It takes an average of 204 days for organizations to discover a breach, and from there an average of 73 days to contain it. With the average cost of a breach at an all time high of $4.45 million, there’s an undeniable need for teams to enlist the right experts to quickly eradicate threats.
At Rapid7, our expert SOC analysts detect and respond to threats end-to-end for MDR customers – no matter how large or complex. Rapid7’s Active Response, powered by InsightConnect SOAR Automation, enables our analysts to contain endpoints and users on your behalf within minutes of when a threat is identified, reducing attacker dwell time and keeping your organization safe from the damaging consequences of an attack.
24x7 Immediate Containment of Validated Threats with Active Response
Initially launched in 2020, we’ve now expanded Active Response to include broader asset quarantine support across third-party providers — including Crowdstrike, SentinelOne, Carbon Black Cloud, and more — as well as more transparency into MDR analyst activity to bring you more expansive, collaborative detection and response. What you can expect with Active Response:
- Rapid7 MDR analysts will contain compromised endpoints or users as early in the killchain as possible to keep your organization safe from threats including malware, lateral movement, data exfiltration attempts, and more. We’ve also added a cloud-enabled option for actions to quarantine assets — removing the need for any on-prem components and making containment even faster for your organization.
- Our team takes action on your behalf when we see a validated threat, but you have control of the parameters with the ability to create containment guardrails to prohibit the containment of critical servers, users, or devices. You always have the option to unquarantine assets or users directly from InsightIDR, making it extremely straightforward and keeping the power in your hands.
- Rapid7’s coverage doesn’t stop there — with recommended additional actions for containment, remediation, and mitigation, our analysts ensure your organization is as secure as possible.

The following is a real-world example of a threat handled by our MDR analysts leveraging Active Response to quarantine an asset and stop malware.
Attacker Activity
- [USER 1] working on legal cases used Chrome browser to visit a legitimate website compromised by malicious embedded JavaScript functions.
- Embedded JavaScript file loaded pop-up, invited user to update browser by downloading ZIP archive containing JavaScript file.
- Once executed, Javascript file communicated with Command and Control (C2) to download and execute a malicious payload, to fingerprint the asset, user, cached password, domains controllers, and trusted domains and output the results to a file at the root of [USER 1]’s %temp% directory to stage the host for subsequent exploitation.
Build Resilience While You Sleep
Active Response enables teams to immediately quarantine malicious behavior before it can compromise a system, saving teams from the damaging outcomes of a successful security breach as well as costly ransomware, loss of data, and broken customer trust.
Whether it’s an intrusion attempt, suspicious process start activity, or anything in between, Rapid7’s SOC has their eyes on your environment 24x7x365, halting suspicious activity in its tracks so you can sleep peacefully through the night.
