Asset Discovery

IT Asset Discovery for Trusted Data and AI-Driven Action

Turn continuous IT asset discovery into accurate, AI-ready data. Ivanti Neurons continuously discovers, normalizes and reconciles asset data to create a trusted system of record — so teams can act faster, reduce risk and automate with confidence.

IT asset discovery that builds a trusted data foundation

Continuously discover assets across IT, cloud and IoT environments. Normalize and reconcile asset data to eliminate gaps and duplication, creating a consistent, reliable dataset for security, compliance and optimization.

Real-time IT asset discovery and exposure visibility

Discover assets as they appear, including hidden or intermittently connected devices, through active and passive scanning across SaaS, cloud, OT/IoT, and legacy environments.

Asset data is automatically normalized and reconciled into a single, authoritative view. It flows directly into ITAM, AEM, CMDB, and operational workflows, giving teams the context they need to act quickly and correctly.

From IT asset discovery to AI-driven action

AI is only as effective as the data behind it. Ivanti Neurons uses continuous discovery to identify assets, then normalizes and reconciles that data into a trusted, current system of record.

This authoritative asset foundation allows AI and automation to move beyond insight, enabling accurate prioritization, faster decisions and governed actions across IT and security. Without trusted asset data, AI detects signals. With it, AI drives outcomes.

Unified IT asset discovery across multi-source data connections

Connect and reconcile asset data across platforms, including Google Chrome Enterprise, Microsoft Azure AD, AWS, ServiceNow, Jamf, and more.

Ivanti Neurons consolidates this data into a complete, consistent asset view, regardless of how or where assets are managed.

Features and capabilities

Visibility into vulnerabilities and threat exposures

Security is foundational, and aggregated exposure visibility empowers confident, proactive action. Through continuous discovery within the platform, vulnerability findings from tools like Tenable, Rapid7, and Qualys are aggregated with native scans to create centralized exposure intelligence across all your assets. View exposed assets, prioritize remediation with context rich risk data and support remediation with clearer priorities, guided best actions and automation.

See every asset and risk instantly

Maintain continuous visibility into assets and exposures with no blind spots.

Trust your data

Normalization and reconciliation eliminate duplicates and inconsistencies to create a holistic inventory.

Optimize software costs

Discovery driven license insights support usage visibility, compliance, and spend optimization.

Reduce risk faster

Centralized vulnerability aggregation accelerates prioritization and response through platform execution.

Act with confidence

Actionable dashboards and consolidated reports surface exposure, usage, and compliance gaps for prioritization before escalation.

Maximize performance

Trusted asset intelligence supports system health and business priorities.

FAQs

What is IT asset discovery?

IT asset discovery is the process of identifying and continuously tracking assets across an organization’s environment, including devices, software, and cloud resources. In Ivanti Neurons, discovery continuously detects new and existing assets and feeds a system of record, ensuring the data used by teams, automation, and AI remains accurate and current.

How do IT asset discovery tools work?

Within the Ivanti Neurons platform, IT asset discovery capabilities use active and passive discovery to identify assets such as devices, software, cloud resources, IoT, and remote systems across environments. The platform then ingests, normalizes, deduplicates, and reconciles that data into a consistent dataset, providing a single, reliable view of the environment for workflows, automation, and AI.

Why is continuous asset discovery important for IT and security?

Point-in-time discovery creates gaps that lead to inconsistent data and missed risk. In Ivanti Neurons, continuous discovery keeps the platform aligned with the real-time state of the environment, including new or transient assets. This allows teams and automation to act on complete information, improving consistency and reducing operational and security risk.

What is the difference between asset discovery and asset inventory?

Asset discovery identifies assets as they appear across environments. Asset inventory builds on that by maintaining a structured, continuously updated record enriched with lifecycle, ownership, and context. In Ivanti Neurons, discovery feeds the system of record, while inventory represents the governed dataset used for decisions and execution.

How does asset discovery support a system of record and AI?

Asset discovery provides the visibility required to build a system of record. In Ivanti Neurons, discovered data is continuously refined into a governed dataset that serves as the trusted source of truth. This allows AI and automation to operate on consistent, validated data, supporting accurate decisions and safe execution.
