GigaOm's take on runZero

OT discovery

“Identify assets with high precision, providing security teams with accurate inventory data without the risk of crashing sensitive OT hardware,” including shadow IT, forgotten infrastructure, and sub-assets reachable through protocol gateways.

OT threat intelligence

Leverage advanced OT threat intelligence and real-time detection for emerging threats “driven by a dedicated in-house research team, specializing in reverse-engineering OT protocol stacks and identifying insecure-by-design vulnerabilities.”

Unified IT/OT security

Achieve “a single source of truth that correlates data from enterprise IT assets, industrial OT infrastructure, and cloud environments within a common backplane.”

Ease of deployment

Get up and running fast — “implementation is exceptionally streamlined… the agentless and credential-free nature of the discovery process allows organizations to begin seeing results within minutes of deployment.”

Dive into the GigaOm Radar for OT Security v4 (2026)

Discover new approaches to harden your OT defenses.

This GigaOm Radar report examines 22 of the top OT security solutions and compares offerings against the capabilities (table stakes, key features, and emerging features) and nonfunctional requirements (business criteria). It provides an overview of the market, identifies leading OT security offerings, and helps decision-makers evaluate these solutions so they can make a more informed investment decision.

Why dive in? As Chris Ray states, "the OT security market has reached a critical inflection point where passive monitoring is no longer sufficient to mitigate modern industrial threats. For years, the sector focused almost exclusively on visibility, simply identifying what was on the wire. Today, the convergence of IT and OT, coupled with the rise of hyper-connected CPS, requires a transition toward active protection and automated resilience. Purchasers should view this space not as a standalone silo but as a discipline focused on maintaining the integrity of the physical process and ensuring human safety."
