Inventory your cloud assets #
Cloud computing has seen a boom in the last decade, resulting in data storage and asset deployment both now commonly taking place in the cloud. Not only that, but critical infrastructure and resources are being stored in the cloud by organizations all around the world. While it has provided major benefits like easier deployment of assets, new challenges have been brought on by increased use of the cloud for IT and security teams in terms of securing, managing, and tracking cloud based assets. Small and medium sized businesses commonly have anywhere from fifty to a hundred thousand assets in their infrastructure while larger organizations can be in the millions, and many of these are now located in one cloud or another. Having a well-maintained asset inventory, including multicloud and hybrid environments, that provides a consolidated view is vital.
Benefits #
- ● Single source of truth for all assets
- ● Consolidated inventory for all GCP projects
- ● Inventory consolidation across hybrid and multicloud environments
- ● Correlated attributes from runZero and GCP
How runZero helps
Get everything on your radar
Unmanaged or unknown cloud assets are a target for attackers and are often compromised in highly publicized attacks. This is due to the fact that you can’t protect and secure the assets you don’t know exist. Using runZero’s integration with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you can sync your cloud asset inventory with your runZero asset inventory, and query against your entire asset inventory to identify problems or vulnerabilities. By scanning your GCP assets with runZero, you are able to combine the scan results with GCP’s resource attributes, resulting in a central location to look when you need to understand the assets on your network.
Consolidate your asset inventory
runZero makes consolidating and managing your asset inventory simple. Offering complete asset and network context, runZero allows you to be better informed than ever about your cloud assets. The runZero integration with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) helps to identify and manage cloud assets by consolidating and compiling your inventory in a single location for your multicloud or hybrid environment.
How it works
Step 1: Scan your network
Step 2: Connect with Google Cloud Platform
Step 3: See your GCP assets in one inventory
