FleetDM Endpoint Visibility

Endpoints as a constellation: enroll, inventory, query posture, and connect laptop/server truth into the same infra story — not a security island.

How it works

Every endpoint is a star you can query.

FleetDM Endpoint Visibility by Andrey Lesnikov — fleet enrollment and posture that joins the broader infrastructure picture.

Lifecycle — Enroll → Inventory → Query posture → Connect to infra
  1. 01

    Enroll the fleet

    Laptops and servers join as queryable nodes — inventory stops living in a spreadsheet.

  2. 02

    Inventory continuously

    osquery-style facts stay fresh so posture is evidence, not last quarter's export.

  3. 03

    Ask posture questions

    Targeted queries answer security and ownership questions without a separate island console.

  4. 04

    Connect to infra ownership

    Endpoint truth tags into the same ownership model as clusters and services.

02

Evidence

From problem to proof.

How the system is framed, operated, and proven — not a slide deck summary.

01
When to use

Endpoint inventory is a security island — device posture never joins cluster and service ownership stories.

02
When not

You need service-mesh identity or secret lifecycle more than device constellation — see Zero Trust and Secrets automation.

03
See also

Zero Trust Service Mesh and Secrets / Certificate Automation close identity gaps. SLO-Driven Monitoring can include endpoint-backed dependency health.

Constraints

Device inventory, query safety, rollout control, privacy, vulnerability context, and integration with existing operations.

Case 23

Zero Trust Service Mesh

  • Identity
  • mTLS
  • AuthZ

Internal traffic is often trusted by default, making lateral movement and policy gaps hard to see

East-west mTLS by default

Case 16 · Pattern

Secrets and Certificate Automation

  • Issue
  • Inject
  • Rotate

Manual secret rotation and certificate handling create outage risk and hidden operational debt

Secrets + TLS with a real lifecycle
