Security Posture and High-Level Permissions

The section outlines how Device42 ensures data security in transit and at rest, emphasizing the principle of least privilege in agentless discovery.

Security Posture​

  • All data in transit from the Windows Discovery Service (WDS) to the Remote Collector (RC), and from the RC to the Main Appliance (MA) is transferred via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or HTTPS.
  • All data stays at rest within the MA in an end-user environment.
  • Only data voluntarily shared by the end user leaves the premises.

Required Permissions​

Device42 uses the principle of least privilege in its agentless discovery.
