Rapid7 Introduces The NeXpose Vulnerability Management Appliance
Product moves company to plug-and-play threat assessment capability
Boston, MA - September 27, 2005 - Rapid7, supplier of vulnerability management products, today announces the NeXpose Appliance, immediately available in three versions. Designed to meet the business objectives of the security group, the NeXpose Appliance I is for small companies that require regular system scans for detecting potential threats. The NeXpose Appliance II and III models provide larger customers with higher throughput capabilities. All the appliances offer centralized control, distributed assessment and consolidated reporting.
Configured for plug-and-play use, the NeXpose Appliance models are easy to install and employ. IT teams can perform proactive vulnerability scanning from a desktop without deploying and maintaining software.

With its expert system core, NeXpose builds a vulnerabilities knowledge base and models potential targeted attacks to expose all existing threats. The NeXpose appliance also provides reporting capabilities that ensure compliance with governmental regulations and corporate security configuration policies.
