Asset Management Techniques

Welcome to the Asset Management Techniques practice lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

IT asset management helps organizations effectively manage and optimize their IT resources, which can lead to improved operational efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced cybersecurity. From a security perspective, it is impossible to apply effective security until all network assets are tracked and managed. In addition, as assets and applications are deprovisioned, secured data destruction is essential, although it is not always an intuitive process.

In this module, you will use Snipe-IT to create and manage assets and SDelete and Cipher to securely destroy files.
