RunZero's Vulnerability Scanning Revolution
RunZero is introducing a new approach to vulnerability scanning, filling a significant gap left by traditional providers. The platform allows users to direct a scanner towards an IP range, offering insights that prioritize critical vulnerabilities, particularly those that often go unreported.
