Lansweeper Asset Discovery is a network discovery and IT asset inventory platform that automatically identifies and catalogs connected devices across IT, OT, IoT, and cloud environments. The platform uses multiple discovery methods to ensure complete asset coverage: - Active Scanning: Direct, targeted scans to retrieve detailed information from known and managed devices. - Passive Discovery: Silent network traffic monitoring to detect unmanaged assets without disrupting operations. - Cloud API Integration: Native connections to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to discover VMs, containers, and cloud-native services without sensors. - IT Agent: Lightweight agents for Windows, macOS, and Linux that enable continuous discovery of remote or off-network devices. - Manual Uploads: Support for CSV/XLS imports and manual entry to capture offline or legacy devices. For each discovered asset, Lansweeper collects hardware specifications, installed software, OS versions, and configuration details. The platform surfaces vulnerability information, shadow IT, and lifecycle risks to support security and IT decision-making. Asset data is maintained in a continuously updated inventory database, eliminating the need for manual scans and keeping records current. The platform also imports and syncs data from third-party sources such as SCCM and Intune to consolidate asset intelligence into a single source of truth. Lansweeper feeds asset data into external tools including ITSM, SIEM, and security platforms via integrations. It is trusted by over 30,000 environments across enterprise and mid-market organizations.
