CRITICALSTART® Asset Visibility
Improve security posture and reduce risk by proactively identifying security coverage gaps and ensuring the right controls are in place.
The Challenges
- Little confidence your MDR or your SOC is receiving comprehensive threat data
- Inability to proactively identify and remediate security coverage gap blind spots to maximize your defenses and mitigate risk
- No guidance on which security gaps to prioritize to increase security posture and reduce risk exposure
- Reliance on periodic, manual data collection with no checks and balances to align asset inventory with threat signals received
- Limited access to a continuously updated, consolidated inventory for comprehensive visibility into assets missing endpoint security coverage
- No data-driven insights to help optimize your security programs and get the most value from your investments
Our Solutions
Find unsecured assets and close security gaps before attackers can exploit them with Critical Start Asset Visibility. Strengthen threat monitoring, speed response, and reduce risk with unified data from your existing security tools for enhanced visibility and control.
- Asset Visibility: If you need a stand-alone solution that provides enhanced asset visibility and management capabilities beyond EDR, Critical Start Asset Visibility gives you a trusted view of your assets with criticality tagging to ensure full protection.
- Endpoint Coverage Gap Analysis: Quickly identify and fix endpoints that lack security coverage. By acting on this intelligence, you can be assured that your Security Operations Center (SOC) is continually receiving the expected signals for threat identification and containment.
Unite the CISOs, SecOps, and Other Strategic Teams Against Risk
Combined with RSOC investigations, risk and compliance tracking, mitigation recommendations, and vulnerability data, teams use insights from Asset Visibility to get a holistic view of their organization’s risk posture and take action on risk remediation recommendations.

Keep an eye on all your assets
Gain visibility into all your assets across the entire IT ecosystem for a better understanding of the level of risk exposure your organization faces.
- Get a consolidated and normalized Asset Inventory built from your security and asset data sources
- Eliminate blind spots with comprehensive visibility into unknown or unmanaged assets
- Efficiently manage host exclusions and assign asset criticality tiers
Rely on a single-source-of-truth asset inventory that stays updated even as assets change.
Don’t let threats slip through the gaps
Pinpoint where you lack coverage using risk-aware gap analysis and create intelligent remediation plans that reduce the most risk and ensure the right controls are always in place.
- Leverage easy-to-understand dashboards like the gap analysis overlayed onto your asset inventory, highlighting Endpoint Coverage Security Gaps and unprotected assets
- Know where to focus first with Asset Criticality ratings that categorize risk impact based on functional criticality to the business.
- Focus limited resources on fixes with the highest impact to risk and your business.
Keep pace with business changes to control cyber risk
Security teams can manage and control the dynamic nature of cyber risk exposure by staying up to date with changes across the business using the data administration and management features within Asset Visibility, including:
- A unified asset inventory
- In-depth analysis and exclusion
- Reporting and exports
- De-duplication and exclusion
- End-of-life OS identification
- Trend analysis
- Self-service integrations
- Search and filter capabilities, and
- Configuration Management Database (CMDB) augmentation via export
Make data-driven decisions
In addition to improving your NIST CSF maturity levels with continuous asset visibility across hosts, criticality ratings, and endpoint coverage gaps, Asset Visibility helps optimize your security programs and provides you with the most value from your cybersecurity investments.
Asset Visibility is one of several data sources that feed into Critical Start’s Risk-Ranked Recommendations. With this data as part of the Cyber Risk Dashboard, you can analyze your organization’s security posture and risk exposure against best practices and peer benchmarks. You’ll gain the data-driven insights you need to continually take the next best actions that reduce the most risk.
-
Part of our Cyber Operations Risk & Response™ platform, Asset Visibility is available in two tiers to fit your unique cyber risk management needs:
