Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) can do everything Security Asset Management tools can do – and plenty more besides. It future-proofs your investment.
What do Security Asset Management Platforms do well?
Establishing complete visibility of your IT estate is crucial. Security Asset Management tools can provide visibility into your IT environment by creating a comprehensive asset inventory.
But these tools have limitations to their functionalities and capabilities. This means that they’re not a very future-proof investment.
They can help you establish visibility and find device-centric coverage gap insights. But what if you need to expand to other use-cases in the future?
What can’t Security Asset Management Platforms do?
Build a complete picture of your security posture
Security Asset Management provides heavily-device-centric insights, which means it doesn’t take into account patch, application, user or account-related data. This leaves you with a critically incomplete picture of your actual security posture.
Scale up to new use cases
These tools can help you build an asset inventory. But they can’t tell you what to do with that inventory or help you take action to secure it.
More complex use cases such as automated security reporting or substantiating regulatory compliance have to be carried out manually or by other tools.
Combine insights across multiple security domains to surface key risk indicators
These tools couldn’t show you:
- a list of employees who have repeatedly failed phishing tests but have been made local admins,
- which of those people are using machines with vulnerabilities that haven’t been patched within SLA,
- when a set of criteria like this were met, nor could it trigger the necessary next steps to resolve them.
Future proof your investments with CCM and gain more than just security asset management
Just about every Security Asset Management tool will help you gain device-centric visibility, find controls gaps and enforce security policy.
