-Asset data refers to structured information about digital or physical entities, such as devices, services, applications, or infrastructure components, that are relevant to an organization’s operations, security, or analytics. This article explains how to enable and manage asset data in Microsoft Sentinel's data lake.  
+# Asset data ingestion in the Microsoft Sentinel data lake
 
 Asset data in cybersecurity refers to an organization’s physical and digital entities such as computers, identities, software, cloud services, and networks. It shows what exists so you know what must be protected. Microsoft Sentinel’s data lake adds powerful value by storing this asset data in a scalable, cost-efficient way that supports long-term retention, advanced analytics, and AI-driven threat detection. With unified visibility across systems and flexible data management, Sentinel lake helps security teams understand their environment, spot unusual activity, and respond to threats.
