ITAM and Cyber Security

The Attack Surface Proves Unmanageable Without ITAM
The porous attack surface is the weak points on a system that attackers can exploit to cause harm. To manage the attack surface, it's important to keep an accurate inventory of all assets, including corporate-owned, employee-owned, and vendor-owned. Monitoring changes in real-time with IMACD (install, move, add, change, dispose) can help, but this process depends on upstream processes, policies, and standards that begin before acquisition and continue after end-of life. Exceptions should be limited and these processes, policies, and standards must have executive management support.
