Asset Discovery

runZero brings a new form of asset discovery to map devices within an IT, IoT to even an OT environment. Thanks to new techniques, 30-40% more devices in the network are discovered without the use of an agent on the device. Find out all about it here.

Importance of Asset Discovery in NIS2

With the forthcoming regulations around NIS2 in the Netherlands in mind, these regulations expect an Asset inventory to perform a risk analysis on this. For organisations within traditional IT environments, it is relatively easy to list the number of laptops, servers, smartphones and printers. But what do you do with Video IP cameras, electric charging stations or temperature sensors in server rooms. Often, these elements are also forgotten.

Within OT environments (e.g. manufacturing), the problem set is sometimes even greater. Often, within these critical environments, specific devices are used on which no scanning software can/may run.

As a network administrator, how will you manage these devices and detect any problems?

A new way of Asset Discovery with runZero

Achieve complete, unified asset inventory and superior attack surface management.
runZero is a cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) solution that enables security teams to gain comprehensive visibility into complex environments and accelerate exposure management.

Compliance runZero

Close gaps in EDR coverage and improve security measures.

Devices without endpoint protection are easy targets for attackers. Maximising EDR coverage is therefore an excellent way to improve your overall security posture. runZero identifies endpoints missing your endpoint detection and response solution so you can close the gaps.

Endpoint protection

Vulnerability scanning and management

Ensure critical assets are scanned for vulnerabilities.

With runZero, you can easily see which assets are missed by your vulnerability scanner, so you can improve coverage and comply with regulations.

Scan vulnerabilities

Ownership of assets with runZero

Know who is responsible for each asset.

Asset ownership mapping helps you quickly find out who is responsible for maintaining, updating or retiring an asset. runZero automatically updates asset ownership data so that it is always up to date, speeding up response times and keeping you compliant with regulations.

Ownership of assets

Attack Surface with runZero

Understand your attack surfaces inside and out.

With runZero, you can view your attack surfaces through the eyes of an adversary. Our Explorers™️ scans external perimeters to detect exposed devices and services, providing the context you need to understand the exposure of your overall attack surface.

Attack surface assessment

Know your network with runZero

Visualise network topology and segmentation.

runZero provides an accurate and up-to-date overview of your network topology and reveals pivot points between subnets that may pose risks. The platform also highlights network segmentation issues, helping you achieve zero-trust goals and meet compliance requirements.

Network insights

Discover unknown subnets with runZero

Explore unknown subnets safely and easily.

Unauthorised subnets are hiding places where adversaries can hide for longer periods of time while evading detection. runZero reveals these high-risk unknown subnets so you can stay ahead of attackers.

OT support with runZero

Safely discover even the most vulnerable devices.

runZero provides insight into vulnerable OT environments through both active scanning and passive detection. These functionalities are specifically designed to address the challenges of OT environments, such as improving fingerprinting accuracy and applying techniques that prevent disruption to vulnerable devices.

OT Support

Return of value with runZero

Collect, correlate and deduplicate data from multiple sources.

runZero collects, correlates and deduplicates asset data from multiple tools, giving you the most complete, accurate and detailed inventory in one centralised system. You can finally say goodbye to spreadsheet chaos and searching across multiple consoles.

Data Unification

Scalability with runZero

Make sure your CMDB and SIEM are accurate.

runZero ensures that your CMDB and SIEM are always up-to-date and accurate. Seamless egress integrations allow you to use runZero’s data in your workflows to improve efficiency.

  • How does Armis assist in vulnerability management as required by NIS2?

    Armis assists in vulnerability management by continuously monitoring all connected devices for known vulnerabilities and providing real-time alerts when a device is found to be at risk. This proactive approach allows organizations to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, aligning with the NIS2 directive’s requirement for effective risk management and mitigation.

  • How does Armis enhance asset visibility and management?

    Armis enhances asset visibility and management by automatically discovering and identifying all connected devices in real-time, including unmanaged and IoT devices. It provides detailed information about each asset, such as its type, location, behavior, and security posture, allowing organizations to manage and secure their entire asset inventory effectively.

  • How does Armis help organizations comply with the NIS2 directive’s asset management requirements?

    Armis helps organizations comply with the NIS2 directive’s asset management requirements by providing comprehensive visibility into all connected devices and ensuring that they are accounted for in the organization’s asset inventory. The NIS2 directive mandates that critical infrastructure operators maintain an accurate inventory of their assets and manage their security, which Armis facilitates through automated asset discovery and continuous monitoring.

  • How does Armis support the overall security strategy required by the NIS2 directive?

    Armis supports the overall security strategy required by the NIS2 directive by providing comprehensive asset visibility, continuous monitoring, and real-time threat detection across all connected devices. This enables organizations to manage their assets effectively, mitigate risks, and ensure compliance with NIS2 requirements, thereby protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining the continuity of essential services.

  • What benefits does Armis provide in terms of incident response, and how does this relate to NIS2?

    Armis provides significant benefits in terms of incident response by offering detailed insights into device behavior and security events, enabling rapid identification and isolation of compromised assets. The NIS2 directive requires organizations to have robust incident response capabilities, and Armis supports this by ensuring that any device-related incidents can be quickly detected, investigated, and resolved.

  • What is Armis, and how does it relate to asset management?

  • What role does Armis play in securing unmanaged and IoT devices?

    Armis plays a crucial role in securing unmanaged and IoT devices by identifying these often-overlooked assets, assessing their security posture, and monitoring their behavior for signs of potential threats. As these devices are frequently targets for cyberattacks due to their lack of built-in security, Armis helps mitigate risks by ensuring they are managed and protected in the same way as traditional IT assets.

  • Why is asset management important for cybersecurity?

    Asset management is crucial for cybersecurity because it enables organizations to identify, track, and manage all devices and systems connected to their network. Knowing what assets are present allows for effective vulnerability management, ensures that security policies are enforced consistently, and reduces the risk of unauthorized devices accessing the network.

  • Why is continuous asset discovery and inventory management critical for NIS2 compliance?

    Continuous asset discovery and inventory management are critical for NIS2 compliance because they ensure that the organization’s asset inventory is always accurate and up-to-date. This is crucial for identifying unauthorized devices, assessing security risks, and implementing effective controls to protect critical infrastructure, all of which are mandated by the NIS2 directive.

  • Why is real-time asset monitoring essential for compliance with the NIS2 directive?

    Real-time asset monitoring is essential for compliance with the NIS2 directive because it ensures that any changes in the network environment, such as the addition of new devices or changes in device behavior, are immediately detected and addressed. The NIS2 directive emphasizes the importance of maintaining an up-to-date view of the network and its assets to respond quickly to potential security incidents.
