1. A method for automatic retrieving and managing assets information in a network comprising:
identifying, by a computerized data processing unit, one or more assets in said network;
identifying, by said computerized data processing unit, all the asset properties and the related asset property values of each of said identified assets as listed in a predefined set of asset properties;
storing, in a storage unit of the permanent type operatively connected to said data processing unit, said identified assets, said identified asset properties and said asset property values for said network;, wherein said method for automatic retrieving and managing assets information in a network further comprises, for each of said identified assets:
assigning a criticality value from a predefined set of criticality values;
assigning a resiliency value from a predefined set of resiliency values;
assigning a granularity value to each of said identified asset properties from a predefined set of resiliency values;
assigning a confidence value to each of said identified asset properties from a predefined set of confidence values;
assigning a freshness value to each of said identified asset properties from a predefined set of freshness values;
calculating, by said computerized data processing unit, the quality score of each of said asset properties as combination of said critical value, resiliency value, granularity value, confidence value and freshness value;
calculating, by said computerized data processing unit, the overall quality score of said asset as sum of the quality score of said asset properties;, wherein said method for automatic retrieving and managing assets information in a network further comprises optimizing said quality score of at least one of said assets by updating one or more of said asset properties having a quality score below a predetermined quality score threshold, and wherein said updating is made by one or more direct requests and/or manual inspection of said assets.
