Asset Intelligence
That Tracks Every Device,
Vulnerability, and Certificate
Most security failures start with an asset nobody knew existed: an unpatched server, an expired certificate, a device no one remembers deploying. Enclave inventories every device, tracks every vulnerability, and surfaces every certificate on your network, without adding headcount or operational complexity.
Untracked Assets Are Where Breaches Start
Attackers don't need to breach your best-defended system if they can find your worst-tracked one. A forgotten server still running an unpatched OS, a certificate that expired without anyone noticing, or a device connected to the network that was never inventoried can each become the entry point for an incident. The problem is rarely a missing control; it's a control applied against an incomplete list of what actually needs protecting.
Asset intelligence closes that gap. It gives security teams a continuously updated inventory of every device, every piece of software, every certificate, and every known vulnerability across the network, so the controls that already exist have something complete to protect.
Every asset scanned daily against the National Vulnerability Database, prioritized with EPSS.
Unmanaged devices and forgotten certificates discovered automatically, in the same inventory.
| Asset | Last seen | EPSS | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| db-primary-02 | just now | 0.91 | Patch queued |
| legacy-fs-01 | 2 min ago | 0.38 | Cert expiring |
| hr-laptop-118 | 4 min ago | 0.07 | Compliant |
| cam-lobby-3 new | discovered | — | No agent |
How Enclave Delivers Asset Intelligence
Enclave's asset management module runs continuously in the background, collecting the data security teams need without manual spreadsheets or one-off scans.
Continuous Asset Inventory
Enclave's agent collects more than 80 data points from every host, including hardware, installed software, running listeners, firewall rules, local users, and installed certificates. Inventory updates automatically as the environment changes, so the list of what needs protecting never goes stale.
Vulnerability Discovery and Prioritization
Enclave scans every asset daily against the National Vulnerability Database and platform-specific trackers for Windows, Ubuntu, RedHat, and Debian. Each vulnerability is scored using EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System), so teams can prioritize the exploits attackers are most likely to use instead of working through a flat list of CVEs.
Network and Certificate Discovery
Enclave scans the local network for devices that don't have an agent installed and checks common TLS ports for certificate information. Anything discovered, whether it's an unmanaged device or a certificate nobody remembers issuing, shows up in the same inventory as everything else.
Built for Organizations with Compliance Obligations
Asset and vulnerability visibility is the control examiners ask about before any other, because you can't audit protections for systems nobody knows exist. Enclave's inventory and vulnerability data map directly to the frameworks most common in regulated industries.
The Strategy and the Infrastructure, From the Same Team
SideChannel's advisory practice has run security programs across hundreds of organizations. The same asset visibility gap appeared consistently: risk assessments were accurate the day they were written, but the inventory behind them went stale within weeks, tracked by hand in spreadsheets nobody had time to update. Enclave was built to close that gap.
When a vCISO needs a current asset inventory to build a risk assessment or close a compliance gap, Enclave provides it. Security leadership and security infrastructure, from the same team that built both.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is IT asset intelligence?
IT asset intelligence is the continuous discovery, inventory, and monitoring of every device, application, and certificate connected to a network. Unlike a one-time asset inventory, asset intelligence updates automatically as the environment changes, tracking hardware, software, certificates, and known vulnerabilities in a single system. Security teams use it to know what needs protecting before they decide how to protect it.
What is EPSS scoring?
EPSS, or Exploit Prediction Scoring System, estimates the probability that a known vulnerability will be exploited in the next 30 days. It gives security teams a way to prioritize patching based on real-world exploitation likelihood, rather than working through vulnerabilities in the order they were discovered. Enclave applies EPSS scoring to every vulnerability it detects, so the highest-risk issues surface first.
How does asset visibility help with compliance?
Most compliance frameworks require an accurate asset inventory before any other control can be assessed. CIS Controls v8 lists enterprise and software asset inventory as its first two controls, NIST CSF requires assets to be inventoried under the Identify function, and HIPAA risk analysis depends on knowing which systems handle protected health information. Enclave keeps that inventory current automatically.
How is vulnerability prioritization different from a CVE list?
A CVE list shows every known vulnerability across an environment, often numbering in the thousands, with no indication of which ones matter most. Vulnerability prioritization ranks that list by real-world risk, typically using a score like EPSS to estimate exploitation likelihood. Enclave applies this scoring automatically, so security teams can address the vulnerabilities attackers are most likely to use first, instead of working through the list in the order it was generated.
