Simplify SWAM to Build Resiliency

Software asset management (SWAM) increases visibility and control over software assets on networks. SWAM is a foundational capability of cybersecurity and underpins both the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS’) Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program and the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) Information Technology Asset Management (ITAM) framework.

SWAM helps enterprises understand the security considerations for the software itself, the configurations, and even users with access to it. SWAM enables agencies to proactively reduce software vulnerabilities, mitigate software misuse, and have a better understanding of the overall security of their networks.

As software-related cybersecurity strategies evolve, IT teams are navigating software management challenges such as license reconciliation, end of life (EOL), and end of service (EOS), all while collaborating with IT, finance, security, and risk teams to effectively identify and manage unwanted software in a scalable and automated way.

Join this breakout session to learn how to navigate – and simplify – the intricate landscape of SWAM.
