Sevco Network Discovery

About Sevco

Sevco Network Discovery is a lightweight active discovery capability built into the Sevco runners to perform asset discovery.

Why You Should Integrate

This source will provide visibility into unknown devices attached to the network that may otherwise not be seen in any other system

How Does the Integration Work

This integration discovers previously unknown devices in an environment by utilizing various network protocols to extract asset information within the network. It does not perform any broad or intrusive active network scanning of endpoint devices.
