What is Rapid7?
Rapid7 is a security vendor with products for vulnerability management, application testing and detection and response. InsightVM provides vulnerability assessment capabilities; Rapid7 now presents that technology as part of Exposure Command.

Key capabilities
- Exposure management: Inventory and prioritize findings through the relevant Rapid7 exposure product.
- Application testing: Assess web applications with InsightAppSec where that is the required use case.
- Detection and investigation: Use InsightIDR for security event investigation when separately in scope.
Vulnerability scanning, exposure prioritization, application security testing and incident investigation are separate capabilities in the portfolio.
Consider Rapid7 when remediation owners need context on exposed assets and a path from findings to action. Scope the assessment around asset coverage, scan credentials and the team that will close tickets.
A useful pilot imports representative assets and traces one finding from detection through ownership and remediation; it should also confirm licensing for each required workflow.
