    • Name — The asset identifier. Tenable Inventory assigns this identifier based on the presence of certain asset attributes in the following order:

      1. Agent Name (if agent-scanned)

      2. NetBIOS Name

      3. FQDN

      4. IPv6 address

      For example, if scans identify a NetBIOS name and an IPv4 address for an asset, the NetBIOS name appears as the Asset Name.

    • AES — The Asset Exposure Score for the asset. The AES represents the asset's relative exposure as an integer between 0 and 1000. A higher AES indicates higher exposure.
