Rapid7 Nexpose Vulnerability Management Solution Integrates with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and McAfee Data Exchange Layer
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Rapid7 and Intel Security joint solutions provide comprehensive visibility to
endpoints, reduce risk, and align IT and security teams
BOSTON, Nov. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ:RPD), a leading
provider of security data and analytics solutions and member of the Intel
Security Innovation Alliance(TM) partner program, today announced that its live
vulnerability management solution, Nexpose, is fully integrated and compatible
with McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) and McAfee Data Exchange Layer (DXL). By
integrating Nexpose to both McAfee ePO and McAfee DXL, mutual customers will now
have always-on vulnerability management, visibility into their endpoints and
entire IT environments, and the ability to prioritize remediation to maximize
impact. The integrations will help organizations break down communication
barriers between IT and security teams to collaboratively reduce the risk of a
breach.
Through Nexpose integrations with both McAfee ePO and McAfee DXL, mutual
customers will have extended visibility into each asset on their network,
increasing the ability to manage risk with automated response to threats
including malicious file infections. Nexpose provides live vulnerability
monitoring, allowing customers to automatically collect data and analyze network
exposure as it changes. Using this data, Nexpose prioritizes risk based on
customer environments and attacker behavior, and then streamlines remediation by
aligning IT and security workflows.
"We are committed to delivering solutions that make it easy for customers to
understand their exposure in real-time, so they can respond at the moment of
impact - this integration demonstrates continued execution of that goal," said
Lee Weiner, chief product officer at Rapid7. "Our integration with McAfee
products is helping to reduce the burden on already-stretched IT and security
teams by automating the data collection and correlation process and giving them
a better, continuous view of their entire IT environment all the way to the
endpoint."
Through bidirectional integration, Nexpose vulnerability data is sent to McAfee
ePO and McAfee DXL, while asset and threat intelligence data is added to Nexpose
from McAfee ePO and McAfee DXL. In addition, Rapid7's attacker mindset, powered
by Metasploit, provides customers with the context they need to drive
remediation based on real-world threats.
Nexpose and McAfee ePO users will now have extended visibility into their attack
surface, including their endpoints, and have the ability to streamline
processes, improve reporting, and increase alignment with their IT teams.
Additionally, live vulnerability information is delivered in a language and
format that is already in use; vulnerability information and risk scores are
incorporated into the McAfee ePO dataset, and layers in context with the rest of
customers' McAfee ePO data.
Organizations that use Nexpose and McAfee DXL will be able to leverage the
underlying communications technology and framework that connects products across
vendors. This framework connects multivendor security products and enables them
to exchange information, and it lets customers' security tools work more
effectively. Joint customers will see malicious file infections and new
vulnerabilities as they are discovered across the ecosystem.
"Intel Security has a strong legacy of building innovative solutions, and the
Intel Security Innovation Alliance has opened up a tremendous opportunity for
vendors to build on that history. Meaningful integrations are critical to the
evolution of our industry, helping IT and security professionals do their jobs
effectively and increasing organizational alignment - they're what allows us, as
a community, to move forward," said Weiner.
