The Business Cost of Limited IT Visibility
Asset shortages have not only operational but also financial and legal consequences.
Unnecessary License Waste
License fees paid for unused software silently drain the budget. Invisible assets mean invisible costs.
Lack of Inventory Visibility
Blind spots in inventory delay the detection of security vulnerabilities, license waste, and operational errors.
Idle Cloud & Hardware
Untracked cloud resources, unused test environments, and over-provisioned infrastructure erode the budget.
Non-Compliance & Penalty Risks
Being caught unprepared in ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and NIS2 audits. Incomplete inventory equals audit failure risk.
Low-Impact Discovery
SPIDYA reduces WAN traffic and maintains network performance thanks to its agentless discovery and distributed scanning architecture. Zero agents = zero blind spots.

Agentless Asset Discovery
An approach that provides comprehensive visibility without deploying agents to endpoints, while maintaining network performance.
- Requires separate software installation on every device
- Creates ongoing operational overhead for setup, updates, and maintenance
- Devices without agents or unsupported systems remain invisible
- Agents cannot be installed on OT, IoT, and network hardware
- Negatively impacts device performance
- New devices joining the network cannot be detected automatically
- Management becomes difficult in large-scale environments
- Performs asset discovery without installing extra software on endpoints
- Automatically scans and reports across the entire network from a single center
- Reaches all systems via WMI, SSH, SNMP, and vSphere API
- Discovers everything, including OT / IoT / network devices
- Operates with zero impact on network performance
- Every new device joining the network becomes visible instantly
- Discovers each location's local network through probes deployed across different sites

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Network Protocols Are Used in Agentless Asset Discovery?
During SPIDYA’s agentless Asset Discovery, various protocols are used to collect data from different operating systems and infrastructure components. Discovery is performed via WMI and WinRM on Windows systems, SSH on Linux systems, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 on network devices, and through VMware vCenter/vSphere integration on virtualization infrastructures. This ensures that physical, virtual, and network assets are included in the inventory without requiring the installation of any agents on endpoints.
Which Cloud Providers Can Be Used to Collect Data Through Agentless Asset Discovery?
SPIDYA Agentless Discovery can collect inventory data from AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Huawei Cloud environments. By unifying the unique interfaces and terminology of different cloud providers under a standardized data model, it presents cloud resources in a centralized view. This enables inventory visibility across multi-cloud environments through a single console.
How Are Security Vulnerabilities Identified Through Agentless Asset Discovery?
SPIDYA Agentless Asset Discovery helps identify known security vulnerabilities associated with assets by matching discovered inventory data with global security databases such as the NIST NVD (National Vulnerability Database). This enables IT teams to gain proactive vulnerability awareness by viewing which assets may pose security risks on a centralized dashboard. Rather than automatically patching vulnerabilities, the solution helps make vulnerabilities associated with the inventory visible and assists security teams in prioritizing them.
Does Agentless Discovery Affect Network Performance?
SPIDYA Agentless Asset Discovery is designed to reduce WAN traffic and maintain network performance thanks to its distributed scanning architecture. In particular, the controlled management of discovery traffic in organizations with multiple locations and distributed infrastructures helps prevent existing network operations from being burdened with unnecessary load.
How Can IT Assets in Different Locations Be Made Visible Using Agentless Discovery?
SPIDYA Agentless Discovery identifies assets in on-premises infrastructure without requiring agent installation and consolidates resources in cloud environments into a centralized view. Consolidating physical, virtual, and cloud assets into a single inventory view makes it easier to track assets across different locations, distributed infrastructures, and remote systems. As a result, organizations can reduce visibility gaps in their infrastructure and achieve a more comprehensive view of their IT inventory.
How Does Agency-Free Inventory Discovery Reduce Licensing Costs and Inventory-Related Risks?
Inadequate inventory visibility can lead to paying for licenses for unused software, failing to identify idle cloud and hardware resources, and delayed detection of security vulnerabilities. Agentless discovery enables organizations to centrally visualize their physical, virtual, and cloud assets, helping them identify unnecessary licenses, idle resources, and inventory-related risks earlier. This visibility also supports the management of inventory information required for compliance processes such as ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and NIS2.
