Enhanced Network Visibility
Integrating NetBox with runZero unifies NetBox's network documentation with runZero's asset discovery, enriching your inventory with device roles, connections, and IP allocations. This streamlined view helps identify undocumented assets, unmanaged devices, and misconfigurations, strengthening your security posture.

Improved Discovery and Risk Assessment
runZero now supports FortiGate and FortiManager protocols, making it easier for you to discover and profile Fortinet devices across your network. With this support, you gain more precise identification and deeper insights into your Fortinet infrastructure, helping you ensure continuous assessment of devices for exposures and prioritize remediation efforts effectively.

Enhanced Discovery and Profiling for Comtrol IO-Link Devices
Support for fingerprinting Comtrol IO-Link devices is now available. This enhancement lets you precisely identify and profile Comtrol IO-Link Masters and their connected devices, giving you detailed insights into configurations and statuses so you can more effectively manage and secure your IO-Link infrastructure.

Deeper Insights into OT Devices with Backplane Enumeration
Backplane enumeration for Operational Technology (OT) devices is now supported using the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) over EtherNet/IP. This developing feature allows detailed discovery of devices connected via backplane, such as PLC modules and I/O cards, providing better insights into your industrial control systems.
