You Can't Protect What You Don't KnowYou Have
You can’t protect what you don’t know exists. For many years, Asset Inventory lists at the very top of most industry-leading security frameworks such as ISO, NIST, and CIS. The discovery of hard- and software data plays a critical role in maintaining an up-to-date synopsis of your entire IT estate to implement a cybersecurity strategy. Leveraging that collected network data is a fundamental starting point for implementing security measures across your organization.
Leveraging IT Inventory Baseline for IT Security
With all this information at our fingertips, so much more can be done to ensure that organizations are not only running efficiently but also able to identify cybersecurity threats and opportunities.
You’re using discovery and inventory data to understand the number of deployed assets, software installations, and other asset-specific information. The IT security department is using data to assess security threats, vulnerabilities, and respond to security incidents. The thing they have in common: the need for complete visibility.
A Critical First Step in your Cybersecurity Strategy
Making IT Discovery a key process of your cyber security management enables you to discover new devices as they come into the organization and inventory all software and hardware across your IT environment. Cases of IT Discovery supporting a response to a security threat include the WannaCry and Meltdown vulnerability exploits. Once identified, IT teams were able to query Lansweeper to find instances of vulnerable software using a custom report.
Instantly Detect Assets the Moment They Connect to the Network
Ensuring that unknown devices -which are far more likely to become a rogue network device– are detected the moment they enter your organization’s network is a crucial part of your cybersecurity strategy.
Lansweeper's Asset Radar detects assets the moment they connect to the network. Combined with our advanced, AI-powered Credential-free Device Recognition technology to recognize and identify these unknown assets, this delivers complete coverage and unmatched inventory accuracy to eliminate blind spots across your IT environment.
