Asset Discovery: The cornerstone of IT management.

In this Guide:

Managing a dynamic IT environment begins with understanding what you own and where it resides. Asset discovery is the essential first step in building a strong foundation for IT asset management (ITAM). Our state-of-the-art asset discovery solution automates the process, ensuring that no asset goes unnoticed—whether it’s on-premises, in the cloud, or part of a hybrid setup.

What is Asset Discovery?

Asset discovery is the process of identifying, cataloging, and maintaining a detailed record of all hardware, software, and network components within an organization’s IT infrastructure. It provides the foundation for robust IT governance and efficient resource allocation.

Why is Asset Discovery important?

Organizations often face challenges like shadow IT, outdated inventories, and security vulnerabilities due to unknown or unmonitored assets. Asset discovery helps address these challenges by:

  • Uncovering hidden assets: Identify and document assets that are not registered in existing inventories.

  • Mitigating security risks: Detect unauthorized or rogue devices that could pose a threat.

  • Improving operational efficiency: Eliminate redundancy and streamline resource allocation.

  • Ensuring compliance: Maintain accurate records to meet regulatory and audit requirements.

Features of an Asset Discovery solution

  1. Automated scanning across environments: Our tool continuously scans your network to detect all connected devices and software installations, including virtual machines and cloud services.

  2. Agent-based and agentless discovery options: Flexibility to choose between lightweight agents installed on devices or agentless scanning for a less intrusive approach.

  3. Detailed asset profiles: Collect extensive information about each asset, including IP addresses, usage metrics, and configuration data.

  4. Customizable filters: Focus on specific asset types, locations, or departments to streamline reporting and analysis.

Benefits of implementing Asset Discovery

  • Complete IT visibility: Gain a centralized, real-time overview of all IT assets, eliminating blind spots.

  • Security enhancements: Quickly identify rogue devices or unauthorized installations that may pose security risks.

  • Regulatory compliance: Ensure that your asset inventory aligns with industry regulations and audit requirements.

  • Cost optimization: Detect underutilized or redundant assets, enabling better resource allocation and cost savings.

  • Improved decision-making: Access accurate data to support strategic IT planning and infrastructure upgrades.
