Rapid7 and Coalfire Join Forces to Provide Powerful PCI-Approved Scanning Services
January 18 2017 - 9:05AM
Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ:RPD), a leading provider of IT and security
analytics solutions, announced that it has partnered with Coalfire,
an industry-leading cyber risk management and compliance solution
provider, to deliver its PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV)
offering. The companies have also announced that Coalfire has
standardized its scanning solution on Nexpose, Rapid7’s
vulnerability management solution. With Nexpose as the underlying
scanning engine behind CoalfireOne℠, customers will benefit from
the combined power of top-rated vulnerability management and
compliance expertise to more effectively meet the needs of their
organizations.
Through the partnership, Rapid7 ASV customers will have access
to the CoalfireOne portal to run and manage their ASV scans and
obtain PCI attestation reports. The streamlined interface
significantly reduces manual processes and simplifies tasks, such
as submitting evidence for exceptions. The PCI Security Standards
Council (SSC), which promotes standards for the safety of
cardholder data globally, issues ASV status to organizations that
provide security services and tools used to conduct external
vulnerability scanning to validate adherence with the external
scanning requirements of PCI DSS Requirement 11.2.2.
“We strongly believe that building meaningful partnerships with
industry-leading organizations is one of the most effective ways to
help our customers better secure their environments and mitigate
risk,” said David Etue, vice president of managed services at
Rapid7. “Pairing Rapid7’s leading vulnerability management
technology with Coalfire’s demonstrated ability to help customers
manage and document compliance, especially as the PCI compliance
landscape continues to shift, is a recipe for customer
success.”
Rapid7 will continue to focus on delivering innovative PCI
scanning capabilities to support its ASV partners and will maintain
its status as PCI ASV certified. Current Rapid7 PCI ASV customers
will be contacted to schedule their transition to the
CoalfireOne-delivered service. Nexpose monitors exposures in real
time and adapts to new threats with fresh data, ensuring customers
can always act at the moment of impact. Nexpose real-time
monitoring is supported by Rapid7’s research, threat intelligence,
and the Metasploit community, ensuring comprehensive coverage for
today’s evolving threat landscape.
“In order to effectively minimize the impact on brand trust and
reputation, speed is a critical capability when helping businesses
to identify cyber threats,” said Dirk Anderson, vice president,
enterprise risk & compliance, for Coalfire. “Our long-standing
and continued relationship with Rapid7 as the underlying engine to
the CoalfireOne platform has helped our customers maintain the
integrity of critical systems in the ongoing effort to preserve and
grow their brand in the face of increasing cyber threats.”
