More particular IT categories that it assists with are security standards compliance, vulnerability assessment and management, configuration management, Cloud and Kubernetes security posture management (CSPM/KSPM), IT operations management (ITOM), Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), and upgrade planning, to name a few.

Some key challenges that Runecast helps CISOs and CIOs with are maintaining and proving security compliance, compensating for IT skills shortages, and ensuring both business continuity and operational resilience. "As of July, we now address 62% of the CNAPP market with our coverage of 'the Big Three'." "Runecast has been working with Gartner to be a strong contender in the cloud-native application protection platform space, which is where organisations need to be looking next for the likes of cloud security," Runecast co-founder and chief revenue officer Ched Smokovic says. Runecast's latest release, Runecast 6.2, introduced its coverage for Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which means it now covers the 'Big Three' cloud service providers: AWS, Azure and GCP. Runecast Analyzer, or as the company also call it, the Runecast platform, has won multiple awards and much acclaim from industry experts, including Gartner, which named the company a Cool Vendor in its Cool Vendors in Performance Analysis for Cloud-Native Architectures report.īut Runecast feels the greatest recognition is from its customers, who tell the company that its platform saves them 75-90% of the time they were previously wasting on reactive approaches to ITOM, CSPM, compliance and other challenges. Runecast has also just added a new channel veteran to its team, in the role of global enablement manager, to help it optimise its channel program. In APAC specifically, the company's partnerships with Rhipe and Ingram Micro have proven popular with local customers. Over the last year or so, Runecast has been transitioning toward being 100% channel. The company has been active since 2015 and in APAC just as long since Ched Smokovic, one of its co-founders, is based in Sydney. While Runecast operates globally, its strongest regions are EMEA, North America, and APAC. The company is doing its best to help organisations future-proof their business and has grown its team to around 80 people, a diverse group representing over 20 countries. Now Runecast provides both security and operations teams with what a few industry experts have called a 'must-have' solution. The company developed a predictive and actionable AI-driven platform to give IT teams a proactive solution to do what wasn't humanly possible. The founders all worked together at IBM and saw a definite need to help IT teams gain visibility and control over their environments. Runecast was founded in 2014, with headquarters in London.
