You always want to know what systems are in your environment. Your networking team keeps a list of all hosts which are on the network. Once per day, a list of hosts is logged. You write a script that goes down the list and looks up each host to see if it’s already in ISORA Isora GRC (you determine the criteria by which a host is recognized- MAC address, for instance). A new sheet is created in ISORA inventory containing all of the new hosts which were discovered that day. Based on where the device was detected or who logged in on it, your program notifies someone to log into ISORA Isora GRC and fill in additional details on the host, as well as adding moving it to it the appropriate department-specific sheet.
The benefit of using the API is that it allows you to automate this process. Without the API, it would be more difficult to programmatically add these new hosts to ISORA as they are discovered.
