Auto-Discovery

Definitions

1. An automated process that finds systems, services, accounts, or resources without requiring manual enumeration. In security, auto-discovery helps keep inventories current and reduces blind spots in dynamic environments.

   In plain English: Automatically finding systems or resources instead of relying on manual tracking.

   Example: "Cloud auto-discovery finally surfaced the forgotten test projects that were never added to the asset list."
