ITAM and Cyber Security
To have a successful cyber security program, every framework stresses the importance of having an accurate inventory. However, none of them explain how to achieve it. The solution is IT Asset Management.

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.
