MetaDefender Drive v4.4.8 introduces Device Inventory Collection, extending In-Session scanning to capture device inventory during security scans. This brings security scanning and inventory collection into a single workflow, helping security and IT teams gain greater visibility into devices operating across their environments.
Capture Device Inventory During In-Session Scans
Device Inventory Collection runs within the In-Session Scanning workflow, enabling device information collection while assessing the device for security risks. The collected inventory includes hardware, software, and system configuration details, providing additional context for each scanned device to support asset visibility and compliance verification.
Synchronize Device Inventory with My OPSWAT™ Central Management
The collected device inventory can be synchronized with My OPSWAT Central Management, providing security and IT teams with centralized visibility across scanned devices. This brings device inventory together within the existing MetaDefender Drive central management environment, helping organizations maintain visibility into assets scanned across distributed operations.
Export Device Inventory for Existing Data Workflows
MetaDefender Drive administrators can also export collected device inventory for ingestion into their existing data lake. This enables teams to use MetaDefender Drive inventory data within their existing asset management, reporting, and analytics workflows.
