"Cloud migration and flexible working policies have contributed to the sprawl, but part of the reason it's so unmanageable is that companies still rely on the same old discovery tools built for a static network. Whenever we scan a new environment, we always uncover a large number of devices that were completely off the radar and out of scope of the protection of their IT and security policies."
"I've seen firsthand how tools designed for traditional network perimeters can't keep pace with today's dynamic IT estates. Teams often rely on scanners and network-only probes that run on a fixed schedule and assume a static inventory. But that simply isn't true anymore. Users with unmanaged BYOD devices log on in coffee shops, ephemeral cloud virtual machines spin up and down, and operational technology or IoT gear is often overlooked entirely."
Enterprises have rapidly expanded IT estates across home offices, BYOD devices, and multiple cloud environments, creating severe asset visibility challenges. Legacy discovery tools built for static networks fail to detect ephemeral cloud VMs, unmanaged BYOD devices, and overlooked OT or IoT equipment. Security scans commonly reveal around 15% or more of infrastructure that is off the radar and outside protection and access controls. Unseen assets often lack regular security updates, creating exploitable gaps that cyber threat actors actively target. Channel partners can help customers adopt proactive asset discovery like Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) to find and secure rogue assets and create new revenue streams.
