Zscaler unveils Asset Exposure Management for effective cyber risk reduction
This innovative solution consolidates and correlates data from a vast array of sources to deliver to organisations a precise inventory of assets and visibility into their security gaps to mitigate cyber risk.
Organisations often struggle to maintain an accurate inventory of their assets. As a result, IT and security teams resort to spending hours using spreadsheets to track assets, making it difficult to assess the risks these assets pose and to prioritise remediation efforts. This issue is particularly pressing in regulated industries, such as healthcare and financial services, where non-compliance can result in significant fines.

Zscaler Asset Exposure Management offers comprehensive asset risk management, enabling organisations to:
- Create an Accurate Asset Inventory: Aggregate and deduplicate data from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive view of assets and their associated software stacks.
- Identify Coverage Gaps: Detect assets lacking essential security measures, such as missing Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions or outdated software versions.
- Enhance Data Accuracy: Improve data hygiene by automatically updating Configuration Management Databases (CMDB) and resolving data discrepancies across systems.
- Mitigate Risks: Trigger automated remediation workflows and policy adjustments to restrict access for users associated with risky assets, thereby immediately lowering enterprise risk.
Together with Zscaler Risk360 and Unified Vulnerability Management, this new CAASM offering provides customers with a comprehensive solution for more effective exposure management.
“Companies have struggled for decades with the fundamental question of how many assets they actually have and what risk they pose to the business," said Adam Geller, Chief Product Officer, Zscaler. “The unmatched data set of 500 billion daily transactions from the Zscaler platform, combined with data from third-party sources, provides our customers with a unique advantage in identifying asset risk. By aggregating and synthesizing this data for additional context, we deliver more complete insights and empower our customers to make better decisions.”
