What we do

Without requiring agents, authentication, or appliances, runZero delivers the most complete and accurate visibility into every asset and exposure across internal, external, IT, OT, IoT, mobile, and cloud environments — including uncovering unknown and unmanageable devices and broad classes of exposures that evade traditional tools.
