Atera Network Discovery is a network scanning and inventory management tool built into the Atera RMM platform. It uses NMAP technology to detect and catalog devices connected to Workgroup networks, providing visibility into IT infrastructure. Core functionality: - Automatically scans networks to detect connected devices and catalogs them into a network inventory - Performs vulnerability checks by scanning for open ports associated with known security threats and identifying Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) - Monitors network devices for performance issues - Sends alerts when new or unauthorized devices connect to the network - Logs and tracks network changes over time Inventory and asset management: - Maintains a network inventory with device details, network information, and current status - Identifies device models (up to 2,000 models) - Supports onboarding of new devices to reduce manual configuration effort - Tracks hardware and software for upgrade planning and resource allocation Operational metrics (as stated by the vendor): - Performs approximately 50,000 scans per month - Identifies approximately 200 CVEs monthly - Identifies approximately 2,000 device models - Can fully map a network in approximately 10 minutes Scheduling and deployment: - Includes a scan scheduler for configuring scan frequency - Supports scalable agent deployment for scanning across monitored networks - Integrates with the broader Atera RMM platform
