Asset Risk Assessment
Identify and address security vulnerabilities, rogue / malicious devices and empower organisations to control their IT infrastructure effectively and efficiently.
What is an Asset Risk Assessment
Asset visibility is the cornerstone of IT control. Just like you cannot manage what you cannot see, you cannot effectively secure or optimise your IT infrastructure without knowing what devices, software, and data you have.
Asset visibility allows IT teams to identify and address security vulnerabilities, rogue / malicious devices and empowers organisations to control their IT infrastructure effectively and efficiently. All crucial aspects of maintaining a stable and secure IT environment.
What we do
The service is delivered utilising both virtual appliances at switch level to monitor the whole network traffic and identify devices, and deployment of endpoint agents. This allows us to DNA fingerprint all devices connected to the network and provide an inventory of assets alongside validation of those assets.
This solves a huge problem in the asset space, of knowing and understanding exactly what is connected to the network, do we know about it and what threats are relevant.
Key Features
Complete visibility and control (optional) for hardware devices and augment hardware risk mitigation.
Continuous monitoring for any changes of the entire asset infrastructure to detect behavioural changes or anomalies. Augmented by OSINT data sources and providing up to date threat intel on known to be vulnerable assets.
Discover devices masquerading as legitimate devices including peripherals such as keyboards, mice and over 200 million other devices.
Identify key loggers, hidden cameras / microphones, and rubber duckies.
Identify shadow IT assets.
Discover and understand switch vulnerabilities
Rogue Device Mitigation - Threat mitigation upon discovery of identified rogue or threatening devices
Integrations with existing security platforms such as NACs and SOARs for mitigation.
Actionable visibility – Each device has an Asset Risk Factor (ARF) score automatically generated. Using fingerprinting techniques, we can determine a devices DNA along with location, and rules, enabling a prioritised risk-based approach to remediation.
Asset risk is controlled automatically enforcing hardware usage through granular access controls with the ability to block assets based on policy breach and or known attacks.
Key Benefits of an Asset Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment and Mitigation
When you can see all the assets in your environment, you can assess their risk levels accurately. This allows you to prioritise security efforts and apply appropriate controls where needed e.g. identifying unpatched systems or unauthorised devices becomes easier.
Compliance and Regulatory Requirements
Many regulations and standards (such as GDPR, HIPAA and NIST) mandate proper asset management and visibility. Organisations must demonstrate compliance by maintaining an accurate inventory of their assets.
Incident Response
In the event of a security incident, knowing what assets are affected is essential. Asset visibility enables faster incident detection, containment, and remediation. Without it, responding quickly and effectively is incredibly challenging.
Reducing Attack Surface
Unseen or unmanaged assets create an expanded attack surface. Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in these hidden assets. By having visibility, you can reduce this surface area and enhance security.
Resource Optimisation
Asset visibility helps optimise resource allocation. You can allocate security resources, such as monitoring tools or personnel, more efficiently when you know exactly what assets exist.
Business Contiuity
Understanding your asset landscape ensures smoother operations. You can plan for maintenance, upgrades, and replacements without disrupting critical services
