Allow target filters/actions to also apply to assets

While I realize that assets don’t have all of the properties that a target has (once scanned), candidate assets do a have a lot of properties that could be used to filter.

Why? We use a large collection of target filters to auto-tag targets for purposes of GRC assignments (who gets the call when a site is vulnerable). We have a lot of business knowledge encoded into these filters.

But those filters don’t assist us in finding new assets that should maybe be targets. I have to look at the target filter, then manually search through the discovered asset list for new things that might need to be scanned.

Much like there is a “view N targets” button when looking at the Target Filter’s “Matches” section, I wish there was a “view N assets” button to look at what assets match this filter.

    Similar to Target Filters we have Asset Filters which allow you to filter and perform automated actions on discovered Assets

    Click the + icon to add a filter, then select Type = Asset.
