For CIOs & CISOs, the current IT landscape is challenged by a lack of visibility and no clear understanding of what is required to get control of environments and more importantly, how to find the “edges” of a constantly growing network.
There are 2 separate – but related – practices that aim to address this challenge:
- IT Asset Management (ITAM) ensures an organization's assets are accounted for, deployed, maintained, upgraded, and disposed of when the time comes.
- Configuration Management Database (CMDB) contains all relevant information about the hardware and software components used in an organization's IT services and the relationships among those components.
While ITAM and CMDB are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Organizations need to both manage its tangible IT assets while at the same time maintain a holistic view across their IT estate to identify assets in real time and protect the business from security and compliance risks.
In this session, hear from Tanium partner Ernst & Young (EY) as they discuss practical ways to help you understand a proactive approach to effectively manage your ITAM and CMDB strategies to gain command and control of assets, reduce risk and maximize the value of IT investments.
