Getting actionable answers from your asset inventory shouldn't feel like a chore. Yet, translating a complex business question into specialized query syntax, building manual dashboards, and comparing risk criticality against threat databases routinely drains hours, if not days, of valuable time.
With runZero's AI-assisted reporting, that workflow is transformed and streamlined. By simply entering a plain-language request, whether it's a specific security query, or a chart visualization, you receive a finished, actionable analysis grounded in live inventory data in just minutes.
Speed is essential when security operations teams must quickly assess risks and mitigate emerging threats. Whether you are delivering executive reports or collaborating with team members who lack deep runZero expertise or access, our AI-assisted reporting provides the clear, actionable insights you need.
Let’s break down how this seamlessly integrated capability empowers security teams to turn asset and exposure data into decision-ready intelligence.
Impactful intelligence, built for efficiency #
AI workflows in runZero aren't a bolted-on chatbot or an afterthought. Positioned directly within the console under Reports → AI threads, AI reporting functions as a core analysis engine built into your everyday routine.
The runZero advantage: Speed, accuracy, and insight #
Customized reports in minutes #
Security teams no longer need to write custom database scripts or spend hours wrangling data in spreadsheets. By phrasing queries naturally, such as "find critical assets anywhere in the world to understand immediate threats and present it in an actionable report" — the AI rapidly executes multi-step analytics across your entire asset base, even in environments with tens of thousands of hosts.
In minutes, you receive a polished output featuring executive summaries, embedded visual bar charts, and risk-ranked tables. Beyond high-level stats, it delivers prioritized asset lists and specific vulnerability call-outs, complete with CISA Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) context and practical remediation guidance. runZero makes sharing reports simple. Every report is saved as an artifact you can share with teammates who have access to the same organizations, or you can export it to Markdown, HTML, or PDF to send to executives and other external stakeholders.
Grounded in live data with absolute auditability #
Accuracy is essential when assessing organizational risk. Unlike generic LLM tools that answer from memory, runZero's AI grounds every answer in live tool calls against your actual inventory data. Every answer is computed dynamically using your most recent discovery records, real-time risk scores, and current EPSS metrics.
Crucially, transparency is built in. Defenders can expand the AI's work log at any point to inspect every underlying query, tool call, and context token executed during the analysis, ensuring complete confidence in the findings.
Proactive detection of blind spots #
Beyond answering direct questions, runZero AI proactively uncovers hidden data hygiene and operational blind spots. During analysis, it routinely surfaces actionable insights without explicit prompting, including:
- Mislabeled assets: Spotting instances where low-level networking gear is incorrectly categorized as high-priority critical servers carrying active vulnerabilities.
- Governance disconnects: Identifying hosts manually tagged as critical that show zero exploit likelihood, highlighting where manual tagging has drifted from real threat urgency.
Flexible workflows for any security challenge #
Whether you need to investigate an ad-hoc query or generate a standard executive briefing, runZero adapts to your preferred workflow. You can leverage freeform exploration to ask conversational questions about software, network topology, or asset exposure, or skip prompt engineering entirely using the guided report gallery.
Built-in templates tackle critical security assessments instantly:
- Critical systems & Blast radius: Map high-impact systems based on reach upon compromise.
- Deep outliers: Detects unusual or non-standard devices across your fleet.
- End-of-Life OS analysis: Highlight legacy operating systems across sites with prioritized migration steps.
- Internet exposure: Identify externally accessible systems and services ranked by risk.
- Rogue & unmanaged assets: Surface discovered hosts missing required endpoint management or security tooling.
Effortless artifact management and exporting #
Every report, script, or visualization the AI generates is preserved independently as a distinct artifact. These are kept private by default until you decide to share them across your team.
When it’s time to distribute results, you can export artifacts directly to Markdown, HTML, PDF, or raw formats like CSV tables and Starlark integration scripts. Full tracking records the underlying AI model and generation date, making compliance and auditing straightforward.
Bringing it all together: Smarter security reporting #
runZero's AI-assisted reporting bridges the gap between complex inventory data and executive-ready insight. By letting security teams query their environment naturally and receive verified, actionable reports in minutes, organizations can dramatically reduce investigation times and focus resources where exposure is greatest.
