RELIABLE DETECTION OF DELETED ASSETS IN DATA STORES

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for updating a catalog of assets. A scanning agent may scan for a set of assets in a data store. A scan validator may receive, from the scanning agent, a list of assets scanned in the data store and determine that a summary record is received from the scanning agent. The summary record may include an asset summary generated by the scanning agent corresponding to the list of scanned assets. In response to determining that the summary record is received, the scan validator may determine whether the asset summary in the summary record matches an asset summary generated from the list of assets. If a match is determined between the asset summaries, a match validation may be provided. In response to the match validation being provided, assets absent from the list of assets may be removed from the asset catalog.
