Rapid7 enhances MDR with advanced endpoint prevention forensic capabilities>
– Sean Mitchell
The introduction of next-generation antivirus (NGAV) and Velociraptor’s digital forensics and incident response capabilities supplement the already robust feature set of the Insight Agent, which includes powerful vulnerability scanning, high-efficacy threat detection, and swift containment activities.Addressing the challenges of security operation centre (SOC) teams, Jeremiah Dewey, Senior Vice President of Managed Services and Product Delivery at Rapid7, said, “As SOC teams face an expanding attack surface from the endpoint to the cloud, it’s easy for them to become trapped in a cycle of reactive processes, leading to burnout, and, at times, recurring breaches as a result of failing to fully-remediate previous events.”
Dewey added, “Our MDR customers will now benefit from additional reductions of endpoint security cost and complexity within their SOC.The integration of DFIR from Velociraptor and next-generation antivirus helps customers gain control over the dynamic attack surface and increase levels of security protection.”
The digital forensics and incident response capability, now incorporated into Rapid7’s agent, employs the Velociraptor open-source community for instantaneous detection and elimination of threats.
