Rapid7 Defines Next-Generation Analytics Platform for Security and IT Professionals
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Rapid7 Insight platform is the first cloud-based platform to combine
vulnerability management, user behavior analytics-powered SIEM, IT log
analytics, and application security data
* Evolved platform centralizes operational and security data from the network,
endpoints, and the cloud to unify data, accelerate analysis, and reduce cost
of ownership
* Rapid7 introduces two new solutions, on its platform: InsightVM, for live
vulnerability and endpoint analytics, and InsightAppSec, for live web
application security testing
BOSTON, April 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ:RPD), a leading
provider of analytics solutions for security and IT operations, today announced
the evolution of the Rapid7 Insight platform with the availability of two new
solutions: InsightVM, for vulnerability management, and InsightAppSec,
for application security testing. Processing more than 50 billion events and
monitoring millions of assets daily, the Insight platform is the first to unify
solutions for vulnerability management, user behavior analytics (UBA), SIEM, IT
log analytics, and application security.
The cloud-based platform makes it possible for security and IT professionals to
share data, research findings, and analytic-processing resources. The Rapid7
Insight platform significantly reduces the overall total cost of ownership
inherent with on-premise, analytics-driven solutions, and automatically scales
to meet the needs of users, helping to solve challenges presented by rapid data
growth for both security and IT.
"Unnecessary complexity is at the heart of many issues security and IT teams
face today. Rapid7's cloud-based, analytics-driven platform evolved because
security and IT professionals need intuitive solutions that quickly and easily
provide answers to reduce risk," said Lee Weiner, chief product officer at
Rapid7. "By creating a platform that enables multiple applications to share
data, research findings, and analytic processing, we're improving our customers'
experience, surfacing answers faster, and reducing ownership cost."
Rapid7's Insight platform is built on nearly two decades of active research, a
constantly expanding vulnerability and exploit database, Rapid7's Metasploit,
and learnings from thousands of penetration tests and the Company's threat
hunting team. This extensive, historical knowledge, combined with advanced
analytics - including user behavior and exposure analytics, deception
technologies, threat modeling, intelligence feeds, and machine learning - is
then applied to customer data from network scans, logs, and endpoints. The
Rapid7 Insight platform transforms this user data into answers by delivering
actionable guidance for vulnerability management, incident detection,
application security, and IT optimization.
"How many of us want more security stuff to install and manage?" asked Eric
Ogren, senior security analyst with 451 Research. "The concept of Rapid7's
Insight platform, making the entire product portfolio available as a cloud-based
service, is an interesting approach that promises to remove much of the
complexity involved in operating a state-of-the-art security program."
The Rapid7 Insight platform uses the same lightweight agent and data collectors
across all of its security and IT solutions to gather machine data across logs,
endpoint agents, and other sources. This simplified approach to data collection
allows users to leverage the same data, collected once, to solve multiple,
distinct challenges:
* Vulnerability management teams have greater visibility to better understand
the risk posed to their environment, and the most impactful remediations;
* Incident responders are able to detect and respond to incidents in real
time;
* IT operations teams are able to drive productivity, maintain uptime, and
quickly resolve potential issues; and
* Application security teams are able to investigate vulnerabilities earlier
in the development lifecycle.
Introducing Rapid7 InsightVM: advanced vulnerability management analytics and
reporting
InsightVM builds on Rapid7's award-winning, vulnerability management solution,
Nexpose, now fully leveraging the power of the cloud to provide live answers to
security professionals' most critical questions. InsightVM's live monitoring
gathers continuous data, whether via agents or agentless, to provide security
professionals with increased visibility into the risk posed by their entire
network footprint, including cloud, virtual, and endpoints.
"Rapid7's vulnerability management solution is the only technology I've ever
used that gives me a full, actionable view of my environment, all the way to the
endpoint," said Scott Cheney, manager of information security at Sierra View
Medical Center. "With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the
assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in
order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us
that kind of value and insight."
InsightVM is designed to provide a fully available, scalable, and efficient way
to collect vulnerability data and minimize risk. InsightVM automatically
evaluates changes in users' networks the moment they happen, allowing security
professionals to better understand and quickly manage the risk posed to their
organization.
Additionally, InsightVM now includes:
* Rapid7 Insight Agent: This lightweight agent gives customers visibility all
the way to the endpoint while prioritizing only the most important issues
based on Rapid7's high-fidelity RealRisk score.
* Remediation Workflow: Allows security professionals to build custom filters
for remediation tasks, automatically assign issues to the right people,
integrate with existing ticketing solutions, and monitor to completion.
* InsightVM Liveboards: Designed to show management teams their most critical
risks, and provide the deep intelligence to improve productivity by taking
the guesswork out of identifying security trends and priorities.
InsightVM is available now. For information on subscription pricing, please

Coming soon, Rapid7 InsightAppSec: cloud-powered analysis for application
security
InsightAppSec, currently in beta, is designed to provide security professionals
with an unmatched ability to assess modern web applications, while keeping pace
with the industry's newest applications. Enabled by the Rapid7 Insight platform,
InsightAppSec streamlines results to provide more comprehensive visibility,
instantaneously. With a focus on ease of use, InsightAppSec will feature simpler
scan creation, tuning, and scheduling.
The solution, which advances the capabilities of Rapid7's AppSpider, will
feature a sophisticated new workflow designed to provide more data and increased
visibility into applications. InsightAppSec has a universal translator that
automatically interprets the new technologies being used in today's web and
mobile applications.

The Power of Insight: Rapid7 InsightIDR and Rapid7 InsightOps
InsightIDR arms security professionals with the answers they need to quickly
respond to and remediate security incidents. InsightIDR combines user behavior
analytics (UBA) with pre-built detections and intruder traps, enabling security
professionals to better detect the top attack vectors behind breaches -
compromised credentials, malware, and phishing - earlier in the attack chain and
from endpoint to cloud.
The solution, which launched in February 2016, has added complimentary threat
intelligence, developed through extensive attacker and systems research,
industry collaboration, and insights from Rapid7's managed detection and
response (MDR) team. This intelligence improves and adds to existing advanced
detection and enables incident responders to be more effective through
meaningful alerts, tailored to their environment. In addition, InsightIDR now
has enhanced endpoint threat detection to better identify remote code execution
and protocol poisoning attacks, along with memory forensics for deeper
investigative analysis.
Also built on the Rapid7 Insight platform, InsightOps - announced in November
2016 - gives IT professionals the ability to answer operational questions. Now
available in open beta, InsightOps, takes a modern approach to log management
and asset interrogation. The solution reduces time spent writing search queries
with out-of-the-box visualizations and pre-defined questions that IT
professionals can ask of their IT infrastructure for immediate answers.
