Rapid7 Introduces Comprehensive Cloud Workload Protection for InsightCloudSec
March 29, 2022
Rapid7 announced new cloud workload protection capabilities for InsightCloudSec, the company’s fully-integrated cloud-native security platform (CNSP).
The enhancements, which include native vulnerability assessment for container and Kubernetes environments, leverage Rapid7’sproven, industry-leading vulnerability assessment technology delivered viaan agentless experience that is purpose built for cloud-native environments.
As organizations increasingly move to public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) to fuel new initiatives or replace on-premises systems, the overall number of IaaS workloads is growing rapidly. With robust cloud workload protection in InsightCloudSec, security and risk management leaders can assess their public cloud environments for known vulnerabilities and leverage that context to quickly and effectively reduce risks related tothose critical workloads.
The addition, vulnerability assessment for containers and Kubernetes enables customers to layer vulnerability intelligence with configuration and identity context already available in InsightCloudSec. This gives them a deeper understanding of their cloud environments to better prioritize and remediate potential risks within those environments.
“Now, more than ever, security professionals are facing high levels of complexity due to the increasing distribution of cloud-native applications and rapid acceleration of cloud migrations,” said Lee Weiner, Chief Innovation Officer at Rapid7. “They need better visibility and data to make better decisions. Rapid7’s InsightCloudSec consolidates cloud workload context into a single place, giving customers the confidence to deploy cloud services that drive business agility and innovation.”
As part of these enhancements, Rapid7 is integrating Snyk’s industry-leading vulnerability database with InsightCloudSec to provide customers with some of the broadest vulnerability coverage available in the market. By combining Rapid7’s own vulnerability database with Snyk’s, which is already integrated with the company’s InsightVM and InsightAppSec products, Rapid7 can provide additional context related to application- and library-level vulnerabilities for InsightCloudSec customers.
