Assets & Agent Management

An accurate inventory of every endpoint, what runs on it, and whether its agent is healthy.

You cannot defend a machine you do not know about, or trust telemetry from an agent that stopped reporting last week. Assets & Agents keeps the fleet, its software and its agents in view.

  • Endpoint inventory
  • Tamper alerts
  • Versioned profiles

One asset record behind detections, vulnerabilities and software.

What is at stake

Every other control assumes the inventory is right.

Coverage you can state

You can say how many endpoints exist, how many are reporting and which are not.

Silent failures get noticed

An agent that stops reporting is raised as an alert, not discovered during an incident.

Consistent configuration

Profiles applied by group, with versions and rollback, keep collection consistent across similar machines.

Who carries this

Carried by IT operations and security together. The question they answer is whether every machine is known, covered and current.

The problem

The inventory is the control everything else depends on

Detection assumes there is an agent on the machine. Vulnerability management assumes you know what is installed. Response assumes the endpoint will answer. Each of those assumptions fails silently when the inventory is wrong.

The failure that matters most is the quiet one: an agent that stopped reporting. Whether it was uninstalled, crashed or deliberately disabled, the result is a machine nobody is watching, and the absence of alerts looks exactly like safety.

Assets & Agents treats the fleet as something to be monitored in its own right.

An endpoint that has gone silent is not a healthy endpoint. It is an unanswered question.

Capabilities

What Assets & Agents shows and manages

Endpoint inventory

Every endpoint with its operating system, agent version, group, status, last check-in and risk, plus fleet-level views of agent status, operating system distribution and agent versions. Outdated agents and endpoints with no recent events are counted separately.

Agent health and tamper alerts

Endpoints that stop reporting telemetry are raised as tamper alerts, because an agent stopping, being tampered with and losing connectivity all look the same at first. Fleet connectivity and build distribution show what needs attention.

Software inventory across the fleet

Packages with version, category and vendor, and the number of endpoints each is installed on, aggregated across the fleet.

Network and ports

Listening services and established connections with their remote peers, by endpoint, local port, service and process.

Groups and configuration profiles

Endpoints are organised into groups, and versioned configuration profiles set which collection modules run on a group. Profiles can be assigned and rolled back.

Endpoint telemetry

Process trees, network connections, script execution and persistence for any endpoint, available to the analyst during an investigation.

How it fits the platform

The inventory here is the same one vulnerability management scans against and detections resolve to, which is why a finding, a vulnerability and a software package all point at the same asset record.

How it works

From deployment to a managed endpoint

The life of an endpoint in the console.

  1. Deploy the agent

    Deployment starts from the console, using an enrolment token that expires.

  2. Place it in a group

    The group decides which configuration profile applies and which business unit the endpoint is counted in.

  3. Inventory fills in

    Software, ports, processes and operating system details are reported and kept current.

  4. Health is watched

    If the endpoint stops reporting, it is raised as a tamper alert and listed as needing attention.

  5. Policy changes are versioned

    A profile change applies to the whole group, and an earlier version can be restored.

Questions

Common questions

How do we find endpoints whose agent has stopped?

Agent Health raises tamper alerts for endpoints that stopped reporting telemetry and lists disconnected, pending and stale endpoints as needing attention.

Can we change what the agent collects on a group of machines?

Yes. Configuration profiles are versioned policies for agent modules. They are assigned to groups and can be rolled back.

Does the inventory include installed software?

Yes. The Software view aggregates packages across the fleet with version, category, vendor and the number of endpoints each is installed on.
