Rapid7 is on a mission to create a safer digital world by making cybersecurity simpler and more accessible.

We empower security professionals to manage a modern attack surface through our best-in-class technology, leading-edge research, and broad, strategic expertise.

Our comprehensive security solutions help our customers unite cloud risk management and threat detection to reduce attack surfaces and eliminate threats with speed and precision.

In the over 20 years that Rapid7 has been in business, security companies and trends have come and gone, while broader technology innovation continues to advance rapidly.

Every company is now a technology company, and rampant innovation inevitably creates security risk.

The migration of businesses to the cloud, more distributed workforces, and ubiquitous connected devices present security teams with an increasingly complex, ever-changing, and unpredictable attack surface.

We believe as cybersecurity challenges continue to rise exponentially, two key factors can prevent organizations from effectively managing their growing security exposure.

First, the tools to manage complex security problems are often equally complicated to use.

Second, there is a scarcity of cybersecurity professionals who are qualified to successfully manage these sophisticated tools.

These two factors compound the difficulties that resource-constrained organizations face when attempting to minimize their security exposure, meet security compliance regulations, and provide visibility to their leadership.

We call the expanding divide between risk created through innovation and risk effectively managed by security teams the security achievement gap.

We believe Rapid7 is uniquely positioned to improve how security challenges are addressed.

Our solutions and services are built with and supported by the expertise of our dedicated team of security researchers, expert SOC analysts and consultants, who bring knowledge of attacker behavior and emerging vulnerabilities directly to customers.

We also continue to invest in further simplifying our technology to improve usability, lowering the barrier for teams and organizations who lack resources to manage their security posture.

While our security technology is the foundation of our mission to make successful security accessible to all, technology alone will not solve today’s cybersecurity challenges.

Our ongoing commitment to researching and partnering with the technology community helps to curb new security risks born through innovation.

We are also investing in under-served, at risk communities, like non-profits and hospitals, to better understand their needs and make security technology and services accessible.

By continuously improving our technology, stemming the creation of risk in the community, and making security more usable and accessible, Rapid7 aims to close the security achievement gap.

Rapid7 is a global cybersecurity software and services provider on a mission to offer customers greater clarity and control of their attack surface through our comprehensive and consolidated security offerings.

For more than twenty years, Rapid7 has partnered with customers across the globe representing a diverse range of industries and sizes to improve the efficacy and productivity of their security operations (“SecOps”).

In today's rapidly evolving IT environment, customers are encountering escalating challenges due to the widening spectrum of attackers and techniques, including the proliferation of cyberattacks leveraging artificial intelligence (“AI”) and targeted automation.

To fortify their security posture, organizations will require greater visibility, advanced capabilities leveraging increased expertise, and integrated data to effectively anticipate, identify, and respond to threats.

Through our security operations platform, anchored on our cloud security, security information and event management (“SIEM”), advanced detection and response, and vulnerability management offerings, we believe that Rapid7 is poised to expand the capabilities of today's SecOps teams.

Rapid7 extends and expands the expertise of the Security Operations Center (“SOC") across information security, cloud operations, development, and IT teams, enabling them to better understand the attacker and leverage that information to take control of their fragmented attack surface.

Enriched by years of managed services expertise, our integrated security operations platform enables SecOps teams to move away from a reactive approach, reduce their attack surface, and enhance response efficiency with a deep contextual understanding of their environment.

In the past few years, we have observed the industry undergoing a customer-driven shift to consolidated security platforms.

As part of this transition, customers are moving away from cloud security as a specialized function towards cloud security as an integrated capability for SecOps teams.

We view this as a demand driver for integrated SecOps, and believe that we have an opportunity to be a leader in delivering integrated risk and threat management across on-premise, cloud, and external attack surfaces.

As we have shifted our strategic focus to SecOps consolidation, we are focused on continuing to drive innovation across our core products and capabilities to accelerate customer value and provide a frictionless and integrated cloud security experience.

As the threat landscape continues to grow in complexity, customers are demonstrating demand for integrated expertise to support them in effectively managing their security technologies.

The convergence of these key trends – security consolidation, integrated cloud security, and expertise driven outcomes – are the foundation of what we view as the new extended SOC.

Our focus is to be the leading provider of integrated security solutions for the extended SOC by providing risk and threat management within the context of overall security.

As of December 31, 2023, we had more than 11,500 customers that rely on Rapid7 technology, services, and research to improve security outcomes and securely advance their organizations.

Our cloud-native Insight Platform is at the core of our product offerings.

The platform was built using our extensive experience in collecting and analyzing data to enable our customers to create and manage analytics-driven cybersecurity risk management programs.

By utilizing our powerful, proprietary analytics to assess and understand the context and relationships around users, IT assets and cyber threats within a customer’s environment, our solutions make it easier for teams to identify and remediate vulnerabilities, monitor for misconfigurations and malicious behavior, investigate and shutdown attacks, and automate operations.

Our Insight Platform provides a high level of scalability.

We leverage cloud technologies to achieve a scalable delivery model with a high degree of redundancy, fault tolerance, and cost-effectiveness.

We also designed our Insight Platform to provide a secure environment for our customers' data.

We deploy a variety of technologies and practices that are designed to help ensure that the data collected from a customer’s environment remains proprietary, secure and operational.

Insight Platform's Features:

The Insight Platform allows security professionals to collect data once across their IT environment, enabling Security, IT, and development operations (“DevOps”) teams to collaborate effectively as they analyze shared data.

• Unified Data Collection:

We designed the Insight Platform to allow customers to collect their data once and leverage that same data across multiple solutions, providing shared visibility across teams and reducing time to value for additional solutions.

Our robust data collection architecture supports gathering a wide swath of operational data from endpoints to the cloud, including key data about assets and user-specific behavior, into a unified, searchable dataset.

• Agentless and Agent-Based Architecture:

We developed our platform with flexible processing technologies that employ both agentless data collection and our own internally-developed endpoint agent technology, which enables rapid and seamless integration of our products into our customers’ modern IT environments and provides security and IT professionals with instant visibility into their dynamic and rapidly-expanding IT ecosystem.

Our lightweight endpoint Insight Agent is designed to automatically collect data from all endpoints, even those from remote workers and sensitive assets that cannot be actively scanned, or that rarely join the corporate network.

• Endpoint Detection and Visibility:

With a universal lightweight agent and endpoint scanning, the Insight Platform provides real-time detection and the ability to proactively remediate IT environments, before a potential attack happens.

• Network Traffic Analysis:

Network flow data illuminates environments and helps accelerate investigations.

Our lightweight Network Sensor passively analyzes raw traffic to increase visibility into user activity, pinpoint real threats, and accelerate investigations with granular detail of attacker movement.

Metasploit Community:

Our Metasploit product has an active community of contributors and users.

This online security community provides us with a robust and growing network of active users and influencers who promote the usage of our software.

Security researchers contribute modules to the Metasploit Framework that serve as a resource about real-world attacker techniques.

The community also provides us with near real-time visibility into new cyber attacks as they occur and a deep understanding of attacker behaviors.

We perform security research that enables the analytics in our platform and products as well as delivers strategic value to the security community at large.

The output of our research results in threat intelligence, exposure analysis and attacker awareness that we publish as well as integrate into our platform.

This data is used for security research, product development, and across our services to help protect and inform our customers, partners and community.

We share this data with validated educational and private security researchers, research partners, vetted threat sharing communities, and organizational security teams through our Open Data portal to foster collaboration and encourage discovery of new insights.

We collect data for research purposes through a few key areas:

Attacker Intelligence:

We collect data from across the internet through a variety of honeypots distributed both geographically and across IP space.

The honeypots collect many data types which are then analyzed to help enhance our understanding of attacker methods.

Internet Intelligence:

We conduct internet-wide scans across many services and protocols to gain insight into global exposures and vulnerabilities.

This data collected is analyzed for the purpose of analytics in our platform and results in core research reports.

We publish a variety of reports including The National Exposure Index, The Industry Cyber Exposure Report and Under the Hoodie.

The National Exposure Index, published annually, is a census report that highlights the state of exposed internet services at the nation-state level and provides key trending information on the use of insecure protocols.

The Industry Cyber Exposure Index details the attack surface, insecure service presence, email safety configurations, malware infection rates and internet supply-chain risks of Fortune 500 companies.

The Under the Hoodie report sheds light on the art of penetration testing by revealing not just the process, techniques and tools that go into it, but also revealing the real-world experience of our engineers and investigators, gathered over thousands of penetration tests.

Velociraptor Open Source DFIR:

Velociraptor is a unique, advanced open-source endpoint monitoring, digital forensic and cyber response platform.

It was developed by Digital Forensic and Incident Response (“DFIR”) professionals who needed a powerful and efficient way to hunt for specific artifacts and monitor activities across fleets of endpoints.

Velociraptor provides you with the ability to more effectively respond to a wide range of digital forensic and cyber incident response investigations and data breaches such as:

• Reconstruct attacker activities through digital forensic analysis

• Hunt for evidence of sophisticated adversaries

• Investigate malware outbreaks and other suspicious network activities

• Monitor continuously for suspicious user activities, such as files copied to USB devices

• Discover whether disclosure of confidential information occurred outside the network

• Gather endpoint data over time for use in threat hunting and future investigations

Velociraptor’s power and flexibility comes from the Velociraptor Query Language (“VQL”).

VQL is a framework for creating highly customized artifacts, which allow you to collect, query, and monitor almost any aspect of an endpoint, groups of

endpoints, or an entire network.

It can also be used to create continuous monitoring rules on the endpoint, as well as automate tasks on the server.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We believe that a company culture focused on diversity and inclusion is a key driver of creativity and innovation and that diverse and inclusive teams make better business decisions, which ultimately drive better business outcomes.

We are committed to recruiting, retaining and developing high-performing, innovative and engaged employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Several years ago, we set out to ensure we were creating a more diverse workforce population, while simultaneously ensuring we are creating the best possible environment for everyone to thrive.

Specifically, we sought to increase the number of under-represented groups (in particular women and people of color) to 50% of the employee base in the U.S.

Having achieved those goals in 2021, we focused on increasing our global population of women to 35% and investing in our recruiting and retaining of employees who identify as Black, Latinx or multi-racial, with the goal of increasing our U.S.

population of this demographic to 18%.

While we had originally expected to achieve these goals by the end of 2022, over the course of the year we adjusted the pace of hiring to better align with our operational performance and profitability goals amidst an evolving economic environment.

Despite these pressures, we still made strides towards our goals.

At the end of 2022, we increased our representation of under-represented communities, including Black, Latinx, and those who identify as multi-racial to 14% of U.S.

Additionally, 33% of our U.S.

employees identify as women, and in our international offices, employees identifying as women make up 30% of our staff.

We aim to promote transparency by publishing our workforce demographic data and encouraging thoughtful discussions across the Company, including through unconscious bias training and a mandatory Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion e-learning titled “Laying the foundation - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” which was implemented at the end of 2022.

In addition, we continued our efforts to recruit under-represented groups through referrals and beyond the traditional networks from which we previously recruited.

We are also focused on identifying and promoting diverse leaders through the organization at all levels and signed the Corporate Parity Pledge, which includes, among other things, a commitment to interview at least one woman and one person of color for every open role at the vice president level and above.

We have also directed our talent acquisition team to take the further step of interviewing at least one woman and/or person of color for every role we hire for.

Fostering a culture that values the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion is an essential and fundamental aspect of who we are.

We strive to create an environment where every individual, regardless of their background, feels valued and empowered.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are key drivers of creativity and innovation, and we know that when teams embrace these drivers, they are able to make better business decisions, which ultimately drive better business outcomes.

Our commitment extends beyond just words, it is an ongoing investment that is visible in our partnerships, yearly programming, internal events, training and development and available resources.

Over the past year we have made significant progress on internal programming and support, which in turn allowed us for the first time to be featured on the Human Rights Campaign Equality Index.

Our employee resource groups offered roundtables and educational sessions focused on embracing identity, navigating difficult conversations, building a personal brand and reputation, advocating for yourself, celebrating and supporting those who are neurodivergent and more.

We welcomed the launch of our newest employee resource group established to create intentional space for those identifying as LatinX and/or Hispanic.

We continue to offer our comprehensive e-learning program on diversity, equity, and inclusion, for all new hires.

Our efforts also extended to our global talent acquisition teams, holding in-person and virtual training, focused on leveraging the key tenets of cultural competency to support our ongoing efforts to build multidimensional talent pipelines.

In addition, all our employees now have access to education geared toward collaborating with supporting neurodivergent team members.
