## What is Start Left™ Asset Discovery, Inventory & Risk Mgmt?

Start Left® Security's Asset Discovery, Inventory & Risk Management is a use case within the Start Left™ Platform focused on Security Posture Management. It automates the discovery and inventory of software and cloud assets across an organization's product portfolio by integrating with DevOps CI/CD tools and cloud platforms.

Key capabilities include:

- Real-time asset discovery that identifies assets as they appear across code repositories and multi-cloud environments
- Automated, continuous inventory generation that includes ownership information, asset age, vulnerability scan data, and identification of unmanaged security concerns
- Product-centric risk views that correlate asset data streams to provide contextual risk visibility
- Risk prioritization based on user-defined or inferred criteria such as product criticality, data sensitivity, and internet exposure
- Identification and classification of previously unknown or unmanaged assets ("unknown unmanaged") across the product portfolio
- Continuous tracking of code repositories, multi-cloud platforms, and CI/CD tooling for risky changes
- Performance monitoring across developer, security, CloudOps, and GRC risk management functions
- Audit time reduction through automated compliance-relevant inventory data
- A no-code API for integration with existing tooling

The platform is designed to address the gap that exists when security teams lack visibility into development activities and outputs in CI/CD-driven environments, reducing mean time to inventory and accelerating risk remediation.
