Exposure Management for the Modern Attack Surface

Traditional scanners and agent-based tools leave critical blind spots across converged IT, OT, and IoT environments. In GigaOm’s CxO Decision Brief, Exposure Management for the Modern Attack Surface, explore how runZero delivers agentless, credential-free asset discovery and risk prioritization that reflects where the attack surface actually lives today and beyond.

Learn why GigaOm says runZero warrants serious evaluation for organizations seeking an exposure management program that reflects the full scope of their network. See how security leaders can shift from reactive patch management to proactive exposure management, identifying unmanaged assets, EOL systems, and high-risk attack paths before attackers can exploit them.

runZero was also recognized in the 2026 GigaOm Radar for Operational Technology Security as a Challenger and Fast Mover in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant for its ability to be safely deployed across fragile OT environments.

GigaOm's take on runZero:

Unified intelligence across IT, OT, and IoT

A single platform replaces the fragmented combination of point tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes that most organizations currently rely on for cross-environment inventory.

Security teams gain a consistent, continuously updated view of all networked assets, regardless of type, managed status, or location.

Agentless, credential-free deployment

runZero does not require agents installed on endpoints or preconfigured credentials for managed devices.

This eliminates the deployment barriers that limit the reach of agent-based tools and makes coverage of unmanaged assets, including OT and IoT devices, immediately achievable.

Exposure context beyond CVEs

By surfacing EOL devices, multi-homed devices, unmanaged assets, default credentials, anomalous assets, and misconfiguration risks alongside traditional vulnerability data, runZero provides a more complete picture of organizational exposure.

This enables security teams to prioritize based on attacker-relevant risk, not just CVSS scores.

Attack path mapping visualizations

runZero’s attack path visualization shows the relationship between exposed assets and the routes an attacker might take between them. This capability surfaces segmentation issues, high-risk assets, and choke points that could grant attackers access to high-value network zones, and it contextualizes individual exposures within the broader network topology, enabling more targeted and effective remediation.
