Automatically discover and catalog every connected technology asset, known or unknown, managed or unmanaged.
Eliminate blind spots with complete network discovery across IT, OT, IoT, and Cloud environments.
Automate updates for a living asset database – no more stale CMDBs or manual scans.
Adapt scanning methods to balance depth, safety, and speed – anywhere in your network.
Network Discovery
Discover and catalog every connected device without manual effort. Lansweeper automates asset discovery to keep your inventory complete and accurate, reflecting your dynamic IT landscape.
Data Breadth
Data Depth
Lansweeper delivers rich, contextual asset insights to drive smarter IT, security, and financial decisions.
Uncover hardware specs, software, config, and OS versions.
Surface vulnerabilities, lifecycle risks, and shadow IT.
Drive smarter patching, planning, and resource optimization.
IP Range Coverage
To achieve total visibility, you need to know what you’re not seeing yet. IP Range Coverage organizes your network into named IP ranges and measures how completely each segment is identified. See where visibility is strong, where blind spots remain, and where discovery efforts should focus next.
Lansweeper’s asset discovery captures information from every corner of your technology landscape ensuring no device or system goes undiscovered.
Run deep, targeted, direct scans to uncover detailed information for known and managed devices.
Traffic sensor continuously analyzes network traffic to find every device communicating on your network, even the ones you didn’t know about.
Connect directly to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to discover virtual machines, containers, and cloud-native services – no sensors required.
Deploy lightweight agents on Windows, macOS, and Linux for continuous discovery of remote, roaming, or off-network devices.
Import and sync asset information from SCCM, Intune, and other inventory platforms to build a complete source of truth.
Add offline or legacy devices manually or via CSV/XLS import to ensure 100% asset coverage.
Risk Detection
Unmanaged assets are risks. Lansweeper detects and classifies devices instantly, so you can act fast.
AI Usage Tracking
You can’t manage your AI tools if you don’t know where to find them. AI Usage Tracking brings AI tools, browser-based AI services, locally run models, and external AI connections into your asset inventory. Gather full AI context on what’s being used, where it’s being used, and who is using it, all in one place.
Asset Inventory
Automatically build and maintain a single, living source of truth across all your devices, systems, users, and cloud infrastructure — without the manual effort. Always up to date, always audit-ready.

IT Asset Discovery is the process of automatically identifying and cataloging all devices and resources within an organization’s technology environment. The goal is to gain complete visibility into an organization’s IT environment – including its devices, applications, and installed software – allowing businesses to manage risks, improve efficiency, and reduce costs effectively.
Lansweeper automatically detects, recognizes, and scans every asset connected to the network. This process eliminates manual efforts, ensures real-time inventory updates, and mitigates the risk of overlooking devices, enhancing security and efficiency.
Lansweeper offers flexible scanning methods, including active and passive scanning features, agent-based and agentless options, and powerful device recognition functionalities.
Lansweeper offers comprehensive discovery capabilities across various technological domains, including IT, OT, IoT, and Public Cloud. It can detect a wide range of assets, such as workstations (Windows, Linux, Mac), servers, printers, switches, routers, cloud instances, virtual machines, PLCs, network devices, mobile devices, and other technology-related items.
Active discovery sends targeted probes or credential-based scans to enumerate assets, services and vulnerabilities. It delivers the deepest data (software versions, patch levels) but must be scheduled carefully to avoid network strain.
Passive discovery listens to network traffic or flow data, identifying devices in real time without touching them—ideal for fragile OT, IoT and segmented networks. Lansweeper’s Credential-Free Device Recognition (CDR) enhances passive listening by fingerprinting assets with no credentials required.
Key takeaway: active brings depth, passive brings safety and continuous visibility; combining both yields the most complete, up-to-date inventory.
Agent-based detection installs a lightweight software agent on each endpoint to capture rich, continuous telemetry, even when the device is off-network. This yields deep hardware, OS and software data, but requires endpoint deployment and lifecycle maintenance.
Agentless discovery communicates with devices over the network (WMI, SSH, SNMP, APIs) or leverages credential-free techniques such as Lansweeper’s Passive Discovery + Credential-free fingerprinting. It delivers rapid coverage with zero footprint on the device, yet may be limited by firewall rules or unavailable credentials.
Best practice: combine both methods. Ese agents for roaming laptops or locked-down servers, and agentless discovery for quick wins across data-center, OT and cloud assets.
