Who leads security at Rapid7

What the company sells

Rapid7 sells the Command Platform, which runs cloud security, SIEM, application security, vulnerability management, automation and attack surface management solutions, along with managed services offerings built on these solutions. Rapid7 provides Managed Vulnerability Management, Managed Threat Complete and Managed Detection & Response. Rapid7 offers 24x7 XDR monitoring, remediation and DFIR from experts who extend a customer's team. Rapid7 Insight products can be used individually or together for a tailored security solution.

Rapid7 exposure management provides continuous assessment of an attack surface to validate vulnerabilities and policy gaps. Rapid7 attack surface management gives a unified view of assets across a digital estate, with native and third-party enrichment. Rapid7 attack surface management discovers unknown internet-facing and internal assets and uncovers shadow IT and coverage gaps. Rapid7 uses that asset context in Exposure Command to prioritize what attackers can reach. Rapid7 attack surface management includes external scans that detect and validate exposures while highlighting high-risk areas. Rapid7 continuous monitoring and discovery cover internal and external asset inventories. Rapid7 offers multi-cloud and container security for AWS, Azure, GCP and K8s. Rapid7 offers application and API security testing covering DAST, API and LLM.

Rapid7 vulnerability management uses agent-based and network scanning across hybrid environments. Rapid7 cloud security addresses multi-cloud environments and provides cloud risk monitoring and detection. Rapid7 threat intelligence includes mapping capabilities for discovering and remediating external threats. Rapid7 Intelligence curates emergent threat response, proprietary intelligence, research and adversary insights that are deployed across Rapid7 solutions and services.

Threat Command monitors the clear, deep, and dark web to identify risks before they become attacks. Rapid7 provides proactive clear, deep and dark web monitoring for threats to an organization, its employees and its customers. Rapid7 offers a dynamic asset mapping framework that tracks a customer's evolving digital footprint and identifies new potential attack vectors. Threat Command takes on takedown management for organizations. A dedicated Rapid7 team gathers prerequisites, accelerates requests and streamlines workflows with a customer's legal team.

Rapid7 offers technology and service add-ons that extend MDR capabilities. Rapid7 offers expert threat detection coverage to identify early threat signals across the clear, deep and dark web. Rapid7 MDR pricing is based on the number of endpoints, servers and networks protected, and not on data volume ingested into its SIEM or the number of incidents requiring response.

Rapid7 penetration testing services simulate real-world attacks to assess, evaluate and identify security weaknesses in an organization's people, processes and technology. Rapid7 testers inspect networks, applications, devices and/or people to demonstrate the security level of key systems and infrastructure. Rapid7 penetration testing engagements identify flaws that may violate compliance provisions or regulations. Rapid7 penetration testers contribute directly to the Metasploit Project. Rapid7 consultants spend up to 20% of bench time focused on attacker research and skill development. Rapid7 offers continuous red team operations to validate external attack surface exposures and test defenses. Metasploit validates vulnerabilities and enables phishing and broader social engineering. Rapid7 typically publishes advisories on newly discovered vulnerabilities approximately 60 days after its initial attempts at private disclosure.
