How Runecast works for IT Operations & Security Teams

Backstory

Our founders, themselves IT system administrators, experienced that around 90% of issues occuring in virtualized environments had already been documented in Knowledge Base (KB) articles, forums, and other public resources – but it wasn't humanly possible to keep on top of all this information. With this in mind, they had a vision to build real-time, automated insights for mission-critical IT environments.

The result: Runecast Analyzer

Runecast Analyzer’s patented technology converts industry sources of information (e.g. VMware Knowledge Base (KB) articles, vendor Best Practices, security hardening guidelines, security compliance standards/benchmarks, and other ‘sources of truth’) into machine-readable data. This data is processed on the Runecast Analyzer appliance, which then scans your AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, VMware and Windows and Linux OS for hidden problems, deviations from best practices, and non-compliance with the security frameworks that you select.

Runecast Analyzer continuously scans configuration and logs against known issues, security standards, VMware HCL, vendor Best Practices, and more – to enable your IT Operations Management (ITOM) with a proactive approach toward Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM), and overall Security Configuration Assessment (SCA). VMSAs/CVEs display on the main dashboard to make vulnerability management simple. Ensure consistency and end config drift with Configuration Vault. Generate custom remediation scripts. Validate host hardware, BIOS, drivers and firmware against the HCL (for current installed versions and upgrade simulation). See issues and historical data for AWS, Azure, Kubernetes and VMware.
