“Every new device added to a network brings with it a responsibility to properly identify and manage new security vulnerabilities, and companies need to address these concerns as the number of connected devices rapidly increases. Combining that capability with our unmatched, agentless discovery capability is an important step in realising our vision for ITAM 2.0: to enable every organisation to manage and secure their IT infrastructure by understanding their IT estate.” Speaking on the acquisition, Dave Goossens, CEO at Lansweeper, says: “Fing is the charge when it comes to the unique challenge of device identification. However, more than half of businesses have no idea how many devices are connected to their company network or accessing corporate resources from a home network putting them at great risk of unauthorised access, data theft and potential malware and ransomware attacks. IDC predicts there will be more than 41 billion connected/IoT (Internet of Things) devices by 2025, with demand rising for smart home applications and wearable devices. Fing brings one of the largest databases of over 600 million uniquely identified devices. The acquisition is designed to enhance Lansweeper’s own IT network discovery capabilities by adding Fing’s device identification capabilities to the company’s product portfolio.įing proprietary technology turns network data, such as a MAC address, into a specific device providing accurate make, type, model and OS (Name and Version) with an unmatched level of precision. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed. Lansweeper, the IT Asset Management platform, today announced the acquisition of Fing, a network scanning and device recognition app.
