Unified Platform for Intelligent Operations
Platform Overview For Asset Intelligence
By correlating real-time asset intelligence ConsoleWorks provides operational, security, and compliance context. ConsoleWorks is a unified operations platform that transforms fragmented operational data into real-time, actionable intelligence. The platform combines four core capabilities in a single system:
- Asset intelligence
- Secure remote access
- Patch and configuration monitoring
- Policy-based control and enforcement
By correlating real-time asset intelligence with configuration awareness, ConsoleWorks provides operational, security, and compliance context rather than isolated data points.
Built-in secure remote access and automated policy enforcement allow ConsoleWorks to actively participate in operational workflows. Every action performed through the platform is informed by asset state, recorded for auditability, and aligned with defined security and compliance requirements.
ConsoleWorks enables automation through awareness by converting operational data into decisions and decisions into secure, compliant actions.
Why Asset Intelligence Matters
Effective security and risk management require continuous visibility into assets and their operational impact. Static asset inventories are insufficient in environments with evolving threats and regulatory requirements.
ConsoleWorks treats asset intelligence as a continuously updated, context-aware data set. This asset intelligence supports risk scoring, compliance measurement, operational prioritization, and remediation workflows.
Asset Data Collection and Correlation
ConsoleWorks ingests and correlates asset data from multiple sources to maintain accurate and complete asset records.
Supported Data Sources
- Passive Discovery Tools (e.g., asset discovery, network scanners, vulnerability and IDS tools)
- Active Configuration Collectors (ConsoleWorks’ direct collection from endpoints)
- Secure Remote Access Logs
- Spreadsheets, and structured data
- Manual inputs when necessary
All collected data is normalized and correlated using the ConsoleWorks Tool Data Collector (TDC) framework. This process eliminates duplication, preserves source attribution, and ensures traceability.
Key Differentiator: Dual-Homed Asset Correlation
ConsoleWorks identifies devices with multiple IP addresses or network interfaces as a single asset. This prevents asset duplication and improves accuracy for risk assessment and compliance reporting.
Structured, Searchable, and Compliance-Ready Asset Intelligence Records
ConsoleWorks captures and maintains detailed asset attributes that are continuously updated and enriched with contextual metadata.
Captured Asset Attributes
- IP address, hostname, OS, patch levels, vulnerabilities
- Asset category, type, function, business role, and criticality
- User accounts, software, open ports, firewall rules, network interfaces
- Configuration and antivirus posture
Asset records are searchable, filterable, and audit-ready by design, enabling rapid investigation, reporting, and compliance validation.
Translating Requirements into Measurable Controls
ConsoleWorks helps you translate regulatory and policy requirements into measurable operational controls using a binary question model.
Example Control Questions
- “Is MFA enabled for remote access?”
- “Are all privileged sessions logged?”
- “Is antivirus running and current?”
Each question is automatically evaluated based on real-time asset data collected by the platform.
Key Differentiator: Continuous Evaluation
ConsoleWorks evaluates controls continuously rather than only during audit periods, enabling always-on compliance and early detection of control and security gaps.
Risk Scoring and Compliance Mapping
ConsoleWorks uses the Secure Controls Framework (SCF) as the foundation for compliance and risk measurement. Each control question is mapped directly to an SCF control, creating traceability from asset data to compliance posture.
SCF mapping enables cross-referencing across multiple industry frameworks and regulatory requirements, including:
- NIST CSF
- NERC CIP
- HIPAA
- PCI-DSS
- ISO 27001
- CIS Controls
- And many more…
By anchoring your assessments in SCF, ConsoleWorks provides a single system of record for evaluating security and compliance across diverse environments and regulatory landscapes.
Key Differentiator: SCF mapping enables ConsoleWorks to “measure once, comply to many”
SCF-based mapping reduces audit effort, eliminates redundant assessments, and supports long-term compliance program scalability.
Additional information about SCF is available at securecontrolsframework.com.
Automated and Guided Remediation
When control failures or risks are identified, ConsoleWorks enables guided remediation directly within the platform.
Remediation Actions
- Correct misconfigured services
- Revoke or disable exposed accounts
- Patch vulnerable systems
- Resolve configuration drift
- Execute additional policy-driven actions
- Much more
All remediation actions are logged, auditable, and traceable from detection through resolution.
Key Differentiator: Closed-Loop Remediation
Detection, evaluation, and remediation occur within the same platform, preserving context and eliminating the need to switch tools.
Operational and Business Outcomes
- Up to 50 percent reduction in remediation cycle time
- More than $100,000 saved through reduced audit preparation and tool consolidation
- Lower risk exposure caused by misconfiguration
- Fewer compliance violations and reduced mean time to remediation (MTTR)
