- Use case
The gear nobody on the inside owns.
Every building has devices that somebody else installed and runs: the vending machine, the building management contractor's controllers, the signage, the maintenance line. They are on your network. They are on nobody's register.
- 01The specific problem
A third party manages these devices remotely and patches them on its own schedule, and the tools that expect an agent or a login on every device cannot see them at all. When one is compromised, it is compromised inside your perimeter.
- 02What changes
They appear on the record like anything else, with what they are and how certain that is. On one campus the sweep found three that the IT team had no view of at all.
- 03The conversation it enables
You cannot negotiate a security requirement with a vendor whose equipment you cannot enumerate. Enumerating it comes first.
CrossScan and SpacesIQ, usually in that order.
Bring a closet a vendor installed.
Pick a closet a vendor installed. Thirty minutes is enough to list what is on its switch.
