T

he evolution of technology has

always run parallel with larger

socio-economic trends, and

the nature of cyber threat is no

different. The COVID-19 pandemic,

for example, has uprooted operating

paradigms and shifted workers away from the

relative safety of siloed corporate networks

and towards the security minefield of remote

working. Solid vulnerability management

requires an ability to navigate the unexpected

and know the best course of action to remain

protected using cutting-edge tools guided

by industry expertise. We spoke to Victoria

Sitcawich, Product Marketing Manager, and

Bria Grangard, Product Marketing Manager,

to find out how security specialist Rapid7

can offer both.

Rapid7’s approach is characterised

by its broad scope of coverage, which

isn’t restricted simply to traditional

network environments but extends to an

organisation’s entire infrastructure, including

web applications, virtual environments

and remote assets. “We view vulnerability

management as being a holistic process of

identifying the assets in your environment,

evaluating them for risk, prioritising that risk,

and treating the identified vulnerabilities

through remediation or mitigation,” explains

Sitcawich. The company enables customers

to do this with a suite of dedicated, cloud-

based products, including InsightVM and

InsightAppSec.

Rapid7’s Victoria Sitcawich and

Bria Grangard discuss the importance

of visibility and effective prioritisation

to modern cyber threat remediation
