Organizations are increasingly being driven by the growing exposure to breaches in IT security and assets. With the constant headlines of late, enterprises should make sure that they are protected. If you have a solid Asset tracking solution you can protect your enterprise for security disasters before disaster occurs.
Security of IT infrastructure is critical to protecting data, and is often a prerequisite for regulatory compliance - acts like Sarbanes-Oxley require documentation of IT security processes to ensure that data is secure. Security begins with a thorough inventory of all hardware and software assets. Without knowing what assets they currently have, companies cannot possibly set in place effective processes for securing their IT infrastructure.
A comprehensive IT Asset Management (ITAM) solution gathers all necessary inventory data and establishes a process for continual updating of this inventory to ensure accurate records are kept. The process of taking an asset inventory also contributes to an organization's security. The discovery phase of an IT audit helps uncover unauthorized software or hardware installed, without approval, by employees. In helping IT departments discover what is installed and where, ITAM can identify weak spots that are vulnerable to security threats.
With an effective ITAM process in place to address the entire lifecycle of an asset, from initial installation to final disposal, organizations can ensure that proprietary data and licensed software are deleted from hardware devices before they are removed from the office. With data theft an increasing concern, this final phase of ITAM is crucial.
