How to build an accurate IT asset inventory
Modern IT environments — especially at large organizations — are complex, with many dependencies. This causes significant challenges — and costs — when organizations need to recover from data breaches or other IT outages.
According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, more than 75% of the organizations that recovered from a data breach needed more than 100 days to recover. The global average cost of responding to a breach increased 10% from the previous year — primarily due to business disruption and post-breach activities.
Research by Enterprise Strategy Group found that 95% of survey respondents experienced challenges related to fully understanding their organization’s IT asset inventory, and 73% of them have “strong awareness” of less than 80% of all assets.
A complete, up-to-date IT asset inventory is essential for business continuity and disaster recovery, managing risk, complying with regulatory requirements, and supporting digital transformation initiatives. But what’s the best approach to building one?
