Perhaps we have been looking at the problem from the wrong angle. If we agree that visibility is the end goal, over-dependence on agentless solutions (a.k.a traditional network scanning) might not help to achieve your visibility goals. On the other hand, whilst agent-based solutions are excellent in providing a holistic view (capturing and reporting hardware, software, and traffic information as it happens), the problem with discovering unknown and unmanaged devices in your environment remains.

So, we thought, why not have the best of both worlds?

An agent-based solution that provides comprehensive visibility and does discovery of devices at the same time!
