Asset Discovery
You can't secure what you don't know exists. Continuous discovery of every device, user account and SaaS app in your estate.
You cannot protect what you do not know exists
Asset discovery finds the devices, servers, accounts, applications and cloud services that make up your IT estate - including the ones no one told IT about. It is the foundation every other control depends on.
- Surfaces unmanaged devices and shadow IT
- Improves patching and security tool coverage
- Provides the inventory insurers and customers expect
- Inventory is current and reviewed
- Every asset has an owner recorded
- Missing or stale assets are investigated, not ignored
Do you have a live inventory of devices, users, servers and cloud services?
Ask us to run an asset and exposure review.
Understanding asset discovery
Shadow IT, BYOD, dormant servers and forgotten cloud accounts are how breaches get a foothold. Asset discovery gives you a single, accurate inventory of hardware, software, users and cloud services - the foundation every other security control depends on. Without it, patch management and EDR are guessing.
