IT Asset Management Best Practices

You can't protect what you don't know you have. IT Asset Management (ITAM) is the foundation of security and finance.

Tools

Open-source tools like Snipe-IT allow tracking of hardware (laptops, servers) and software licenses.

Lifecycle Tracking

Track assets from procurement to disposal. Ensure hard drives are securely wiped (DBAN) before decommissioning to prevent data leakage.
