About runZero

RunZero by runZero is a network mapping and asset discovery platform designed to provide organizations with deep visibility into all devices connected to their networks.

RunZero by runZero is a network mapping and asset discovery platform designed to provide organizations with deep visibility into all devices connected to their networks. Its primary purpose is to identify and map assets across complex environments without requiring intrusive scanning or credentials. Key features include agentless discovery, passive and active scanning, detailed device fingerprinting, and real-time asset inventory. Originally developed with a strong focus on security and visibility, RunZero is particularly useful for organizations seeking to uncover unmanaged or hidden devices that may pose risks.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • It finds devices hiding in the corners of your network that other scanners simply walk right past.
  • You can get it up and running in minutes since there are no clunky agents or appliances to install.
  • It plays nice with fragile OT equipment, so you won't accidentally crash a critical industrial system while scanning.
  • The KEV Collider tool is a lifesaver for figuring out which "critical" alerts actually matter in the real world.
  • Having one single view for IT, IoT, and cloud assets finally stops the constant jumping between different security tools.
Cons
  • Because it’s so deep, the sheer amount of data and "unknown" assets uncovered can feel a bit overwhelming initially.
  • Organizations strictly requiring local, on-premise data processing might find the cloud-based platform's architecture a hurdle for certain policies.
  • It focuses heavily on visibility and discovery, so you'll still need other tools to actually deploy the security patches.
  • While it’s great for discovery, the specialized "KEVology" insights might be overkill for very small businesses with simple setups.
  • The reliance on active scanning, even if safe, still requires careful coordination with network teams in highly sensitive environments.

Features

Key features

Unrivaled Visibility

Provides a complete view of the internal and external attack surface across IT, OT, IoT, mobile, and cloud environments.

Proprietary Active Scanning

Utilizes safe, novel fingerprinting and active discovery that requires no agents, authentication, or physical appliances.

KEV Collider Tool

Correlates CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities with daily metadata to help investigators prioritize real-world threats over theoretical risks.

Unmanaged Asset Discovery

Specifically excels at uncovering "unknown" or "shadow" devices that traditional credential-heavy scanners often miss.

Safe OT/IoT Discovery

Features scanning technology proven safe for fragile, sensitive industrial and internet-of-things devices without causing business disruption.

Risk Lifecycle Management

Combines deep asset attributes with risk dashboards to accelerate the timeline from identifying an exposure to remediating it.

Additional features

External Attack Surface Management

Identifies and monitors all internet-facing assets and potential entry points for attackers.

Internal Asset Discovery

Maps out the entire internal network to find every connected device, including those hidden behind subnets.

Agentless Deployment

Operates without the need to install software on end-user devices, simplifying rollouts across large organizations.

Credential-Free Scanning

Gathers deep technical data and fingerprints without needing administrative passwords or service accounts.

Passive Discovery

Monitors network traffic quietly to identify assets without sending active probes when necessary.

API Integrations

Connects seamlessly with other cloud and security tools to aggregate data into a single source of truth.

Advanced Fingerprinting

Profiles each discovered asset against nearly 1,000 different attributes for precise identification.

Cloud & Mobile Visibility

Extends security coverage to virtual instances and mobile devices used within the corporate ecosystem.

KEVology Reporting

Offers expert-led analysis of vulnerability trends to help security teams understand exploit behaviors and timelines.

Risk Dashboards

Visualizes exposure data to highlight which assets are most vulnerable and require immediate attention.

Inquiry Tools

Provides powerful search and query capabilities to allow teams to investigate specific security concerns rapidly.

Compliance Support

Helps organizations meet regulatory requirements by maintaining a comprehensive and accurate inventory of all hardware.
