Re: Asset/Resource Inventory

[Todd Plesco <todd.plesco () INFOSECURITY PRO>]

 One of the challenges we deal with is validating our network vulnerability
scans with network assets so I have been reading up on ISO 17990 as it
relates to inventory identification and asset management needs for network
and infrastructure security.   We use a combination of different systems
but do not have a centralized ITAM.

There is an annual conference and expo (ACE) coming up in Dublin, Ireland
on September 1-2 for the International Association of IT Asset Managers
(IAITAM.)  If you register before July 31, IAITAM membership is included
free with the ACE registration.
