SY0-701 - Security Operations - Section 4.2

Explain the security implications of proper hardware, software, and data asset management.

Describe how maintaining an accurate asset inventory, assigning clear ownership, and following secure acquisition and procurement practices reduce the risk of unmanaged or shadow assets. Explain why secure disposal and data sanitisation are the final critical step, recognising that improperly decommissioned hardware can expose sensitive data even after an asset leaves the organisation.
