Principle 5: Boundary Hardening
Your perimeter is your strongest asset against legacy vulnerabilities.
- Rotate default passwords immediately.
- Implement phish-resistant MFA.
- Use context-aware access (Location, OS version, Time).
Principle 6: Impact Limitation
Assume a breach will happen. Design your network to contain it.
- Segmentation: Isolate functional networks via firewalls.
- Lateral Movement Defense: Use microsegmentation to block host-to-host pivoting.
Principle 7: Logging & Monitoring
Logs must be actionable, not just stored.
| Focus Area | Action |
|---|---|
| Anomalies | Alert on traffic baselines. |
| Break-Glass | High-criticality alerts on emergency account use. |
| Data Flows | Monitor cross-segment transfers. |
Principle 8: Isolation Planning
Develop a “kill switch” strategy that maintains critical functions.
- Test Site Isolation before an actual emergency occurs.
- Ensure critical functions operate in “Offline Mode.”

About runZero
runZero, a network discovery and asset inventory solution, was founded in 2018 by HD Moore, the creator of Metasploit. HD envisioned a modern active discovery solution that could find and identify everything on a network–without credentials. As a security researcher and penetration tester, he often employed benign ways to get information leaks and piece them together to build device profiles. Eventually, this work led him to leverage applied research and the discovery techniques developed for security and penetration testing to create runZero.
