CyberSecurity Asset Management (CSAM) 3.0 by Qualys is a comprehensive cybersecurity asset management solution that provides continuous visibility across cloud, multi-cloud, on-premises, and IT/OT/IoT attack surfaces. The solution combines native scanning, agent-based detection, passive discovery, and API-based third-party connectors to identify and monitor assets, including unmanaged IoT/OT internal assets and internet-facing digital assets. CSAM discovers, tracks, and continuously monitors IT assets, enabling organizations to assess cyber risk, maintain CMDB synchronization, track End-of-Life/End-of-Support software, and detect unauthorized or misconfigured assets. It implements incremental discovery methods and integrates with Active Directory to extract critical device data for security posture assessment while bridging IT security gaps by aligning teams with consistent and accurate asset data. The solution reduces false positives by 60% compared to basic banner-grabbing tools and uncovers 34% more assets using built-in passive sensing capabilities.
