Asset inventory

Ground truth across cloud, on-prem and identity.

Overview

What INV does.

Asset Inventory is the ground-truth layer the rest of Protoxol stands on. It reconciles signal from EDR agents, NDR sensors, cloud APIs, IdP and VM scanners into a single record per asset — with an owner, a tier, a service, a blast radius and a lifecycle state. When the EDR sees a new host or VM scanner sees a new IP, it shows up here in minutes, not weekly CMDB syncs.

Features

Inside INV.

Multi-source reconciliation

EDR, NDR, IdP, cloud, VM — every source contributes to one record.

Owner & service mapping

Every asset has an owner. Every alert routes to the right human.

Drift detection

Unmanaged endpoints, shadow VMs, unknown IPs flagged within minutes.

Lifecycle tracking

Onboarding, active, decommissioning, retired — state changes audited.

CMDB sync

Bidirectional sync to ServiceNow, Jira Insight or your CMDB of choice.

The landscape

Where the market stands today.

You can't defend what you can't see. Asset inventory is the unglamorous foundation that makes everything else work — risk scoring, alert ownership, lifecycle decisions. Protoxol Inventory reconciles signal from every module into a single source of truth.

Vendor Strength Tradeoff
Axonius Broad connector catalog. Mature reconciliation. Standalone — exports out but rarely back in.
JupiterOne Graph-native. Strong cloud asset coverage. Steep query language curve. Cloud-biased.
Snipe-IT (open) Free, CMDB-style. Good for fixed assets. Not security-focused. No exposure scoring.
