TheCloud Asset InventoryinCrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Securityprovides a centralized, normalized view ofall compute assetsacrossAWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, regardless of whether they aremanaged or unmanagedby the Falcon sensor.

This inventory aggregates metadata from cloud provider APIs and Falcon telemetry to present unified visibility into virtual machines, cloud instances, container hosts, and workloads. Security teams can filter assets by cloud provider, account, region, operating system, sensor status, and risk posture, making it essential for multi-cloud environments.

Other dashboards serve specialized purposes: the Image Assessment Dashboard focuses on container images, the Compliance Dashboard maps findings to regulatory frameworks, and Application Security Posture Inventory focuses on application-level risk. None of these provide thefull compute asset viewrequired for cross-cloud operational awareness.

Therefore,Cloud Asset Inventoryis the correct location for maintaining visibility across complex, multi-cloud environments.
