Integrated Security Operations for the Next-Generation Attack Surface
Over the last 24 years, Rapid7 has evolved from being one of the founding vendors in the vulnerability management category, to having a comprehensive portfolio of security technologies and services trusted by over 11,000 customers around the globe, as well as being the proud curators of one of the most renowned security open source communities. Today, I’m excited to share the next chapter in our mission to give customers command of their attack surface: the introduction of the Rapid7 Command Platform - our unified threat exposure, detection and response platform.
As cybercrime and attack surfaces have expanded over the last two-plus decades, Rapid7 has been able to grow with our customers because we are relentlessly focused on relevance. At a time when the scales are increasingly tipped in favor of the adversary, having the relevant data and context teams need at their fingertips is critical for effective manage risk and stay ahead of threats. In other words, irrelevance – silos, noise, data discrepancies, and missing context - is the enemy of security success.
This focus on relevance has informed the way we’ve expanded our portfolio and addressed unmet needs of the market up to this point. While other vendors launched SIEMs focused on log aggregation and building mounds of data for customers to parse through, we launched our detections-centric next-gen SIEM focused on keeping SOCs ahead of adversaries. As other MDRs became 'alert factories' that pushed the hard work back on the shoulders of their customers, we focused on building high signal-to-noise full environment coverage and end-to-end partnership. And when other exposure management providers stopped at the endpoint, we pushed coverage to the cloud and beyond. For us, relevance doesn’t mean aligning to market definitions of categories, but rather deeply understanding how critical decisions need to be made in security teams and building solutions that provide the right context where and when customers need it.
A Relevant View of Your Attack Surface You Can Trust
Rapid7’s obsession with relevance has fueled and underpins the creation of the Command Platform. Delivering relevant context and insights begins with an understanding of what you need to secure. As I have the privilege of talking to so many of our customers and security professionals around the world, I continue to be taken aback by the prevailing lack of reliable attack surface visibility at organizations of all industries, segments, and sizes. Time and again, 99% of the teams I speak to are cobbling together disparate sources of truth, with a high cost to their business, and low confidence in the picture they are putting together. How can we secure and manage what we cannot see?
The Command Platform delivers a more comprehensive view of your attack surface that you can trust. Anchored by Surface Command, our new unified asset inventory product, Rapid7 can now deliver a more complete, vendor-agnostic view of your internal and external attack surface- at a disruptive all-in value. With a rapidly growing library of over 100 connectors, you can collect and unify data across your security ecosystem. Our AI-charged correlation engine deduplicates and reconciles telemetry across sources to create a cohesive visualization of your environment. And data transparency and detailed metadata drill-downs mean you can feel confident that you have both a more complete picture and the context you need to accelerate critical security decisions across teams. Zero in on controls and policy gaps, discover shadow IT, and gather relevant context that accelerates prioritization and remediation activities- with total visibility you gain total control.
Unified Attack Defense and Response
Underpinned by more comprehensive attack surface visibility, the Command Platform unifies endpoint-to-cloud exposure management and detection and response to anticipate threats, responding confidently and more completely to cyber attacks. These fundamental programs have been siloed for too long, but the ability to maximize the utility of your security data across these programs and bring them into a single, integrated platform yields better productivity, efficiency, and efficacy for security teams.
With threat-informed exposure management, teams can defend and monitor their risk landscape through the lens of an adversary. This new solution - Exposure Command- brings together the comprehensive visibility of Surface Command, with leading vulnerability management and cloud-native application protection to deliver a true end-to-end attack defense. With Exposure Command, InfoSec teams get the context and clarity of what is actually being exploited in the wild, the items that we know attackers will have in their sights. Understanding what is truly urgent and important transforms endless to-do lists into actionable hit lists that security leaders can more confidently socialize and articulate as potential business impact if these items are not actioned. Married with policy and vulnerability coverage across hybrid environments, unified reporting, and remediation, Exposure Command is your hub for next-generation risk management.
In the Command platform, detection and response are faster and more efficient with reduced noise and greater conviction around the right actions to take to extinguish threats. With our Threat Complete product, customers unlock the enriched context of exposure management alongside leading next-gen SIEM to stay ahead of attackers. The ability to pinpoint and correlate the events, activities, and alerts that actually matter and then know how to respond is the difference between getting breached or not. Whether you’re leveraging our cloud-first technology or partnering with our MDR SOC as an extension of your team, Rapid7 Detection & Response customers can be confident that they have the ecosystem coverage and context they need to respond like an expert every time.
Confidently Take On the Next Era of Security with Rapid7
While I’m extremley proud of the progress that has been made to date, I am even more excited about the journey and milestones that are still in front of us. Rapid7 is on a path to deliver 100% attack surface visibility and monitoring with the relevant context customers can rely on to stay ahead of adversaries. I’m so grateful to our customers and partners who have been the north star in guiding us on this mission, and I look forward to sharing more exciting updates soon.
