Installed software is one of those areas that sounds simple until you try to manage it across a fleet.
Different vessels.
Different PCs.
Different audit times.
Different support histories.
Cyber Detective Portal 2 now makes installed software easier to query from returned audit data.
Why this is useful
Software inventory helps answer practical questions:
- where is a browser installed?
- which PCs have an old application?
- what tools appear on only one vessel?
- what needs review before a support change?
This does not need to become a giant software asset platform.
For vessel support, a clear audit-backed list is often enough to start the right conversation.
Paired with fleet questions
The new fleet assistant can also answer simple software questions from the audit data.
For example:
Who has Chrome installed?
That is the kind of question a support engineer should be able to ask quickly without opening raw JSON or searching through several reports.
Bottom line
Software inventory is now part of the practical audit picture.
It gives teams another way to spot drift, prepare support work, and answer common fleet questions faster.
