Asset Discovery
BEAK ITAM provides agentless and agent-based discovery to automatically detect and inventory IT assets across your entire environment.
Discovery Methods
Agent-Based Discovery
Deploy the BEAK agent on endpoints to collect detailed hardware, software, and configuration data in real-time.
Agentless Discovery
Scan network ranges and cloud APIs to discover assets without installing software. Supports SNMP, WMI, SSH, and cloud provider APIs.
Cloud Discovery
Automatically discover assets across cloud providers:
- AWS — EC2 instances, RDS databases, S3 buckets, Lambda functions
- Azure — Virtual machines, App Services, SQL databases, storage accounts
- GCP — Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions
SaaS Discovery
Detect SaaS applications in use across your organization through network traffic analysis and SSO integration. Identify shadow IT and unauthorized SaaS usage.
Discovery Scope
| Environment | Methods | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|
| On-Premises | Agent, Agentless (SNMP/WMI/SSH) | Hardware, OS, software, patches, configurations |
| Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) | Cloud API integration | Instances, services, costs, tags, configurations |
| SaaS | SSO integration, network analysis | Application usage, license consumption, user activity |
| Virtual | Hypervisor integration | VMs, resource allocation, host mapping |
Scheduling
Configure discovery scans to run on custom schedules — hourly, daily, or weekly — to keep your asset inventory current without impacting network performance.
Data Normalization
Discovered assets are automatically normalized, deduplicated, and categorized. Hardware models, software titles, and vendor names are standardized against BEAK's reference database.
