Rapid7 provides the solutions that penetration testers need to effectively conduct security assessments and penetration tests.

Penetration testers need solutions that enable them to quickly identify weaknesses in their companies or clients infrastructure and security controls. They need solutions that efficiently enable them to identify vulnerabilities and test the impact and risk associated with these vulnerabilities by launching exploits at identified systems. These tools need to be integrated into their workflow and processes so that they can penetrate these networks as quickly as possible. Rapid7 works closely with its consultant and partner ecosystem to insure that its security assessment solutions meet the needs of penetration testers. Metasploit integrates with Nexpose to provide the industry's most powerful solution for integrated vulnerability management and penetration testing, allowing organizations to easily detect, prioritize and remediate real security threats in their infrastructures.

Rapid7 Nexpose and Metasploit leverage exploit data from the Metasploit Community to identify critical vulnerabilities in your environment.

Nexpose

Nexpose is the market leading vulnerability management solution that helps a penetration tester to locate vulnerabilities throughout the network. Nexpose comprehensively scans for network, database, and Web application vulnerabilities in a single scan, enabling consultants and penetration testers to rapidly identify the key vulnerabilities to exploit.

Further, the Nexpose expert system chains vulnerabilities together to identify hidden vulnerabilities thereby slashing the effort necessary to identify the most significant threats to the company, its infrastructure, and its data. For example, Nexpose can take an identified database vulnerability and use that information to identify additional vulnerabilities in your operating system.

Nexpose's Exploit Exposure capability links vulnerability information together with Metasploit’s exploitability information, providing deeper insight into the breach paths for vulnerabilities. Penetration testers can leverage this information to conduct more targeted penetration tests and verify actual exploit paths, greatly increasing efficiency of testing while reducing both cost and time.

Metasploit

The Metasploit Framework, Metasploit Express and Metasploit Pro integrate with all editions of Nexpose.

The Metasploit Framework is leading the security community's de facto exploit development framework and is backed by the world's largest tested and integrated public exploit database. As project sponsor, Rapid7's Metasploit team and the open source community together will continue to expand the exploit library and create a broader platform with publicly available exploits, helping organizations to stay ahead of the changing threat landscape by providing the same information behind some of today's malicious attacks.

Metasploit Express is the first penetration testing product that meets the criteria of addressing the needs of mainstream users (security professionals in corporations of any size as well as security consulting organizations) in regards to ease-of-use, automation, affordability and functionality.

Metasploit Pro is enterprise-grade software for security professionals who specialize in penetration testing and require an advanced solution for multi-level attacks that enables them to get deeper into networks more efficiently.
