At ARCOA, we have noticed the recent increase in discussions with industry professionals and the awareness of the impact of a documented ITAM process as it relates to Cyber Security Practices. Well, it’s about time!
Effective hardware management is a fundamental aspect of IT Asset Management (ITAM). Ensuring proper tagging, tracking, and documenting of hardware assets throughout the organization is crucial to the sophistication of an ITAM strategy. In the event of a security breach, the immediate concern is to ascertain which hardware components are present within the infrastructure, their connection statuses, the users interacting with them, and the rationale behind their current locations. Without implementing consistent procedures for tagging, tracking, and documenting the entire lifecycle of our hardware assets, we are unable to promptly and accurately respond to such fundamental inquiries. It is imperative to outline and underscore the essential operations that underpin a robust ITAM program and to understand their significance in enhancing the organization’s cybersecurity posture.
