Regulated CNAPP Runecast's cloud native application protection platform delivers AI powered risk mitigation and continuous compliance across on prem VMware, operating systems, cloud, and containers. The inclusion of TISAX and other automated checks targets highly regulated sectors such as automotive, pharma, and aerospace, creating a strong value proposition for enterprise customers seeking risk reduction and audit readiness. Recognitions from Gartner, CISA, and Frost & Sullivan bolster credibility for enterprise procurement.

Acquisition Synergies Dynatrace acquired Runecast in late 2023 to bolster cloud native security and compliance. This creates joint sell opportunities with Dynatrace customers and enables seamless integration of Runecast's CNAPP capabilities with Dynatrace telemetry, expanding market reach and shortening sales cycles through complementary products.

Credibility Boost Runecast is recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor, recommended by CISA, and winner of Frost & Sullivan's 2023 European New Product Innovation Award for CNAPP, plus Computing magazine awards for Enterprise Threat Detection and Cloud Security Product of the Year. These awards support credibility with procurement and security leaders in enterprise deals.

Ideal Segments Current customers include Avast, DLR and Merck/MSD, illustrating traction in cybersecurity, aerospace research, and pharma. The platform's coverage from on prem VMware to cloud and containers positions Runecast to sell into regulated mid market and large enterprises in automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, and technology, with potential for channel partnerships and MSP collaborations.

Automation Value Product milestones such as version 6.5.4 automating compliance checks including TISAX and ongoing SecOps initiatives demonstrate strong ROI through reduced manual auditing and faster audit readiness. This supports upsell to CIOs, CISOs, and IT security operations teams seeking ongoing compliance, risk reduction, and operational efficiency.
