# _Cut through the complexity_ of device management

In dynamic IT environments, Prelude cuts through the noise to deliver clear insights into device compliance, ownership, and management status so you can escape the spreadsheet chaos.

## It shouldn't be this hard to secure your IT inventory

In theory, you should always know which devices are managed, compliant, and protected. In practice, the realities of device visibility from BYO to siloed inventories are fighting against you.

#### 90% of ransomware attacks start on unmanaged devices

The risk comes from blind spots: devices that aren’t onboarded to your tools, your CMDB, or anyone’s line of sight.

#### Siloed data prevents a single source of truth

Device inventory is spread across multiple platforms and treated differently, so nobody knows what information is truly accurate.

#### Manual reconciliation doesn't scale

Answering basic questions about device posture means new exports, VLOOKUPs, and Slack threads, instead of a view you can trust.

## Prelude offers _unparalleled visibility_ into the state of your device posture

Point-in-time assessments and attack simulations give a limited perspective of your security control effectiveness. Prelude automates the time-intensive work to build and launch tests that give you insight into how your EDR responds to threats.

#### Aggregate your device inventory

Prelude ingests, deduplicates, and normalizes device information from across your disparate platforms including MDM, EDR, and device discovery tools. This means you can confidently and automatically review posture across devices.

#### Visualize your BYO devices

Prelude automatically flags users accessing your critical systems without a documented managed device so you can easily identify the users who present the greatest risk.

#### Proactively notify when gaps occur

Ship notifications to ticket desks, Slack channels, and individual teams so you can quickly address when devices fall out of management or out of compliance.

#### Identify critical misconfigurations on devices

Across devices, surface policy misconfigurations in host firewalls, device compliance policies, and more against best practices and relevant frameworks that leave your devices exposed to undue risk from attackers and auditors.

## A seamless approach to putting your visibility on autopilot

Prelude automatically aggregates data from across your IT security tools to save you from console hopping.

#### Agentless deployment

Prelude aggregates data from API, read-only integrations to the tools you're already using.

#### Data normalization

Prelude automatically de-duplicates and normalizes your data so you always look at the same device across platforms.

#### Exception management

Seamlessly filter out the outdated data, irrelevant policies, and focus on the insights that matter most to your business right now.

### _Prelude’s reporting tools_ _makes it incredibly easy_ _to identify which devices are misconfigured and which controls are missing._
