Businesses grapple with many intricate challenges in IT asset management and IT security. Keeping track of an extensive array of hardware, software, and network devices becomes complex in environments with cloud-based and on-premises assets. On the IT security front, the relentless evolution of threats such as malware and ransomware requires constant vigilance, proactive defense strategies, and regular updates and patches to secure software.
The growing prevalence of remote and mobile workforces, compounded by Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies, introduces additional complexities in asset management and security. Meanwhile, IT teams must comply with data privacy laws like GDPR and HIPAA while navigating increasingly complex software licensing models.
Integrating IT asset management with infrastructure and security monitoring presents a unified approach to address many challenges effectively. By combining these functions, businesses can gain a holistic view of their IT infrastructure for complete visibility and better control over physical and software assets. Real-time tracking of asset performance and security status becomes possible, helping teams streamline patch management and remediate any vulnerabilities quickly.
With these potential benefits in mind, SenHub has partnered with Lansweeper to create a unique integration that brings together Lansweeper’s market-leading IT asset discovery and recognition capabilities with infrastructure monitoring tools via SenHub and its library of cloud connectors.
