Comprehensive Device Discovery

Deconflict Data Sources

Most organizations piece together various technologies to gain an understanding of all assets and their security states — but that creates visibility gaps. Axonius aggregates data from hundreds of adapter integrations and other data sources that are then normalized, deduplicated, and correlated to create a credible, comprehensive asset inventory.

Reconcile CMDB Records

CMDBs get stale — quickly. They are often only populated by one or two discovery sources, rendering the data incomplete or unreliable. The Axonius Platform identifies gaps that otherwise wouldn’t be visible in a CMDB. Axonius complements CMDB discovery tools with correlated data from multiple sources to create rich, accurate CMDB records. Devices can be found regardless of whether they’re online or the last time they were used. By integrating with network infrastructure to identify unmanaged IoT, OT, or ephemeral devices, Axonius makes it possible to account for these devices.

Augment Device Scans

Axonius tells you how an asset is currently configured instead of relying on data reported in the last scan. The platform supplements scan data with other sources — such as EDR/EPP and network-based solutions. Axonius enables you to find vulnerabilities outside of scan cycles by correlating installed software across vulnerability databases.

Find Rogue Devices

Unmanaged and agentless rogue devices are hard to find, yet pose security risks. Axonius can see where your agents can’t. Agents are seldom installed on every device — or even subnet. By connecting to multiple data sources, including network and other infrastructure levels, Axonius can see assets that have never been managed by an agent. The platform sees where agents are deployed, where they’re missing, and when they’re malfunctioning. When agents are too big to deploy — such as on legacy servers, medical or OT devices — Axonius connects to routers, switches, firewalls, and more to assess the configuration.
