Building an Accurate IT Asset Inventory
Go beyond lists and create sustainable business value.
A complete, up-to-date IT asset inventory is essential for managing risk, complying with regulatory requirements, and supporting digital transformation initiatives. But what’s the best approach to building one?
Having an accurate asset inventory has been increasingly emphasized in regulations, but existing asset inventory deployments are incomplete and fragmented. According to a research paper by the Enterprise Strategy Group, “Security Hygiene and Posture Management Remains Decentralized and Complex,” 95% of respondents surveyed experienced challenges related to fully understanding their organization’s IT asset inventory, and 32% said they use at least 11 different databases, systems, and tools for security asset management. This illustrates how complicated something as seemingly simple as an asset inventory can be.
