FAQ
FAQs: Assets Visibility and Risk Management
What is asset visibility and risk management?
Asset visibility and risk management is continuously discovering every device and system on a network - including the unmanaged and unknown ones - and assessing the risk each one carries.
Why does asset visibility and risk management matter right now?
As IT environments grow more distributed and threats more automated, gaps in asset visibility and risk management are exactly what attackers look for first - making it one of the higher-leverage areas to get right.
What are common mistakes organizations make with asset visibility and risk management?
The most common pattern is treating asset visibility and risk management as a one-time setup rather than an ongoing program - controls drift out of date as the environment changes, and nobody notices until something goes wrong.
How often should asset visibility and risk management be reviewed?
Continuously, ideally - asset visibility and risk management works best as an always-on program rather than a quarterly or annual checklist item, since new risks appear between review cycles too.
