Abstract: A system and method for agentless discovery and inspection of applications and services in a compute environment includes establishing a connection with a first workload in a first compute environment. The first compute environment includes a plurality of workloads. The system causes installation of a collector on the first workload, wherein the collector, when executed, is configured to collect data from the first workload. Collected data is received from the collector, and the collector is configured to remove the executable code of the collector upon completing data collection. Access is provided to the collected data for an asset monitoring system, wherein the asset monitoring system is configured to discover from the collected data at least an application executed on the first workload.

Abstract: A system and method for updating a non-persistent collector deployed in a compute environment includes scheduling a collector to collect data from a workload, performing a check to determine if a version of an executable collector application present thereon is a current version, upon determining the application version is not the current version, updating the collector version to the current version, executing the current version to collect data from the workload, and removing the collector from the workload upon completion of the operation by the collector.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying distinct software applications. A method includes collecting, from a plurality of resources, data utilized to at least execute a plurality of software applications of an organization; analyzing the collected data to identify the plurality of software applications to determine how each of the plurality of software applications interact with its respective identified software applications to detect at least two applications that communicate with each other, wherein the detected at least two applications that communicate with each other are distinct software applications; determining, by using a static analysis process, dependencies between the distinct software applications; and compiling visibility data based on the at least identified distinct software applications and their determined dependencies.

Abstract: A system and method for providing intelligence of software applications. The method comprises collecting, from a plurality of resources, data utilized to at least execute a plurality software applications of an organization; analyzing the collected data to identify the plurality of software applications; determining, by using a static analysis process, dependencies between the software applications of the identified plurality of software applications; compiling visibility data based on the identified plurality of software applications and the determined dependencies; generating a dataflow map, wherein the dataflow map includes the visibility data; and enabling a control of at least one policy based on the visibility data included in the dataflow map.
