A useful way to think about dealing with cybersecurity threats is from an asset management angle. The average agency has multiple software applications of its own devoted to detecting and mitigating threats. By one estimate, large agencies have on average no less than 100 cybersecurity tools. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency also supplies agencies with tools used governmentwide. It adds up to a long list of assets. But that’s not where it ends.

Each of these applications generates data about something in the IT infrastructure, often large amounts. These data sets, too, are assets to manage.

These assets exist in addition to the agency’s hardware components, from network appliances to end user devices.

Not to be overlooked are the growing volumes of data in commercial clouds.

The goal, then, of asset management become what one industry expert calls the essential challenge, namely, establishing a single and comprehensive source of truth. That is, visibility into the totality of cyber assets. Combined with the right analytics, the result is information that is both actionable and effective.

An expert panel details the challenges of cybersecurity asset management as well as the latest strategies for meeting them.
