Integration Enables Global Organizations to Leverage Security Intelligence from Rapid7 Nexpose within RSA's GRC Framework

BOSTON, MA – April 15, 2010 – Rapid7^®, a leading provider of unified vulnerability management, compliance and penetration testing solutions, and RSA, The Security Division of EMC, today announced a technology collaboration to bring rich vulnerability and compliance intelligence to RSA's global client base. A technology integration with RSA's Archer GRC framework is engineered to provide clients with direct access to the Rapid7 Nexpose^® vulnerability management integration toolkit, allowing them to leverage Nexpose capabilities to scan the broadest range of assets across infrastructures, Web applications and databases for threats and centrally manage results within the RSA GRC framework.

"With today's threats and business needs for heightened security, such as stringent compliance regulations, it's critical for organizations to have a clear picture of their IT environment and the vulnerabilities that can impact their business," said Mike Tuchen, president and CEO for Rapid7. "This integration helps enable organizations of all sizes to achieve true visibility into their infrastructure in an easy-to-understand management system, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding vulnerability remediation and report their results."

Rapid7 Nexpose, the Company's flagship vulnerability management product, provides prioritized, remediation-based reporting and risk-based scoring to help organizations optimize their network security, Web application security and database security strategies. Rapid7's products and services help businesses stay ahead of the ever-changing threat landscape, enabling organizations to protect business-critical data and comply with mandatory regulations, including the security requirements for PCI, HIPAA, FISMA, SOX and NERC as well as the new Massachusetts Data Privacy Law (MA 201 CMR 17).

"This is a great addition for our customers," said Jon Darbyshire, Archer General Manager for RSA, The Security Division of EMC. "The rich data provided by Nexpose is precisely the kind of intelligence that the Archer Exchange was designed for, giving customers the information they need to make sound, risk-based decisions, protect critical information assets and ultimately help accelerate their business."
