Cybersecurity and Applied AI career insights

Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
A platform category that aggregates asset data from existing security tools (EDR, vulnerability scanners, CMDB, cloud inventories, identity systems) to build a unified view of all internal and external assets. CAASM uses API integrations rather than active scanning, resolving duplicate and conflicting asset records across tools to provide a single source of truth for the security team.
Most organizations have asset data scattered across dozens of tools with no unified view. Security engineers use CAASM to answer basic questions like 'which assets lack EDR coverage' or 'which servers are unpatched.' Accurate asset inventory is foundational to every other security function. CAASM platforms solve this without deploying more agents or scanners.
