What’s New in Lansweeper

Summer is here, and so is the exciting Lansweeper 2024 Summer Release! This launch includes various updates and enhancements designed to provide more profound and more comprehensive insights into your IT infrastructure. Let’s explore the highlights of this launch!

A Solid New Base for Network Discovery

Network Discovery is the core of Lansweeper. Each launch aims to deliver broader, deeper, and better discovery capabilities. We’ve completely revamped our network discovery technology to offer the most comprehensive asset visibility. The new Lansweeper discovery technology is now available in preview.

Setting up and maintaining your scanning is now easier and faster than ever, with no credentials needed out of the box. The new scanning engine discovers every connected IT and OT asset without credentials or an agent. It installs on Windows, Linux, or macOS and automatically updates all platforms. Use encrypted vaults to store your credentials securely.

The Next Level of Public Cloud Discovery

Since its debut as a Beta feature in Fall 2023, Public Cloud Inventory has rapidly evolved. The latest improvements to Cloud Discovery, now in preview, let you scan multiple environments simultaneously and import cloud tags from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. You can now create customized views for cloud assets, enhancing integration with major cloud providers and boosting multi-cloud management efficiency.

Minimize Exposure With Prioritized and Automated Vulnerability Management

The Asset-Centric Approach to Risk Insights

While vulnerabilities need resolution, what matters is their impact on your assets. That’s why we’ve shifted Risk Insights to focus on asset-centric views of threats to your network. With your assets at the center of your risk insights, you can quickly prioritize issues, reducing response and remediation time for effective vulnerability management.

You will also have easy access to exploitability information for network vulnerabilities, along with patch information and direct links. Risk Insights pulls this information from new sources, such as VulnCheck and VulDB, and provides insights into OT vulnerabilities.

Integrations to Automate and Optimize Your Vulnerability Management

To streamline vulnerability and patch management, we have introduced new integrations.

Automox: Integrates with Lansweeper to offer an all-in-one solution for discovering, managing, and optimizing your technology assets. Lansweeper’s vulnerability insights are imported directly into the Automox console, organized, and prioritized for swift remediation. Automating this process reduces exposure time, enhancing your security posture. Remediation is policy-driven, ensuring endpoint devices receive the latest updates and patches automatically.

ThreatAware: Provides real-time visibility, monitoring, and management of your digital assets and cybersecurity tools, including the health and status of deployed cybersecurity tools and controls. Integrating ThreatAware with Lansweeper ensures all devices are discovered, visible, and protected.

Optimizing Core Features

Take Charge of Your OT Asset Data

To bridge the gap between OT and IT management, we’ve added new enhancements to OT management. You can manually create or delete OT assets, customize asset states, and perform bulk actions. Lifecycle information has been added for your OT assets, and your OT data is now accessible through the API. These improvements lead to more comprehensive OT management, with easier maintenance and compliance, integrating seamlessly into your existing workflows.

Streamlining Your Software Decisions

Behind the scenes, further enhancements have been made to software data normalization. Naming conventions across the platform have been standardized and integrated with UNSPSC standards, ensuring reliable and streamlined software data. Software reporting continues to expand, providing the data you need for informed decision-making.

Additional Enhancements

• User Visibility: Now tracks asset ownership, primary user assignments, and login activity, offering greater control over asset/user relationships and improving security and compliance. User details are searchable for easier access.
• Improved Diagrams: Generate and display diagrams faster and more legibly, offering stronger visuals for strategic planning and network oversight.
• Custom Fields: By the end of June, custom fields will sync from on-prem to your Lansweeper Site, be included in reports, and be accessible through the API for integrations.

Know Your IT

The Lansweeper Deepscan engine discovers any asset in your corporate network without installing any software on them. There’s no environment or asset Lansweeper can’t handle.
