Will AI-driven cyberattacks lead CISA to change KEV patching deadlines? Don’t miss Justin Doubleday’s recent article, AI drives new debate around CISA software patching deadlines, in Federal News Network. It’s a great summary of: ✅ Why this change is probably being considered, ✅ The challenges agencies will face if implemented, ✅ Changes the agencies will need to make to adapt, and ✅ How it could lead to the unintended consequence of increasing time to patch. Features commentary from Tod Beardsley, VP of Security Research, runZero. Read it today at: https://lnkd.in/eqD2bCC5 

🔈ICYMI: During their runZero Day session, HD Moore (runZero), Jonathan Cran (Mallory), and host Tod Beardsley (runZero) explored how AI-powered threat intelligence is providing defenders with a much-needed advantage in an increasingly noisy security landscape. 👉 Check out the clip & then watch the full episode to learn more about this timely topic! 🎥 runZero Day session—The infinite eye: How AI threat intelligence gives defenders an asymmetric edge https://lnkd.in/gr854YkV

Every security professional knows the feeling when a vulnerability advisory drops for embedded IoT devices. Historically, tracking down affected UPS management cards and printers meant hours of manual cable tracing and MAC address hunting across multiple IDF and MDF closets. Not anymore. Massive shoutout and gratitude to the Friday Institute and NCDPI for equipping our district with the tools to respond to threats efficiently. Thanks to the runZero visibility they provided, our incident response workflow went from hours of guessing to minutes of targeted execution. When a recent vulnerability hit our fleet, the remediation looked like this: 1️⃣ Queried the affected software via runZero. 2️⃣ Exported the telemetry data. 3️⃣ Parsed the export to instantly extract the exact Switch IPs and physical switch ports for every single vulnerable asset. 4️⃣ Used our site engine to drop the ports and quarantine the devices. From alert to full isolation in minutes—without leaving the console. This is what happens when you empower teams with absolute network visibility. We aren't just reacting; we are executing targeted remediations. Thank you to the Friday Institute and NCDPI leadership for your continued investment in our K-12 security posture. The tools you’ve put in our hands are making a measurable impact on the front lines. 🛡️💻 #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #NetworkVisibility #IncidentResponse #runZero #NCDPI #FridayInstitute #K12Security #ThreatHunting #SOC Cory Rankin Samuel Carter NCSU

New federal guidance recently dropped on applying Zero Trust (ZT) principles to Operational Technology (OT). Applying ZT to legacy OT systems is challenging. #OT environments are often old, expensive to modernize, and increasingly converging with IT networks, creating attractive targets for adversaries. So, what should you do? First, don't let the fear of OT fragility stop you from going beyond air-gaps and segmentation to protect your OT network. runZero has active scanning technology that is proven to be safe in these sensitive environments (according to an NREL evaluation). Next, runZero is empowering converged network defenders with new powerful capabilities from our recent 4.9 release that map attack paths, identify segmentation gaps, deliver deep OT intel (with field-level discovery), and more! Finally, make sure to read our blog about the recent federal guidance on applying ZT to OT and find out what our experts (Tod Beardsley and Colin Dupreay) say is the first step you should take for protecting your OT environment. 👀  Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/gnbZYGiw ➡️ For more 4.9 release details, visit: https://lnkd.in/gPq_-W4E 👉 Read the NREL report at: https://lnkd.in/gQwc7HpK #OTsecurity

🚨New Report: 2026 GigaOm Radar for Operational Technology Security “runZero excels in environments requiring comprehensive visibility into converged IT and OT networks.” — GigaOm Radar for OT Security The report evaluates security solutions designed specifically for industrial environments, focusing on purpose-built capabilities that can be safely deployed in OT environments. 🎉  We’re thrilled to announce that runZero is positioned as a Challenger and Fast Mover in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant of the Radar. 👏 runZero’s capabilities featured in the report include: ✅ 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 detection & response: 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.” Ready to learn more? 🎥 Join GigaOm Field CTO Chris Ray and runZero CEO HD Moore for a live webinar as they explore new methods for hardening OT defenses and discuss insights from the OT Radar. 💻 Webinar—Mind the Gaps: Securing the converged IT/OT attack surface 🗓️ Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT 👉 Register for the webinar & read the report at: https://lnkd.in/gPVyC6Mm #OTSecurity 

Stop guessing. Start mapping. 🗺️ With the release of runZero 4.9, we’re helping organizations "map the unmappable." Traditional tools often see a single gateway IP and stop there. runZero dives deeper, recursively walking the backplane to reveal the entire field-level topology of PLCs and nested devices. But discovery is only half the battle. Our new attack path mapping shows you exactly how an attacker could move through your network to reach those assets, exposing the segmentation gaps you didn't know existed. 🚀 Check out our latest blog to learn more about these capabilities: https://lnkd.in/gimSwtrQ For all 4.9 release information, visit: https://lnkd.in/gPq_-W4E #ExposureManagement #NetworkSegmentation #OTsecurity #ITOTConvergence #CriticalInfrastructure

Are unpatched, End-of-Life (EOL) devices making your network edge the easiest way in for attackers?🚪 In a recent runZero Day session, kimber D. and Patrick Garrity 👾🛹💙 from VulnCheck joined host Tod Beardsley (runZero) to discuss the risks lurking at your network edge. They detailed why EOL hardware—like routers and firewalls—are some of the most commonly exploited assets. They also explore how this problem is exacerbated by internet service providers that continue to issue EOL hardware to new customers as well as the lack of consumer awareness regarding router updates. Stop leaving the door open. 🎥 Watch the full on-demand session to learn more: https://lnkd.in/giu2dGVj #EOL #networksecurity
