Vulnerability accountability platform

Every vuln has an asset. Every asset gets an owner.

Security stops owning risk it can't fix. Every scanner finding lands on a named human — the one who can actually patch.

What changes for you
For CISOs

One number for the board.

Program risk you can defend, not a 32k-row CSV. Attainment, KEV exposure, and per-BU rollups in one view.

For platform leads

One ticket per CVE, not 247.

The engine groups affected hosts by owner. Each owner sees their ~200, with SLAs you actually negotiated.

For sec ops

Stop owning risk you can't patch.

Every finding lands on a named human with a clock. The handoff happens — and shows up in the audit log.

The CTEM mobilization gap

Every VM tool ships you to stage 4. Mobilization is where they leave you.

Gartner's CTEM defines five stages — and every legacy scanner stops one stage short. Stage 5 is where vulnerabilities meet a named human with an SLA. Without it, findings pile up in a shared inbox and stay open.

How it works

Signals in. Owned remediation out.

Every finding from every scanner is fused with your asset truth, prioritized, and cascaded from a named owner up to the CISO view — with SLAs the org can defend.

One vulnerability · its journey

From one CVE to a program-level signal. Without anyone chasing.

A real CVE rarely hits one asset. It hits hundreds, across many owners. Watch one move from drop to closed — and see exactly what each tier of the org receives along the way.

Asset Owner Suggestion Engine

Name an owner for every asset — even the ones your CMDB forgot.

Most tools report unowned servers and network gear and leave you to chase them. The unowned queue is the killer of every infrastructure vulnerability program. We close it.

ZeroInSec fuses six signals — CMDB, AD groups, IPAM subnets, DHCP scopes, patch-system owners, and on-call schedules — into a probabilistic owner score, then assigns.

Tuned for infrastructure — servers, network devices, hypervisors, storage.

  • 6 signal sources fused per host — not just CMDB.
  • Confidence score on every suggestion, with the reasons exposed for audit.
  • Auto-reroute when an owner leaves, changes team, or fails SLA — no orphans.

Four-step loop

Close the ownership gap, then the vulnerability gap.

01

Identify

One canonical record per asset, deduplicated across Qualys, Tenable, Wiz, CrowdStrike, CMDB, and tickets.

02

Prioritize

Severity × asset criticality × exploit signal (KEV, EPSS). Not a CVSS leaderboard.

03

Assign

Asset Owner Suggestion Engine reads CMDB, AD, cloud tags, and commit history to name a human for every host. No asset left unowned.

04

Drive

SLA clocks, escalations, and approvals keep the queue moving — and cascade visibility from owner up to CISO.

Operations console

Run remediation like an incident bridge.

Every finding lands with an asset, an owner, and a clock. When the clock breaks SLA, the right engineering team gets paged — not the security inbox.

  • Hierarchy-aware ownership across business units, environments, and regions.
  • SLA matrix tuned by severity × asset criticality, not a single 30-day rule.
  • Approvals for SLA extensions, risk acceptance, and status changes — with audit trail.
