As security people we’ve always got an eye out for solutions that address very pressing, substantial, dare we say ‘sexy’ problems. But if we’re being honest, you get the greatest return on investment focusing on fundamentals - blocking and tackling - than you do fancy stuff that addresses edge cases. Not that you don’t need the latter, but absent the former you’re wasting time, energy, and money.
Case in point: IT Asset Management. Basically, keeping track of all the things. Easy, right? Well, there is what you bought (because procurement has the invoice to prove it), there is what you see (because some script or scan and says so), there is what you don’t know (because Alice in Logistics has purchase authority up to $10,000 and sometimes she buys IT without telling you)...and so on. What you think you have an what you actually have can be two entirely different things. That’s a problem on several levels.

Senrio Insight passively collects data on anything and everything that uses your bandwidth. By design, we do this to collect data on IoT devices, but a side-effect of that feature is that we can tell you with authority what’s actually in use - IT or IoT. How does this help you?
Senrio Insight can easily and cost-effectively provide up-to-date and relevant information to your asset management experts and system. If you’d like to know how, drop us a line and we’ll set up a demo.
- No more ambiguity about what is on your network.
- Identify discrepancies that could lead to gaps in protection (e.g. you bought 100 endpoint protection licenses for the 100 PCs you thought you had; you really have 110 PCs).
- Get a handle on how much of what you bought is actually in use over time (e.g. what needs replacing, what is still effectively brand new, how much less do you need to order this time).
