Rapid7 is introducing InsightConnect, a security orchestration and automation solution that helps security teams reduce manual workloads, create efficiency without sacrificing control, and work more effectively with IT and development teams.

 

Rapid7 also announced today that its vulnerability management (InsightVM) and incident detection and response (InsightIDR) solutions will include pre-built automation functionality for the most common use cases so that customers can begin benefitting immediately. From within those solutions, customers can implement orchestration and automation processes for threat containment, vulnerability remediation, case management, and more.

 

Automate to Accelerate

As security teams continue to evolve, adapt, and innovate at a rapid rate, the struggle to balance increasing workloads with limited resources, complex ecosystems, and rising threats has never been greater.  Orchestration and automation help these teams improve their security posture and create efficiency without sacrificing control of important security and IT processes.

 

"Technology is being deployed faster than organizations can secure it, and that has placed an enormous burden on security teams that are often understaffed and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of manual work that needs to get done," said Lee Weiner, chief product officer, Rapid7. "We believe orchestration and automation capabilities are vital for these teams, allowing them to be more strategic and effective as they collaborate with IT and Development to secure their environments."

 

"Today's security, IT and development teams are inundated with issues that need timely responses," says Eric Ogren, senior analyst at 451 Research. "The automation and orchestration capabilities of Rapid7's InsightConnect enable overtaxed technical teams to take a more strategic approach to security management by automating tasks as appropriate, but ensuring that human intelligence is always in control."
