"As the recognized authority for cloud security best practices around the world, we are always advocating for strategic shifts in policies to improve the security of the global compute ecosystem. The principle of maximum IT asset visibility is a fundamental prerequisite to improving our security posture, and we recommend this game-changing philosophy to our 95,000+ members," said
With the free Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory app, you can:
- Automatically create a continuous, real-time inventory of known and unknown assets across your global IT footprint. The assets can be any assets from on-premises, endpoints, multi-cloud, mobile, containers, OT and IoT.
- Automatically classify, normalize, and categorize assets to ensure clean, reliable, and consistent data. In-depth asset details provide fine-grained visibility on the system, services, installed software, network, and users.
- Search across millions of assets and have full visibility of any device in seconds.
- Instantly detect any device that connects to your networks, via our passive scanning technology. Upon an unknown device detection, users can install a light-weight
Qualys self-updating agent (3MB) to turn the device into a managed device or launch a vulnerability scan.
Additional features such as hardware and software lifecycle and license information, the ability to tag business-critical assets, several new workflows, synchronization of assets with the ServiceNow CMDB and the ability to automatically quarantine unknown devices or known devices that have been deemed out of compliance or compromised will be available as paid subscriptions.
