You can only protect what you know. This use case delivers a reliable asset overview of everything that actually exists on the network – including unknowns, OT/IoT and legacy. Goal: fewer surprises in incidents, audits and changes within 60 days.
If you’d like, we’ll show you discovery, deduplication and tagging in a short demo – together with the solution lead from our technology partner.
CMDBs age, scanners see only parts, agents don’t cover everything, OT/IoT often falls through the cracks. This creates blind spots that only become visible in audits or incidents. Without a reliable overview, questions like “do we have protection everywhere?” are hard to answer.
We quickly build a reliable asset overview and make it usable: duplicates out, context in, ownership defined. Then an operational cadence follows so unknowns continuously decrease.
Typical timeframe: 2–4 weeks until asset overview v1.
Define scope/segments
Run discovery
Clean up and consolidate results
Define tags/ownership
Asset overview v1 + prioritise unknowns backlog
Does this replace the CMDB?
No – it’s the reliable overview that can improve and feed the CMDB/ITSM.
Does it need agents?
No – that’s exactly what makes the quick start possible.
How do you handle OT/IoT?
Pragmatically: make visible, prioritise, then define guardrails.
How does it stay current?
With the drift/change use case (see “Changes & Drift Under Control”).
Let’s make unknowns visible and cleanly clarify ownership.
