Managed Network Discovery
Your network has more devices than you think, and the attacker looks for exactly what is off the radar: the personal laptop, the internet of things camera, the forgotten server.
You start seeing every device connected to your network, knowing what each one is and treating the blind spot before the attack, with no new hardware to install. Network discovery runs on the agents you already have, delivers a live inventory and Zamak Technologies drives each discovered device into protection.

You cannot protect what you cannot see. And your network has more devices than you think.
Over time, every network accumulates devices that joined without anyone registering them: a personal computer, an internet of things gadget (the everyday devices connected to the network, like cameras and printers, known as IoT), an old system left behind. Each one is a door that no one is patching, monitoring or defending. And the attacker looks for exactly the device that is off the radar.
Inventorying every asset is CIS Control 1 (from the Center for Internet Security), before the firewall and before the antivirus. The industry puts visibility at the foundation of everything.
A device no one knows exists is a device no one patches, monitors or defends. It shows up in no security report.
A hand made equipment spreadsheet is born outdated: by the next day a device has joined and another has left. Only continuous reading of the network keeps that pace.
Network discovery that sees every connected device, identifies what each one is and shows the blind spot before the attacker. Deployed and operated by Zamak Technologies.
Why the invisible device is the biggest risk
The blind spot was there long before the attack
Here is how the device no one could see becomes the way in, in practice, in companies that thought they were organized.
The personal laptop on the company Wi-Fi.
An employee connected their home computer to the network to get ahead on a task. It does not have the protection of the company devices, no one manages it, and now it is the shortest path between the internet and your files.
The camera no one set up.
An internet of things camera or printer was plugged into the network and stayed for years on its factory password, the kind that tends to be in public lists online. It never received an update and became a silent foothold for whoever wants in.
The server no one turned off.
An old system was replaced, but the machine stayed on in a corner, forgotten, with no owner and no updates. For the attacker, a forgotten server is a gift: full of access and with no one watching.
The inventory that was born outdated.
The company does have an equipment spreadsheet, built by hand once. But the network changes every day: a device joins, a device leaves, a visitor connects. By the next day, the spreadsheet no longer matches reality, and decisions start leaning on a false picture.
The question from the audit and the insurer.
At cyber insurance renewal or during an audit, the direct question comes: do you have an up to date inventory of everything connected to your network? Without an answer backed by proof, the policy cost rises or the coverage drops.
The point is not whether there are devices off the radar, because there always are. It is whether you see them in time to do something. That is exactly what network discovery does.
What network discovery is
It turns the light on across your whole network
Network discovery is the practice of finding, identifying and inventorying every device connected to your network, without relying on someone writing it down by hand. It scans the network continuously, recognizes what each device is, separates what is protected from what is a blind spot and flags what no one registered, including a rogue device, the one that joined without permission. It is the difference between thinking you know your network and having, on the screen, the list of what is actually on it right now.
Sees everything on the network
It finds every connected device: the managed computers, the ones no one manages, the internet of things ones and the forgotten server. And it does so using the agents you already have installed as sensors, with no new hardware needed.
Identifies what each one is
It is not enough to know a device exists; you need to know what it is. The platform recognizes and classifies each one, known or unknown, and shows which is under protection and which is a blind spot waiting for attention.
Turns the list into action
An inventory is only worth it if it becomes a decision. Zamak interprets what was found and drives the next step: bringing the discovered device into management and protection, isolating what should not be there and recording everything as proof for the audit.
It covers Windows, macOS and Linux computers as sensors and, from them, sees on the network the devices that have no agent at all, including the internet of things ones. All with no dedicated hardware and no changes to your network.

Inside the technology
The engineering behind network discovery
For those who want the technical detail: this is how network discovery works under the hood.
No dedicated hardware
Discovery is part of the same agent that already handles the computers security. No dedicated appliance, no mirroring of network ports and no changes to the infrastructure: nothing new to buy or to install.
Sensors distributed across the network
The platform designates a few of the agents already installed on each segment of the network to act as sensors. They are your own computers seeing what is around them, with no extra machine cost.
Passive listening and active scanning
The sensors listen to the normal network traffic to notice who is connected and, when needed, run a light active scan to confirm each device. The two methods together light up the blind spots that each one alone would miss.
Identification by machine learning
By correlating what it learns on the network, the platform recognizes and classifies each device, known or unknown, without installing anything on it. It is like a fingerprint of each piece of equipment.
Inventory in seconds
The network reading produces the inventory in seconds, from a single office to an operation spread across several sites. Instead of a spreadsheet that ages, a live list of what is connected right now.
Control of what should not be there
When it finds a device that should not be on the network, the platform can isolate it from the protected computers, and Zamak drives what to do next: bring it into management or cut off its access. Seeing becomes control.
The platform runs on infrastructure certified to SOC 2 and ISO 27001, compliant with HIPAA and PCI-DSS, and the network data travels encrypted in transit and at rest.
Network discovery is the first link of cybersecurity: it feeds the endpoint defense and the vulnerability management, because you cannot protect or fix a device you do not know exists.

The comparison
Hand made spreadsheet, scanning appliance and endpoint integrated discovery
The industry recognizes three ways of knowing what is on the network: the manual inventory (a spreadsheet made by hand, outdated by the next day), the dedicated scanning appliance (a box or program of its own that takes a snapshot now and then and depends on its reach across the network) and discovery integrated into the agent that already protects the computers, which sees continuously, with no new hardware. This last one, integrated into the endpoint agent, is the approach published by N-able and SentinelOne, makers of the platform Zamak operates.
How it sees the network
The Zamak choice
Endpoint integrated discovery
Continuously, through the agents you already have, with nothing else to install
Dedicated scanning appliance
A snapshot now and then, with its own appliance or program
Manual spreadsheet inventory
It does not see: it depends on someone remembering to write it down
What it finds
The Zamak choice
Endpoint integrated discovery
Managed, unmanaged, internet of things and the rogue one
Dedicated scanning appliance
Depends on how far the scan reaches on the network
Manual spreadsheet inventory
Only what the person remembered to register
Hardware and network change
The Zamak choice
Endpoint integrated discovery
None: it is part of the agent that already protects the computers
Dedicated scanning appliance
It requires buying and maintaining a separate appliance or program
Manual spreadsheet inventory
None, but it also sees nothing on its own
How up to date it stays
The Zamak choice
Endpoint integrated discovery
Always: a live list of what is connected right now
Dedicated scanning appliance
Until the next scheduled scan
Manual spreadsheet inventory
It is outdated by the next day
What happens to the unknown one
The Zamak choice
Endpoint integrated discovery
It is classified and Zamak drives the action: manage, protect or isolate
Dedicated scanning appliance
It goes into a list; acting is left to another tool
Manual spreadsheet inventory
It probably does not even show up on the spreadsheet
Proof for audit and insurance
The Zamak choice
Endpoint integrated discovery
A documented and up to date inventory, managed by Zamak
Dedicated scanning appliance
A static report from the day of the scan
Manual spreadsheet inventory
A spreadsheet no one can vouch is correct
The categories of manual inventory, dedicated scanning appliance and endpoint integrated discovery follow the taxonomy recognized by the industry. The endpoint agent integrated approach is the one published by N-able and SentinelOne, makers of the platform operated by Zamak. The highlighted column lists only what Zamak delivers to the client.

For every decision maker
What this means for whoever decides
Network discovery solves a different pain for each role in the company.
Owner and founder
The attack that comes through the invisible door stays shut
The worst attack is the one that comes through a device you did not even know existed. Zamak finds that blind spot and brings it under control before it becomes the crisis that stains the reputation you took years to build.
Executives and management
The insurance and audit requirement, with predictable cost
You do not manage or budget what you cannot count. Audits and cyber insurers ask for an asset inventory, which is CIS Control 1. Here you have that live inventory as a predictable monthly cost, with the documented proof they ask of you.
Internal IT leader
You stop maintaining a spreadsheet that is born outdated
Instead of trying to keep by hand an inventory that changes every day, you get a live and reliable list of what is on the network right now, and you bring your leadership the documented proof that you know exactly what is connected. Zamak is the backup alongside your team, adding to the work of whoever already cares for the environment, never in its place, and you decide how much to delegate.
