Celebrating Excellence: Alex Page Recognized As a CRN 2024 Channel Chief

Congratulations to Rapid7’s Vice President of Global Channel Sales, Alex Page, who is named among the newly-announced CRN 2024 Channel Chiefs!

Alex, who also received this prestigious accolade in 2023, has been recognized for his outstanding contributions and expertise in driving strategic initiatives and shaping the channel agenda for both Rapid7 and the wider partner community.

The Channel Chiefs list, released annually by CRN, showcases the top leaders throughout the IT channel ecosystem who work tirelessly to ensure mutual success with their partners and customers.

“These channel evangelists are dedicated to supporting solution providers and achieving growth by implementing robust partner programs and unique business strategies,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, US Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company.

“Their efforts are instrumental in helping partners bring essential solutions to market. The Channel Company is pleased to acknowledge these prominent channel leaders and looks forward to chronicling their achievements throughout the year.”

Under Alex’s leadership, Rapid7 has matured its channel approach to create a win-win-win scenario for all parties — most importantly, the end customer. This includes an obsessive focus on “being easy to do business with” for both partners and customers, and empowering our partners to participate in the full customer journey with us.

In Alex’s words: “Focus matters. You cannot try to be all things to all people, in general – but this very much applies to the channel. Find the partners who best fit your goals as a company, and can help make your customers most successful, and go deep with a small group of them. Your focus will drive more results. Your focus will also be very much felt and appreciated by the partner.”

We are proud to have Alex leading the charge, and of this recognition, which reinforces Rapid7’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and strong partnerships.

Rapid7 Takes 2023 SC Awards for Vulnerability Management and Threat Detection

Post Syndicated from Rapid7 original https://blog.rapid7.com/2023/08/22/rapid7-takes-2023-sc-awards-for-vulnerability-management-and-threat-detection/

Rapid7 Takes 2023 SC Awards for Vulnerability Management and Threat Detection

The highly respected SC Awards program, hosted by SC Media, recognizes the solutions, organizations, and people driving innovation and success in information security. Now in its 26th year, the SC Awards continue to grow and evolve.

Rapid7 is proud to announce we have received not one, but two prestigious SC Awards this year! InsightVM is the 2023 SC Award recipient for Best Vulnerability Management Solution and InsightIDR received the award in the brand new Best Threat Detection Technology category.

This year, SC’s panel of independent industry leaders, from sectors including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, consulting, and education sorted through a record number of entries. Additionally, SC added several new award categories and several modified categories to the competition.

Why InsightVM was selected

InsightVM is a vulnerability management tool that provides visibility into an organization’s security program, enabling security teams to reduce attack surface and security risk. The tool helps manage and mature vulnerability management programs by identifying vulnerabilities, prioritizing remediation efforts, and tracking progress against key metrics.

SC Media says InsightVM was selected for its ability to support the entire vulnerability management lifecycle and enabling security teams to manage their program more effectively. SC also noted the solution’s integration with Project Sonar for external-facing asset and threat exposure monitoring, as well as its robust tagging system to prioritize critical assets for remediation. Finally, they noted that live dashboards, Remediation Projects, and Goals and SLAs ease collaboration with stakeholders.

InsightVM was designed to provide a shared view and common language needed to collaborate with traditionally siloed teams and drive impactful remediation. As a result, easy collaboration stands out to customers as well.

“We’ve got at least five different teams that have responsibility for their own systems,” said Nick Defoe, Director of Information Security, US Signal. “Using the dashboard interface, we’ve been able to build out the reporting for each individual team. Getting these disparate groups all into one platform where they can see what they need to do for vulnerability management has been critical to our success.”

Why InsightIDR was selected

InsightIDR, Rapid7’s cloud-native XDR and next-gen SIEM, offers unified and transformed security data to detect real attacks and provide high-context insights to stop threats early in the attack chain.

According to SC Media, InsightIDR was selected because it empowers teams to deliver sophisticated detection and response outcomes with greater efficiency and efficacy, wherever they are in their security journey. This tracks with customers, as well.

In a recent Techvalidate survey, 92% of Rapid7 customers reported that InsightIDR creates efficiency and scale, and it offers savings that make it an accessible and robust solution for diverse industries and teams.

“When I put Rapid7 in place my response time went from three to four hours to ten to fifteen minutes,” said Kerry LeBlanc, IT Security Engineer, Bioventus. “I see what it is and how to remediate it. Everything is right there. I can query the endpoint or get information and pull up different things on the user.”

SC also noted InsightIDR’s “complete visibility, coverage, superior signal-to-noise, and smarter responses.” InsightIDR provides this complete visibility and coverage with a native endpoint agent, network sensors, collectors and APIs. Lightweight, software-based collection technology and integrations go beyond unifying data to correlate, attribute, and enrich diverse datasets into a single, harmonious picture — unlocking efficiency to give teams time back, ensure that they find real threats faster, and that they can respond quickly and completely.

Rapid7 offers free trials of both InsightVM and InsightIDR.

Post Syndicated from Rapid7 original https://blog.rapid7.com/2022/07/01/rapid7-belfast-recognized-for-company-connection-during-covid-19-pandemic/

Rapid7 Belfast Recognized for “Company Connection” During COVID-19 Pandemic

Irish News has recognized Rapid7 in its Workplace and Employment Awards, where we’ve taken home the trophy for Best Company Connection. Reflecting on the past two years, this award recognizes the organization that best demonstrates how it has adapted its workplace well-being strategy to the challenges of remote working influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this includes how the company has remained committed to providing excellent support to its staff throughout, and maintaining contact and connection with workers during periods of uncertainty and isolation.

Rapid7 Belfast Recognized for “Company Connection” During COVID-19 Pandemic

Rapid7 has been part of Belfast’s booming technology scene since 2014 and is home to a growing team of engineers, developers, and customer advisors. From 2020 to 2022, the office population nearly doubled in size to support the increasing demand from customers around the world for streamlined and accessible cybersecurity solutions. Maintaining Rapid7’s commitment to the core values of “Be an Advocate,” “Never Done,” “Impact Together,” “Challenge Convention,” and “Bring You” was a critical focal point for our local leadership as they scaled their teams in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic.

The judges were very impressed by Rapid7’s holistic response to this new way of working, and how the company recognised the importance of maintaining contact, culture, and connection during such unprecedented times. Programs that stood out included leadership engagement through weekly Town Halls, engagement with mental well-being experts, and several grassroots community initiatives, including an Academy group designed to support parents in homeschooling their children.

Rapid7 Belfast Recognized for “Company Connection” During COVID-19 Pandemic

In addition to taking home the winning title, Rapid7 was also recognised as a finalist in two other categories this year: Best People Development Programme and Best Place to Work. Rapid7’s global commitment to its employees has been recognized in other recent designations, including the #1 spot on the Boston Business Journal Best Places to Work list in June and landing at #2 on Comparably’s list of Best Workplaces in Boston in March. Expanding our winning track record into the United Kingdom speaks to how we support employees in creating the career experience of a lifetime while positively impacting our customers and the greater cybersecurity community.

Two Rapid7 Solutions Take Top Honors at SC Awards Europe

Post Syndicated from Rapid7 original https://blog.rapid7.com/2022/06/23/two-rapid7-solutions-take-top-honors-at-sc-awards-europe/

Two Rapid7 Solutions Take Top Honors at SC Awards Europe

LONDON—We are pleased to announce that two Rapid7 solutions were recognized on Tuesday, June 21, at the prestigious SC Awards Europe, which were presented at the London Marriott, Grosvenor Square. InsightIDR took the top spot in the Best SIEM Solution category, and Threat Command brought home the award for Best Threat Intelligence Technology for the second year in a row.

The SC Awards Europe recognize and reward products and services that stand out from the crowd and exceed customer expectations. This year’s awards, which come at a time of rapid digital transformation and technology innovation, were assessed by a panel of highly experienced judges from a variety of industries. SC Media UK, which hosts the awards, is a leading information resource for cybersecurity professionals across Europe.

InsightIDR named “Best SIEM”

Security practitioners are using Rapid7 InsightIDR to address the challenges most everyone shares: Digital transformation is driving constant change, the attack surface continues to sprawl, and the skills gap drags on.

Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) solutions put the burden of heavy rule configuration, detection telemetry integration, dashboard and reporting content curation, and incident response on the customer. But industry-leading InsightIDR has always been different. It ties together disparate data from across a customer’s environment, including user activity, logs, cloud, endpoints, network traffic, and more into one place, ending tab-hopping and multi-tasking. Security teams get curated out-of-the box detections, high-context actionable insights, and built-in automation.

With easy SaaS deployment and lightning fast time-to-value, 72% of users report greatly improved team efficiency, 71% report accelerated detection of compromised assets, and most report reducing time to address an incident by 25-50%.  

Threat Command named “Best Threat Intelligence Technology”

Rapid7 Threat Command is an external threat protection solution that proactively monitors thousands of sources across the clear, deep, and dark web. It enables security practitioners to anticipate threats, mitigate business risk, increase efficiency, and make informed decisions.

Threat Command delivers industry-leading AI/ML threat intelligence technology along with expert human intelligence analysis to continuously discover threats and map intelligence to organizations’ digital assets and vulnerabilities. This includes:

  • Patented technology and techniques for the detection, removal, and/or blocking of malicious threats
  • Dark web monitoring from analysts with unique access to invitation-only hacker forums and criminal marketplaces
  • The industry’s only 24/7/365 intelligence support from experts for deeper investigation into critical alerts
  • Single-click remediation including takedowns, facilitated by our in-house team of experts

100% of Threat Command users surveyed said the tool delivered faster time to value than other threat intelligence solutions they’d used, and 85% said adopting Threat Command improved their detection and response capabilities.

InsightIDR + Threat Command

Using InsightIDR and Threat Command together can further increase security teams’ efficiency and reduce risk. Users get a 360-degree view of internal and external threats, enabling them to avert attacks, accelerate investigations with comprehensive threat context, and flag the most relevant information — minimizing the time it takes to respond. With InsightIDR and Threat Command, customers are able to more effectively and efficiently see relevant threat data across their attack surface and quickly pivot to take immediate action – in the earliest stages of attack, even before a threat has fully evolved.

Rapid7 Named a Visionary in 2022 Magic Quadrant™ for Application Security Testing Second Year in a Row

Post Syndicated from Bria Grangard original https://blog.rapid7.com/2022/04/21/rapid7-named-a-visionary-in-2022-magic-quadrant-for-application-security-testing-second-year-in-a-row/

Rapid7 Named a Visionary in 2022 Magic Quadrant™ for Application Security Testing Second Year in a Row

For the second year in a row, Rapid7 has been named a Visionary in the Gartner® 2022 Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing. We believe we accomplished this by combining an industry-leading dynamic application security testing (DAST) solution with container and cloud security, security across the software development life cycle (SDLC), strategic partnerships, and a customer-centric approach that anticipates the needs of not just security teams but DevOps teams as well. All in a package that is easy to utilize and highly accurate.

We are proud of the approach we have taken to keeping applications and APIs safe and secure. We recognized early that while DAST is the bedrock of a strong application security program, it works best when combined with the core capabilities we have built into our platform that allow for teams across the company to work together, rather than be siloed and inefficient.

Workflows that actually work for your business

We offer support for developer stakeholders across the SDLC (pre- and post-production), actively moving left in the lifecycle, and ensuring that applications and APIs are secure throughout the development process. This means teams can work cross-functionally, saving time and resulting in stronger security protections baked into the applications themselves. Our Attack Replay feature allows developers to confirm a vulnerability on their own, without the need to run a scan, making it even easier to find and remediate risks at any point in the process.

“The product provides our developers with actionable solutions to security risks that was missed during development.”

– Infosec analyst via Gartner Peer Insights

A full-picture view of your environment

At Rapid7, we are very proud of our history of innovative, modern, and forward-thinking vulnerability management solutions. However, it takes more than that to secure modern web applications. InsightAppSec integrates with the Insight platform, giving you a full view of your production environment. We have made a series of strategic investments and partnerships to expand the level and competency of our Insight platform, including those with Snyk and Checkmarx, which ensure that InsightAppSec is prepared to cover every level of your attack surface from every angle.

Our focus on cloud-native applications, in particular, means we have the tools to protect the most cutting-edge applications and to help those transitioning into the cloud — all with the ease and confidence that comes from our customer-centric approach to application security.

“In my opinion InsightAppSec approaches DAST the optimal way, with a cloud-based interface and the ability to spin up on-premises engines to perform scans. This means we’re not responsible for software updates, and the on-premises engines have an auto-update functionality that make them very low maintenance.”

– Sr. Software Security Engineer, IT Services via Gartner Peer Insights

World-class DAST

At the heart of our capabilities is our world-class DAST. It’s powerful, it’s accurate, it’s streamlined, and it’s cloud-based. This allows for security teams to spin up scans quickly and easily. We frequently hear from customers that we provide the most reliable results. Our Universal Translator allows coverage and attacks to be developed in parallel and released to customers as they are available, and it lets users perform security testing for traditional applications and modern applications.

“Our experience with Rapid7 products has always been positive. InsightAppSec is a great solution for DAST scanning of web apps and API. It gives great results even in unauthenticated scans and has a great UI.”

– Cybersecurity Architect, Banking Industry via Gartner Peer Insights

We are truly excited to be recognized as a Visionary in the latest Magic Quadrant, but we’re more excited for the many plans we have to improve and grow our AppSec offerings. We have always sought to redefine what modern application security looks like and are grateful to our customers and partners for taking this exciting journey with us.

Rapid7 Recognized as Top Ranked in Current Offering Category in Forrester Wave™ for Cloud Workload Security

Post Syndicated from Ben Austin original https://blog.rapid7.com/2022/03/23/rapid7-recognized-as-top-ranked-in-current-offering-category-in-forrester-wave-for-cloud-workload-security/

Rapid7 Recognized as Top Ranked in Current Offering Category in Forrester Wave™ for Cloud Workload Security

The widespread growth in cloud adoption in recent years has given businesses across all industries the ability to transform and scale in ways never before possible. But the speed of those changes, combined with the increased volume and complexity of resources in cloud environments, often forces organizations to choose between slowing the pace of innovation or taking on massive amounts of unmanaged risk.

Because of this, cloud misconfigurations have become a leading attack vector for malicious breaches. Organizations are now scrambling to evolve their cloud security programs to properly secure their most sensitive and valuable data — before it falls into the hands of an adversary.

This requires going beyond the siloed toolsets and manual efforts of increasingly hard-to-find cloud security professionals. Instead, businesses need to leverage comprehensive cloud workload security solutions that allow their teams to get a broad set of capabilities in a single platform in order to move more efficiently and effectively.

But in the still-emerging and rapidly evolving cloud security space, narrowing down a shortlist of vendors can be challenging and confusing.

To help buyers select the right vendor for their needs among the industry’s many players, Forrester Research evaluated the top 12 cloud security providers to equip evaluators with necessary context on each provider’s current offering and strategy. We’re excited to share that Rapid7 has been included among these top vendors and recognized as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave™: Cloud Workload Security, Q1 2022.

Most notably, Forrester’s report showed Rapid7 as the top-ranked solution in the Current Offering category.

This is the first time the Forrester Wave™ for Cloud Workload Security has been published since Rapid7’s acquisition of DivvyCloud and Alcide, which culminated in the launch of InsightCloudSec in July 2021. We believe the results of this Forrester Wave™ show that Rapid7’s strategy and execution following those acquisitions has already positioned us well against other vendors in the highly competitive cloud security market.

A closer look at the results

“In its current CWS offering, the vendor provides excellent setup, configuration, and data integration solution features; identity and access management and CSPM is strong. Runtime and container orchestration platform protection is also strong and easy to use.”

The Forrester report gave Rapid7 the highest possible scores in the criteria of cloud security posture management (CSPM), infrastructure as code (IaC), identity and access management (IAM), and container protection, which to us emphasizes the breadth and depth of our current solution in both posture management and workload protection.

Rapid7 also received the highest possible score in the Setup, Configuration, and Data Integration criterion. When combined with the highest possible score in the Integration category, we believe this leads to faster time to value and more efficient ongoing cloud security operations compared to other vendors.

Within the Strategy category, Forrester gave Rapid7 the highest possible scores in the Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) Plans and Container Protection Plans criteria. According to the report, “In its CWS strategy, [Rapid7] has differentiated CWP and container protection plans.”

“The vendor plans to implement runtime analysis using machine learning (ML) to establish a baseline profile of activity and identify anomalous behaviors and unknown threats, simplifying runtime rules and detections,“ the report explains.

From our standpoint, this combination of current market-leading CSPM and shift-left capabilities, alongside a highly differentiated CWP and Container Protection roadmap, is evidence of the significant value Rapid7 is bringing to our customers by enabling organizations to innovate and accelerate their business strategies with secure adoption of cloud technologies.

Rapid7 MDR Named a Market Leader, Again!

Post Syndicated from Jake Godgart original https://blog.rapid7.com/2021/08/23/rapid7-mdr-named-a-market-leader-again/

Rapid7 MDR Named a Market Leader, Again!

New IDC MarketScape Names Rapid7 a Leader in U.S. Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

It’s a big year to be named a Leader.

Time magazine said the pandemic produced “the world’s largest work-from-home experiment.” Suddenly, everyone was accessing everything from everywhere. Control moved outside security’s four walls. More stuff moved to the cloud. And CEOs started wondering who’d be on the nightly news next explaining why they paid millions to EvilCorp hackers.

So this year, especially, Rapid7 is thrilled to be recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Managed Detection and Response 2021 Vendor Assessment, (Doc #US48129921, August 2021).

Rapid7 MDR Named a Market Leader, Again!

This IDC MarketScape report shows an unbiased look at 15 MDR players in the U.S. market, evaluating each on capabilities. We feel this recognition reflects Rapid7’s mission to help our customers close the security achievement gap — because every company, regardless of their security team’s size, deserves a level playing field against attackers. Clearly we’re on the right path.

This recognition follows a slew of other accolades for Rapid7’s Detection and Response portfolio. In the last few months, Forrester Research recognized Rapid7 as a “Leader” (Mid-size MSSP Wave, Q3 2020) and “Strong Performer” (MDR Wave, Q1 2021). And Gartner recognized the underlying technology of the MDR service — InsightIDR — as a “Leader” for the third year in a row (SIEM Magic Quadrant, Q2 2021).

Why is this so important?

Nowadays, the MDR market is so noisy that all vendors can sound the same. When market reports like this are published, it proves there’s a difference between MDR providers and offerings delivering security outcomes versus promises.

Today, Rapid7 MDR security experts use our XDR technology to provide constant coverage across our customer’s modern environment — endpoints, users, network, and the cloud. Attackers can change their tactics, but Rapid7’s threat engine still lets us stay a step ahead.

IDC analysts like that Rapid7 MDR “applies proprietary threat intelligence and knowledge from the Metasploit and Velociraptor open-source communities.” This proprietary, community-infused threat intelligence, combined with our recent IntSights acquisition, will evolve our service with even more accurate detections across both internal and external attack surfaces. Attackers have nowhere to hide.

And unlike other MDR and MSSP services that rely on security generalists to simply manage technology and triage alerts, Rapid7’s expert specialists take the lead on threat detection, validation, and how to respond.

Your team can stop threats earlier and respond faster. You can have the confidence that your environment is monitored 24×7. And you’ll have time to focus on what matters most (even if some days it’s just getting around to taking lunch).

Teams love Rapid7 MDR, and here’s why. We help you:

  • Build your cyber resilience: You can detect threats with confidence. Our team delivers the answers needed to find and stop attacks, not just deliver alerts. And we’ll partner with your team to strengthen your security program.
  • Enable you to scale with SecOps experts: 24×7 is table stakes now. But having continuous coverage by breach response analysts isn’t. Customers can collaborate with Rapid7 security advisors and get the incident response help needed if (or when) it’s needed most.
  • Provide full transparency into operations: You see what we see with full access to the technology our analysts use. Learn from our experts and community. Then prove out the ROI with comprehensive reporting that even your CFO would appreciate.
  • Catch attackers with 24×7 XDR technology: Unify and transform relevant security data from across endpoints, users, network traffic, and the cloud to detect and respond to attackers wherever they are.
  • Achieve a rapid time-to-value: Jumpstart detection and response from day one. We’ll provide you with the guidance and advice to move from risk to remediation and strengthen your cyber resilience.

Once Again, Rapid7 Named a Leader in 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM

Post Syndicated from Meaghan Donlon original https://blog.rapid7.com/2021/07/06/once-again-rapid7-named-a-leader-in-2021-gartner-magic-quadrant-for-siem/

Rapid7 is elated for InsightIDR to be recognized as a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM).

Once Again, Rapid7 Named a Leader in 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM

This is the second consecutive time our SaaS SIEM—InsightIDR—has been named a Leader in this report. Access the full complimentary report from us here.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant reports provide a matrix for evaluating technology vendors in a given space. The framework looks at vendors on two axes: completeness of vision and ability to execute. In the case of SIEM, “Gartner defines the security and information event management (SIEM) market by the customer’s need to analyze event data in real time for early detection of targeted attacks and data breaches, and to collect, store, investigate and report on log data for incident response, forensics and regulatory compliance.”

As the detection and response market becomes more competitive, and the demands and challenges of this space grow more complex, we are honored to be recognized as one of the 6 2021 Magic Quadrant Leaders named in this report. We believe we are recognized for our usability and customer experience, as these are areas we’ve invested heavily in and recognize as critical to the success of today’s detection and response programs.

"This Product has surpassed expectations" – Security Analyst, Energies and Utlities ★★★★★

Thank you

First and foremost, we want to thank our Rapid7 InsightIDR customers and partners for being on this journey with us. Your ongoing feedback, partnership, and trust have fueled our innovation and uncompromising commitment to delivering sophisticated security outcomes that are accessible to all.

Accelerated change escalates challenges around modern detection and response

The last year has brought a swell of change for many organizations, including rapid cloud adoption, increased use of web applications, a significant shift to remote working, and new threats brought on by attackers exploiting circumstances around the pandemic. While these challenges weren’t new, their increased urgency highlighted cracks in an already fragile security ecosystem:

  • Increased cybersecurity demands widened the already growing skills gap
  • Uptime trumped security, often leaving SecOps professionals scrambling to keep up
  • The combination of these stresses drove many teams to a breaking point with alert fatigue

These market dynamics prompted a lot of Security Operations Center (SOC) teams to reevaluate current processes and systems, and push for change.

Rapid7 InsightIDR helps teams focus on what matters most to drive effective threat detection and response across modern IT environments

Our approach to detection and response has always been directed by what we hear from customers. This includes industry engagement and insights gathered through Rapid7’s research and open source communities, our firsthand experience with Rapid7 MDR (Managed Detection and Response) and services engagements, and of course, direct customer feedback. These collective learnings have enabled us to deeply understand the challenges facing SOC teams today, and pushed us to develop innovative solutions to anticipate and address their needs.

Rapid7 InsightIDR is not another log-aggregation-focused SIEM that sits on the shelf, or one that leaves the difficult and tedious work for security analysts to figure out on their own. Rather, our focus has always been to provide immediate, actionable insights and alerts that teams can feel confident responding to so they can extinguish threats quickly. With Rapid7 InsightIDR, security analysts are no longer fighting just to keep up. They’re empowered to scale and transform their security programs, however and wherever their environments evolve.

We are thrilled about this recognition, but like everything in cybersecurity, what’s most exciting is what happens next. We are committed to continually raising the bar and making it easier for SOC teams to accelerate their detection and response programs, while removing the distractions and noise that get in the way. Thank you again to our customers and partners for joining this journey with us. And stay tuned for more updates ahead soon!

"InsightIDR is my favorite SIEM because the preloaded detections for attacker tactics and techniques. The threat community within the platform is always providing new detections for IOCs. The team is always pleasant to work with, and I love all the feature updates we received this year!" – Information Security Engineer ★★★★★
