CECA evaluations confirm runZero's active scanning enhances ICS visibility without performance impact on SCADA

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)'s Clean Energy Cybersecurity Accelerator™ (CECA) program performed an evaluation of the runZero Platform that accurately identified and inventoried all OT and IT IP-addressable assets through proprietary active scanning and passive traffic sampling in the test environment.

The CECA evaluations confirmed the ability of runZero’s active scanning methods to improve visibility with no impact on the performance of the Industry Control Systems (ICS) or ongoing supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) processes and communications.

The runZero Platform is designed to improve an asset owner’s visibility into their environment without impeding system operations. CECA’s conclusions challenge the broadly held industry concern that active scanning can inherently disrupt operations. Active scanning in the CECA test environment with runZero, however, proved safe; opening the door to expand scanning beyond passive collection methods.
