The Rapid7 Difference
The Rapid7 Insight Platform
Rapid7 delivers integrated security operations through a unified platform combining detection and response, vulnerability management, and external threat intelligence.
R7 InsightIDR
Rapid7 InsightIDR combines SIEM, XDR, and user behaviour analytics into a single platform for rapid threat detection and investigation. The platform ingests logs from endpoints, networks, cloud services, and applications, applying behaviour analytics to identify anomalous activity.
InsightIDR’s attacker behaviour analytics focus on lateral movement, credential abuse, and persistence mechanisms commonly observed in real-world breaches. This reduces alert noise whilst highlighting high-fidelity threats requiring investigation.
For Australian deployments, InsightIDR supports data residency requirements through regional data centres, ensuring sensitive log data remains within Australian jurisdiction—critical for APRA CPS 234, Privacy Act obligations, and government security frameworks.
R7 InsightVM
Rapid7 InsightVM provides continuous vulnerability assessment across hybrid environments, prioritising remediation based on asset criticality, exploit availability, and environmental context. The platform discovers assets automatically and integrates with IT service management systems to streamline remediation workflows.
InsightVM’s risk scoring incorporates threat intelligence and asset importance beyond basic CVSS metrics, helping security teams focus on vulnerabilities that pose genuine business risk.
Integration with Essential Eight Compliance Services is particularly valuable. InsightVM provides evidence for Maturity Level assessments across patch management controls, demonstrating systematic vulnerability management required for higher maturity levels.
R7 Threat Command
Rapid7 Threat Command monitors external threats including dark web credential exposure, brand impersonation, phishing infrastructure, and third-party breaches. The platform provides early warning of attacks in development, enabling proactive response before threats reach production environments.
Threat Command integrates with InsightIDR to enrich alerts with external context. When InsightIDR detects suspicious authentication, Threat Command confirms whether compromised credentials for that domain have appeared on dark web marketplaces, providing immediate investigation context.
