Rapid7 Earns Spot on UK Government Digital Marketplace
October 26 2016 - 5:05AM
Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ:RPD), a leading provider of security data and
analytics solutions, announced today that its cloud–delivered
security solutions have been added to the Crown Commercial Service
(CCS) registry and are now accessible to public sector
organisations. Rapid7 solutions accelerate insight into security
and IT operations, arming customers with live information around
vulnerabilities and user behaviours. The Company focuses on giving
IT and security professionals the power to act at the moment of
impact to detect, deter, and investigate threats and incidents.
Rob Attree, EMEA director of sales at Rapid7, commented on the
agreement: “We are thrilled that eight of our products and services
have been accepted into the G-Cloud framework, a fully EU compliant
system. This arrangement will provide government and public sector
bodies with direct access to Rapid7’s leading security and IT
products and services to enable them to achieve their cybersecurity
goals.”
According to the Information Commissioner's Office Data Security
Incidents Trends, healthcare suffered more data breaches than any
other sector in the UK, with 184 breaches reported in the final
quarter of 2015 alone. The second most breached sector was local
government, which reported 43 breaches in the same quarter.
Consequently, security is becoming increasingly high on the IT
agenda for UK organisations, particularly the public sector. Rapid7
solutions aim to empower IT and security professionals to protect
their organisations by collecting data and transforming it into
prioritised and actionable insight. The Company helps organisations
to prevent attacks by providing visibility into vulnerabilities,
and to rapidly detect compromises, respond to breaches, and correct
the underlying causes of attacks.
Rapid7 now provides a range of SaaS solutions and specialist
security services to the UK public sector, including:
- InsightIDR: Leverages attacker analytics to detect intruder
activity on-demand, cutting down false positives and days’ worth of
work for security professionals. The solution unifies the
capabilities of SIEM, EDR, and UBA to detect behaviours that are
indicative of compromised credentials, spot lateral movement across
assets, uncover malware, and set traps for intruders.
- Managed Web Application Security: A highly accurate and
scalable solution that collects web application data for
vulnerability scanning, prioritises what needs to be fixed first,
and helps security teams remediate fixes faster without purchasing,
installing, and monitoring software. Powered by Rapid7 AppSpider,
the service is purpose–built to scan all modern apps from Single
Page Applications (SPAs) to mobile.
- Managed Vulnerability Management: Live vulnerability monitoring
using automated tools to scan identified systems and infrastructure
within an organisation’s IT environment with support from a
dedicated Managed Service Consultant (MSC). The MSC will complete
these scanning activities and deliver prioritised insight that
makes it easy for IT teams to remediate and reduce risk.
- Managed Detection and Response (Analytic Response): An
extension of customers’ internal security team, which provides
continuous threat detection by accurately identifying known
threats, unknown threats, and intruder movement from the endpoint
to the cloud. Rapid7 analysts can also pivot seamlessly into
incident response to identify the extent of the breach and provide
detailed steps on how to contain it.
- Cyber Security Maturity Assessment: A high-level operational
gap analysis/risk assessment targeting approximately 20 critical
control areas. The goal of this assessment is to drive measurable
improvements over a multi–month timeframe and address both
strategic and tactical aspects of improving security, including a
prioritised set of security initiatives to be implemented by
existing teams.
- CREST-certified Penetration Testing: Network, application,
wireless, device, physical, and social engineering engagements that
demonstrate the security level of an organisation's key systems and
infrastructure. This simulation of real–world attack vectors
documents actual risks posed to companies from the perspective of a
motivated attacker.
- Security Awareness Training: Offering of eight training
modules, each with a target duration of 8-10 minutes in length with
a formal assessment at the end of each module. Topics include:
Malware Awareness, Social Engineering, Password Security, Email
Security, Physical Security, Mobile Device Security, Phishing
Awareness, and Travel Security.
The G-Cloud initiative is designed to help ease procurement with
the use of cloud computing for all sections and departments of the
UK government and includes a series of framework agreements with a
wide range of suppliers. CCS’s vision is to deliver value for the
nation through outstanding commercial capability and quality
customer service. Its procurement arrangements can be used by
central government departments and organisations across the public
sector including local government, health, education,
not-for-profit, and devolved administrations. As such, any public
sector group can buy items or services without running a full
tender procurement process.
CCS’s commercial procurement solutions are fully EU compliant
and provide significant savings for the taxpayer, helping to
protect the delivery of front line services. The speed and ease of
the procurement of Rapid7 SaaS and specialist service solutions can
also provide notable savings for customers in terms of time and
money.
