Presidio deploys runZero for greater visibility across their internal and client networks.

Overview

Presidio wanted a centralized view of everything on their internal, AWS, and virtual environments, so they could quickly find and answer questions about their networks and assets. Most of the discovery solutions they evaluated were expensive, bundled with other solutions, and required credentials or agents for scanning.

Additionally, their inefficient client onboarding process required manual asset data gathering and input into spreadsheets. Immediately after the team deployed runZero, they were able to gain insights into their environment. With runZero, Presidio is able to streamline asset discovery, and as a result, optimize efficiencies across multiple areas of their business.

Problem

Presidio is a Global Digital Services and Solutions Provider that delivers managed services and solutions to help organizations strengthen their security posture. Internally, Presidio lacked visibility into their environment and needed help with their asset inventory. The team knew they wanted automated discovery capabilities that could deliver asset visibility across not only their internal networks, but for their clients as well.

Solution

As Presidio looked into asset discovery solutions, they recalled a tool they had learned about on Reddit called runZero. runZero doesn't require endpoint agents or credentials for discovery. Within a few days, they were able to self-deploy runZero internally and set up recurring scans to update their asset inventory. Now, when it comes to the next step of their workflow with a CMDB like ServiceNow, the system is able to automatically ingest data from runZero.

Outcomes

After seeing immediate success with their internal deployment, Presidio started using runZero to onboard clients to their managed service programs. With runZero, they've been able to eliminate spreadsheets, thereby reducing the amount of time spent manually collecting client data. Instead, they can focus on delivering outcomes for their clients.

Why runZero?

"runZero eliminates the complexity and cost barrier present in most asset discovery solutions. Other tools are not only expensive and difficult to deploy, and their discovery capabilities are secondary. runZero purely focuses on asset discovery. It has become a tool in our arsenal and helped us speed up client onboarding and investigations," says Ryan Pinga, President of Cybersecurity Services and Maintenance Services at Presidio. "The last thing our clients want to do is fill out a spreadsheet or answer questions about their assets. We want to show to our clients that we are helping them focus on doing more valuable things for their company."
