Rogue Asset Discovery
The Problem
Modern environments are in constant flux—dynamic endpoints in the cloud, BYOD in the enterprise, ephemeral containers spinning up and down. Security teams are tasked not only with securing known infrastructure, but with maintaining constant validation of every asset, everywhere, at all times.
While this might seem like a baseline requirement, in practice it’s an ongoing challenge:
- BYOD devices appear without warning.
- Cloud scaling spins up VMs and services on demand.
- Ephemeral compute like containers vanish before traditional tools can even react.
Discovering Assets Isn’t Enough. You Must Understand Them.
To avoid becoming a roadblock to business agility, security teams need immediate awareness of new assets. But speed without understanding introduces risk. It’s not just what appears on the network—it’s how it behaves.
Today’s tools struggle to classify or evaluate new assets fast enough:
- NAC solutions are forced to make snap decisions based on minimal information—IP addresses and fingerprints—without behavioral context.
- Active scanners are noisy, disruptive, and only provide moment-in-time insight.
- WireX Systems’ persistent, passive detection offers a real-time and continuous lens into your environment, providing full visibility without disruption.
Our Solution
The Power of Persistent Passive Detection
WireX Systems enables visibility that scales with your environment. Our Contextual Capture™ technology continuously observes network traffic across the entire OSI stack—without agents, active scans, or configuration overhead. It:
- Automatically detects new devices, services, protocols, and users.
- Classifies assets based on months of historical behavior, not just momentary observations.
- Establishes baseline norms and highlights deviations that may signal rogue or misconfigured assets.
This means faster time-to-value, stronger segmentation enforcement, and rapid identification of shadow IT—without overloading your team.
Contextual Understanding Turns Discovery Into Defense
What sets WireX Systems apart is our ability to go beyond inventory. We offer contextual awareness—reconstructing user behaviors, data access patterns, and protocol-level activity. When a new asset appears:
- What systems is it communicating with?
- What data is it trying to access?
- Is it behaving like other assets in the same class—or like something entirely different?
Our platform leverages historical fingerprints and local behavioral baselines, enabling security teams to classify and act with confidence, not assumptions.
From Discovery to Action: Empower Your Entire Team
- Real-Time Passive Detection
WireX Systems continuously monitors all network traffic — across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments — without agents or scans. It automatically detects new devices, services, and users the moment they appear, even if they’re short-lived or misconfigured. - Contextual Awareness for Confident Action
When an unknown asset shows up, WireX Systems provides full visibility into what it’s doing: who deployed it, what data it touches, how it communicates, and whether its behavior aligns with similar asset classes — or not. - Behavioral Classification That Understand thousands of Network Activities
Assets are classified using months of historical traffic data, not just momentary snapshots. This allows your team to quickly determine if a new asset is legitimate, rogue, or acting suspiciously — with full behavioral context. - CMDB Validation and Shadow IT Exposure
WireX Systems integrates with your CMDB to validate known infrastructure and enrich it with behavioral intelligence. And if you don’t have a complete inventory, we will help you build one — surfacing unknown or shadow assets in real time.
See It. Understand It. Control It.
WireX Systems transforms rogue asset discovery from a manual, high-effort process into a fast, focused workflow. With Ne2ition Contextual Capture™, you don’t just see more — you know more. And that changes everything.
