Overview
Founded in 2004 by Geert Moernaut and headquartered in Merelbeke (near Ghent), Lansweeper provides agentless Technology Asset Intelligence (TAI): software that automatically discovers and inventories all IT, OT, IoT, and cloud assets across an organization's environment. The platform produces a continuously updated database of hardware, software licenses, users, and network topology, serving IT operations, security, and compliance teams.
Lansweeper operated as a bootstrapped company for over a decade before Belgian private equity firm Dovesco acquired it in 2018. In June 2021, Insight Partners made a EUR 130M minority investment (total round equivalent to $159M), giving Lansweeper capital to accelerate product development and international go-to-market.
With around 400 employees and customers including Lockheed Martin, Red Bull, and the University of Cambridge, Lansweeper is one of Flanders' most established SaaS businesses. CEO Dave Goossens has led the company through its scale-up phase following the Insight investment.

In the news
- Everyone's chasing a clean CMDB. Almost nobody agrees on what that actually means. That's what Glen Moor, co-founder and COO of Syncfish Pty Ltd, told Gary Blower in this month's episode of Nothing Hidden, Nothing Missed. For some teams, clean just means automated. For others, it means full application dependency mapping from business service all the way down to infrastructure. The gap between those two definitions is enormous, and most organisations haven't even figured out where they sit on that spectrum. Here's the thing
- A policy can tell people which AI they're allowed to use. It can't tell you what they're actually using. That gap is why 53% of CISOs say they can't confidently identify every AI agent in their environment (Okta, 2026). On September 22, Lansweeper Pulse looks at how teams move from AI governance on paper to visibility they can stand behind. Join us to explore how to uncover unapproved AI, understand the risk, and decide what to do next. Bring your questions for the people working directly on the discovery, security, and product
- Our team is at CIO Houston Summit, connecting with the IT and security leaders shaping what's next for their organizations. So happy we are back in the field with two of our great Lansweeper ambassadors, Matt Austin and Ryan Sparks. Matt also led an Innovation Session, "One Source of Truth: Aligning IT and Security Before AI Outpaces Both," a perfect fit for the theme: "Unlocking What's Next." Real conversations. Real energy. And a busy fall event season just getting started! What's on your radar as AI reshapes IT and security
- The problem was never having too few IT tools. It was having too many, each built on its own, none of them ever meant to show the full picture." In his latest piece, our Chief Strategy Officer Roel Decneut argues that this kind of fragmentation used to just slow teams down. Now that agentic AI is in the mix, it's becoming a real risk for the boardroom. Latest insights from our CSO. Link in the comments 👇 #Lansweeper #ITAM #AIGovernance

- OT used to be its own island. Isolated from IT. Proprietary protocols. Specialized hardware. Connected by copper. That island is gone. OT now runs on common internet protocols, general-purpose hardware, and mainstream operating systems, and it's bridged straight into the corporate network. Every connected OT device is now an IT security and compliance concern, not just an operations one. In the webinar on September 15th, Lansweeper's Filip Van Houtte and SysAid's Oded Moshe unpack what that shift means for asset visibility. Save
