What is Open-AudIT?
Open-AudIT tells you exactly what is on your network, how it is configured, and when it changes. It scans IP ranges for devices, audits them without requiring any agent, and stores everything in a database you can report against.
It works the same way on a handful of servers or thousands of endpoints across multiple sites.
