Endpoint Inventory Management
By CtrlOne Team ·
You govern better when you know what is installed. This whitepaper covers using software inventory for governance and is explicit that CtrlOne is not a full IT asset-management or license-procurement system.
Inventory informs control
Knowing which applications are present across the fleet is the basis for sensible application control - you cannot allow or deny what you have not accounted for.
Visibility feeds governance
Inventory visibility, recorded over time, helps spot unexpected software and supports consistent policy decisions across groups.
Scope of CtrlOne's inventory
CtrlOne provides software inventory visibility to support governance and application control. It is not a full IT asset-management, hardware-asset, or license-procurement system. CtrlOne is a Windows configuration, hardening, and device-governance platform - not an antivirus, EDR, SIEM, or analytics product. It reduces attack surface and produces provable governance evidence, complementing the detection and analytics tools that measure, monitor, and respond.
