In the article, Laura Voicu discusses the importance of cybersecurity asset management as a vital component of any cybersecurity program, emphasizing the necessity of knowing all assets to secure them effectively. The Elastic InfoSec team at Elastic undertook the challenge of imperfect asset visibility and control by developing a cybersecurity asset management solution using the Elastic Stack, emphasizing asset classification to include technical assets, people, data, and physical properties. The process involved creating a comprehensive asset inventory through real-time data collection from various sources, facilitated by the shift to Infrastructure as a Service and multi-cloud environments. The solution leverages Elastic Stack capabilities such as search, visualizations, and machine learning, aiming for real-time compliance validation and future efforts to detect policy violations and utilize big data for advanced analytics. The article underscores the potential of adaptive governance through data-driven decision-making and encourages readers to explore asset management solutions using the Elastic Stack.
