Podcast Episode 103: The symbiotic relationship between HAM and Infosec
HAM and Infosec
In this podcast, I speak with Yvette Mathews and Josh Bernson of ITS Partners.
An interesting chat around the changing role of Hardware Asset Management post-COVID and how organisations can address the key challenges.
In particular, it was interesting to discuss the relationship between HAM and Infosec. A symbiotic partnership with ITAM helping Information Security, and Information Security helping ITAM.
We also cover the daunting task of getting started with HAM when you have no idea where to start and the concept of asking users and stakeholders to “self-certify” assets to confirm ownership and ensure records are accurate.
HAM and Infosec – Podcast topics include:
- How the demands for HAM have changed as a result of COVID-19
- Information Security as a driver for HAM
- Federating data and the CMDB
- A prescriptive approach to ITAM implementation
- Jump starting HAM when you don’t know where to start
- Self-certification of assets to support ownership records and accuracy
- Governance boards to oversee assets throughout their lifecycle
- Securing budgets for HAM activities
