Asset Discovery Expands with Lansweeper's Acquisition of Redjack
Lansweeper Acquires Redjack, Strengthening Asset Intelligence Capabilities
Lansweeper, a global leader in Technology Asset Intelligence, has announced the acquisition of Redjack, a company specializing in asset discovery using network traffic analysis. This strategic move enhances Lansweeper's platform, giving security teams complete visibility into every network asset, whether known or unknown, managed or unmanaged.
The integrated solution automatically maps dependencies, providing IT, security, and finance teams with the context they need to prioritize vulnerabilities, streamline migrations, and control costs. Redjack's unique approach to mapping internal and external connections broadens Lansweeper's reach across enterprise, cloud, and edge environments.
Complete Asset Discovery
Redjack’s passive, traffic-based discovery complements Lansweeper's agentless scanning and inventory capabilities, enabling detection of hidden, shadow, and unmanaged IT assets through network traffic analysis without active probing.
Application Dependency Mapping
The technology maps internal and external application and infrastructure dependencies, providing insights critical for cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and operational continuity.
Enhanced Security Posture
The combined solution strengthens attack surface management, zero trust strategies, vulnerability exposure mapping, and third-party risk management by giving security teams total visibility into every connected asset.
Real-Time Asset Inventories
Lansweeper now offers real-time updates to asset inventories, which is crucial for compliance audits, security monitoring, and business continuity planning.
Broad Environment Coverage
Supports discovery and management across multi-tenant, enterprise, cloud, and edge deployments, making it effective for large and complex technology estates.
Strategic Integration
The melding of Lansweeper's rich asset intelligence (hardware/software inventory, device fingerprinting) with Redjack’s passive network insights creates a holistic IT asset intelligence platform that enables smarter decisions and stronger security.
Overall, this acquisition positions Lansweeper as a global leader in technology asset intelligence by delivering "Total Visibility"—a critical foundation for securing IT environments and improving enterprise asset management workflows.
Meanwhile, Actfore, an AI/ML-powered data mining company for cyber breach incident response, has spun off from ActiveNav to become an independent company. This new independence allows Actfore to focus on providing legal counsel, insurance carriers, and others with its services.
In a separate development, Laser Digital, Nomura's digital asset subsidiary, conducted a global survey with professional investors in 21 countries. The survey results indicate a growing recognition of digital assets as a legitimate investment option within the global financial industry.
The acquisition benefits asset discovery, security, and enterprise asset management by enabling organizations to see and understand all assets and their relationships on the network in real time, thereby improving security posture, compliance, and operational resilience.
