The Human Error Crisis: Why Automated Asset Discovery Is No Longer Optional
Modern network infrastructure is strained by complexity and human error. With up to 95% of network changes still done manually, operational costs are two to three times higher than the hardware. More concerning, misconfigurations — especially on routers and firewalls — remain the leading cause of outages and security breaches. A mistake can expose an entire system, resulting in financial loss, compliance failures, and downtime.
From Manual Chaos to Automated Visibility
At BalticNOG 2025, Marcin Kaźmierczak will demonstrate how automation reshapes network management. His approach emphasizes passive traffic monitoring through NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX protocols, providing real-time visibility across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments — without the infrastructure overhead of active scanning. Automated discovery identifies devices and integrates seamlessly with tools like Zabbix, CMDBs, and SIEM platforms, creating a continuously accurate picture of dependencies and risks.
Real-World Impact
This isn’t theory. Organizations that embrace automated asset discovery report measurable gains: incident response times cut from hours to minutes, configuration errors reduced by 90%, and policy violations detected instantly instead of weeks later. Mean time to detect threats drops from over a month to near real-time, driving resilience, compliance, and operational efficiency.
As Marcin argues, automation is no longer optional. Automated asset discovery sets a new standard for managing modern, secure, and scalable networks by eliminating costly human errors and enabling intelligent system integration.
