Asset Setting
Navigate to Inventory > Asset Setting to disable or enable automatic asset tracking as well as to define exceptions that will not be tracked.
The automatic discovery of assets is enabled by default. Threat Defender automatically creates a new asset database entry whenever an unknown MAC address is detected in the network.
