Defense/Intelligence Agencies - Viable Assets
As Department of Defense (DoD) and intelligence agencies strive to improve operational efficiencies and harness IT assets to enhance mission-critical applications, one of the biggest obstacles is the growing complexity of managing IT assets and environments. Sophisticated sensors, real-time intelligence feeds, mobile communications and other innovative technologies give U.S. security forces a decisive edge against potential foes, but they also increase the IT management challenge and enlarge the attack surface for malicious cyber attackers.
Traditional IT Asset Management (ITAM) tools lack the capability to accurately catalog the entire universe of software, hardware and virtual operating systems attached to their networks. Consequently, many organizations struggle to monitor their ever-expanding array of IT assets. You can’t manage, protect and account for assets that you can’t see.
