
This method ensures that data remains secure and recoverable even in the event of cyberattacks or system failures.
Backup on Windows (Native Method)
Windows offers a built-in tool—wbAdmin—for performing system backups. This tool is available on all Windows machines and supports two destination types:
Additional Drive (e.g., USB or external HDD)
Network Share (e.g., \\192.168.1.10\BACKUP)
As a PoC, there is an example script available under Tools – Backup.
