DISCOVERY

Your company is likely to be made up of thousands of digital assets – each one a potential ingress path for cyber-crime if not secured correctly.

Do you know how many you have in your organisation? How confident are you that they’re all secure? Any uncertainty around this could expose your business to non-compliance and threats of cyber-attacks.

IT asset discovery is the very first step to gaining a complete and comprehensive visibility of the assets within your network. It allows you to see connected entities and provides a snapshot of the complete hardware and software asset library for your organisation.

IT Asset Discovery

Identifying IT assets is no easy task. Our service uses signature-based asset correlation to identify all devices on your networks, whether managed or unmanaged, known or unknown. This provides you with a true understanding of the scope of your estate and greater awareness of associated risks.

Visibility

With constant flow of equipment and applications in and out of your organisation, it can be challenging having an accurate inventory. By having a comprehensive view of all digital assets within an organisation you can ensure an efficient cyber security programme and simplify the process of asset acquisition.

Security

IT Asset Discovery helps identify vulnerabilities and risks, enabling proactive security measures by classifying critical assets and identifying security gaps and areas that require improvements.

Compliance

With a comprehensive understanding of your IT assets, you can be in a better position to manage risks and policy enforcement.

This proactive approach helps in preventing fines associated with unauthorised software and minimises the risk of a data breach.

Efficiency

You’ll now be able to streamline asset management, reduce operational costs and ensure that your IT assets are always up-to-date. It will also be easier to identify and remove non-critical assets from your organisation applications, so you can reduce costs by removing equipment that is no longer needed.

Risk Mitigation

Risks can come in the form of using out-of-date software, data leaks, and hacks through installing vulnerable applications.

Our IT Asset Discovery will help your organisation prevent cyber attacks by identifying and securing potential ingress points, highlighting who your potential attackers may be and what skills they have.

How does Security Risk Management work?

Step 1 – Deployment

Discovery agents are deployed at key points on your network/s (internal, cloud and hybrid) to identify network traffic meta data and identify digital assets. Agents can be deployed remotely to your estate as virtual machines.

Step 2 – Analysis

Metadata on assets is processed and automatically analysed within our secure cloud centres and presented to our security consultants for validation and investigation. No payload data is sent outside your organisation.

Step 3 – Reporting

Our team will review and analyse the information gathered and provide a report detailing the assets discovered. We will produce recommendations for improvement opportunities based on these findings. During the discovery period, the tooling will be available to you to review in real-time the assets being identified and the amount of detail able to be captured and presented.

“It’s refreshing to talk to a business who take the time to understand the needs of our organisation. They just seem to ask the right questions to deliver the solutions without fuss. The suggested improvements they provided will be instrumental in helping us enhance our cybersecurity practice – highly recommended.“

FAQ

What is the best first step in securing my organisation?

Some say knowledge is power, and that’s certainly the case in cybersecurity.

You can’t really do much without a complete understanding of what your digital assets are, the role they play in your network and what vulnerabilities that reveals.

It’s for this reason that IT Asset Discovery is an excellent first step towards solid cyber defence and getting your critical assets protected.

If you’re looking to take the initial steps in ratcheting up your information security resilience, this service is a very good place to start.

I’m pretty sure I know what assets are on my network, is this service redundant to me?

Even if you have a decent understanding of what your business’ digital assets are, categorising and classifying them may not be as easy.

This is important, as it allows you to understand their use and relative importance in terms of data sensitivity and their support of business processes.

Our IT Asset Discovery tool provides real time asset information and status to help you make sense of all your assets, depending on category. It also allows you to quickly search for devices, applications, locations, state and device interaction.
