A reliable IT / IoT / OT and Software Asset Lifecycle Management forms the basis for security and compliance in your organization. However, such initiatives often fail to succeed due to a lack of skilled workers or the necessary resources. This serves as a gateway for attackers and as justification for software vendors to enforce audits, leaving organizations with additional workload and significant financial and reputational risks due to security and compliance breaches. It is therefore essential for every company and its auditors to ensure that the requirements for a reliable asset lifecycle management are met.
Inventory and manage your IT / IoT / OT (Industrial Control Systems) and software assets efficiently and comprehensively.
Supported by our GRC applications, we identify your critical assets and enable detailed insights into all network compatible devices, connected peripherals, installed applications and their use, regardless of the type, location or status of the devices and whether they are in the company network or not.
