runZero 3.3: Unmatched visibility into your Google ecosystem

What’s new with runZero 3.3?

  • Extended visibility into Google Workspace
  • Queries for Google Workspace users and groups
  • Fingerprinting for Google assets
  • Identification of OpenSSL services
  • Improvements to the runZero Console

Extended visibility into Google Workspace
runZero 3.3 furthers the visibility into your Google ecosystem through a new integration with Google Workspace. runZero Professional+ users will be able to sync Google Workspace asset details from mobile devices, endpoints, and managed Chrome systems, while runZero Enterprise users will also be able to sync Users and Groups. Once the integrations are configured, users can view, search, analyze, export, and alert on attributes from both Google Workspace and Google Cloud Platform.

One of the key reasons to leverage the runZero integrations is to get better insight into the scope of your environment and completeness of coverage since MDM and IAM platforms can’t provide any insights into devices that haven’t been onboarded. To identify assets on your network that aren’t onboarded to Google Workspace, use the query source:runZero AND NOT source:googleworkspace. Conversely, use this query to find assets from Google Cloud Platform or Google Workspace that have not been scanned by runZero yet: (source:gcp OR source:googleworkspace) AND NOT source:runzero. These queries can help you keep pace with unmanaged and disconnected assets.

The integration also pulls in many Google Workspace attributes to give you comprehensive asset visibility. This could include attributes like when a device was last synced, whether a device has a password enabled or is encrypted, or whether it supports the use of a work profile. The Recent Users list in the asset details can also provide insight into device ownership and usage. You can filter for a specific user by using the @googleworkspace.mobile.email attribute for mobile devices or the @googleworkspace.chromeos.recentUsers attribute for ChromeOS devices. To find mobile devices that aren’t locked with a password try the query @googleworkspace.mobile.devicePasswordStatus:=”Off”, or use @googleworkspace.mobile.encryptionStatus:=”Not Encrypted” to find ones without encryption enabled. The wildcard operator also lets you find results with a range of OS versions, such as using @googleworkspace.endpoint.osVersion:=”MacOS 12.% to find Google Workspace assets running macOS Monterey.

runZero offers unmatched active network scanning, while also integrating with an ever-growing list of data sources so that you have a complete asset inventory at your fingertips. To get started, set up a connection to Google Workspace or Google Cloud Platform.

Queries for Google Workspace users and groups
runZero Enterprise users can leverage the new queries tailored for the Google Workspace integration to quickly find and alert on accounts that match particular parameters, in addition to being able to run searches in the Users and Groups inventories. Identify administrator accounts, suspended accounts, and accounts without MFA to improve IAM efforts and better protect your environment. These queries are included in the Query Library and can also be used to create alerts.

Run queries about Google Workspace users or create an alert rule to find assets of interest.

Fingerprinting for Google assets
runZero includes fingerprints for the metadata returned by the Google integrations, including Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace. This will help provide the most accurate operating system and hardware data about the assets in your inventory.

In addition to Google fingerprints, runZero has also improved fingerprinting coverage of Microsoft 365 Defender assets and SNMP devices. Additional support was added or improved for products by Apache, Aruba, Avaya, Axon, Cisco, CyberPower, Debian, Eaton, Epson, Fortinet, Fujifilm, Geist, Hikvision, Lexmark, Oracle, Sato, Sony, Vivi, and VMware.

Identification of OpenSSL services
In preparation for the OpenSSL vulnerability announcement, runZero released remote, unauthenticated fingerprinting for OpenSSL 3 services, allowing our users to get ahead of the mitigation process prior to the vulnerability details becoming public. This capability has since expanded to detect even more TLS implementations and track the TLS stacks in use on each asset. runZero users can find OpenSSL endpoints using the query product:openssl, in the assets, services, and software inventories.

The server-side exposure only applies to services that process client certificates. runZero already performs checks for this, even though it is not a common configuration. To identify services running OpenSSL 3.0.x variants that may be vulnerable to exploitation, use the following query in the service inventory search: _service.product:”OpenSSL:OpenSSL:3″ AND tls.requiresClientCertificate:”true”.

Improvements to the runZero Console
The 3.3 release includes several changes to the user interface to improve the performance of the runZero console. The tables on the Explorers, Sites, Organizations, and Your team pages now perform and load faster. This will let users query and sort the results in tables more efficiently, getting to the answers they need faster.

The release also extends the availability of the All Organizations view. All users now have a view that will show them the results from all of the organizations that they have access to. The available permissions in that view reflect their per-organization permissions so that they can manage resources just like they would when viewing a single organization.

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.

Cybersecurity Summit in Madrid: “Europe is already on alert for data to not depend on third parties”

Madrid hosted on October 26th and 27th one of the major international cybersecurity summits. 

The fair Cyber Security World has brought together large technology companies, public administrations and references from the IT sector to address the main topics. 

Among them that of cybersecurity

An increasingly analyzed concept that, in the midst of the Ukrainian war, has multiplied its concern among companies and governments.

What do you know about the Madrid cybersecurity summit?

Data hosting in the cloud, the adaptation of the different administrations and the emergence of new solutions are some of the issues addressed by the major players in the sector with the aim of preparing for the new digital era.

“Europe is already on alert for data to not depend on third parties.

It is a maxim both among public administrations and among companies, who may see their systems attacked by hackers or simple computer errors,” 

ensures monitoring expert Sancho Lerena, CEO of the IT company Pandora FMS

The European Commission, in fact, has already set ahead the goal of achieving technological independence by 2030. 

According to the data they provided, 90% of the data of the European Union are managed by American companies

In addition, less than 4% of major online platforms are European. 

An example of this technological fragility is that the European market represents less than 10% in the microchip manufacturing sector. 

“In a couple of years, more than 50% of companies should be using the Cloud,” the expert says. 

The European future of cybersecurity

The challenge for 2030 is to maximize digitisation within the European Union. 

The project Compass Digital, for example, includes multiple investments and objectives, but the sector agrees that many steps must be taken to achieve full cybersecurity nowadays. 

“There are many companies that still have legacy, outdated systems that cannot incorporate the latest security developments,” acknowledges Lerena.

The IT company Pandora FMS is one of those that works with both digital administrations and companies through its monitoring system. 

The concept of monitoring is increasingly widespread in the sector, as it allows the real-time management of all data generated within an IT structure. 

That way, companies achieve greater efficiency and reduce costs.

“This technology not only helps improve the control of data and activity of a platform, it also strengthens security and warns about possible errors to improve reaction time.” 

Explains the head of technology, whose solution is present in institutions such as Madrid Digital, relying on the Comunidad de Madrid, or the EMT

Also, having international giants such as Rakuten or Toshiba shows the importance that this type of technology currently has.

Europe is already looking to 2030 with the intention of extending this digitisation.

Companies are incorporating monitoring systems and strengthening the cybersecurity of their companies.The objective is none other than to prevent European actors from being “well below the EU’s global economic weight” in technologically relevant areas.

Essential for Smart Cities

Cybersecurity will become increasingly important.

Especially considering that the objective of the most developed countries is to implement those known as Smart Cities where technology and data control will be fundamental for the efficient management of cities.

The concept of Smart Cities responds to those cities where, through data analysis and the use of the latest technological solutions, services are more efficient for citizens and do not generate a negative impact either in economic terms or in the environmental field. 

For example, to find out in which areas more waste is generated to improve the garbage service in that area or the management of public transport through citizen accessibility. 

Therefore, the proper processing of these data and their security will be a pillar for the cities of the future

“Without the control of these data, and without technological independence, it will be very difficult to develop these Smart Cities in a stable way”, says Lerena.
