CyberSecurity Asset Management Overview

CyberSecurity Asset Management (CSAM) helps you discover, identify, classify, and manage all your assets—known and unknown—across your hybrid IT environment. It continuously gathers information on all assets, listing system and hardware details, running services, open ports, installed software, and user accounts. It provides continuous visibility and enriched context to help you assess asset criticality and risk exposure, enabling better security decisions.

Using a combination of Qualys sensors — Cloud Agents, Scanners, and Passive Network Sensors — CSAM collects and analyzes data about assets across hybrid environments, and delivers up-to-date, comprehensive, and continuous information about those assets as well as their security and compliance posture.

With CSAM, you get the following:

Enriched asset data – hardware & software lifecycles, license categories, and more.
Bi-directional synchronization of asset data with your CMDB.
Ability to define and manage authorized and unauthorized software in your organization.
Customizable reporting to meet internal and external needs (for example, standards compliance reporting).
Alerting via email, Slack, Teams, or PagerDuty to inform you about assets requiring attention.

Asset Criticality and TruRisk Score

The Asset Criticality Score (ACS) represents how vital an asset is to your business, while the TruRisk Score is a comprehensive risk assessment that combines ACS with vulnerability data to prioritize remediation efforts.
