Accenture has acquired runZero, a leading provider of exposure management solutions, for an undisclosed amount. runZero, founded by HD Moore, offers a single source of truth for exposure management across the total attack surface, encompassing internal, external, IT, OT, IoT, mobile, and cloud environments. Its platform provides complete and accurate visibility into every asset and exposure, helping organizations mitigate risks faster, meet compliance requirements, and continuously discover assets and exposures that others miss. Customers typically find 25% more assets with runZero than they were previously aware of. The runZero Platform operates without agents, authentication, or appliances, leveraging novel active scanning, passive discovery, and API integrations to deliver insights and in-depth fingerprinting. The company currently serves over 500 global customers, including Fortune 500 entities, and was recently named a Customers’ Choice on Gartner® Peer Insights.
This acquisition significantly strengthens Accenture's cybersecurity capabilities, particularly within its security services portfolio. Accenture, a global professional services company, aims to integrate runZero's advanced attack surface management technology to enhance its offerings in risk mitigation and security posture improvement for clients worldwide. The strategic move addresses the increasing demand from enterprises for comprehensive visibility into their digital assets and exposures, which is critical for effective cyber defense in today's complex threat landscape.
The integration of runZero's agentless discovery and exposure detection platform with Accenture's extensive cybersecurity services is expected to create powerful synergies. Clients will benefit from enhanced capabilities to identify, assess, and manage their entire attack surface more effectively, enabling proactive risk management. The combined entity is poised to deliver a more robust and comprehensive suite of cybersecurity solutions, empowering organizations to navigate evolving threats, improve their resilience, and maintain a strong security posture in an increasingly interconnected world.
