October 04 2023 - 6:00AM
Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a leader in extended risk and threat
detection, today announced the opening of its Prague office. The
company opened its office doors yesterday at Praga Office Garden,
Pernerova 702/39, Praha 8 - Karlín and welcomed its local Rapid7
employees. This new location will serve as a hub for technical
talent and innovation and the future home of a new Security
Operations Center (SOC) as the company continues its mission of
creating a more secure digital future for all.
The new SOC will supplement Rapid7’s existing SOC facilities,
maximize quality and readiness, and enhance the company’s ability
to deliver global 24x7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
services to its customers. The SOC will be staffed with Rapid7’s
expert analysts who will investigate alerts, respond to
incidents, and work closely with detection engineers to ensure
that Rapid7 customers are protected. Rapid7 also plans to grow its
incident response team in the region to handle major incidents.
Rapid7 is committed to continued innovation and expanding its
global footprint to attract the best technical talent. The Prague
office will initially add more than 30 roles focused on data and
software engineering, development, and IT, with continued growth to
more than 100 roles by mid-2024.
The Boston-based cybersecurity company has roughly 2,300
employees, four North American offices, and 15 offices across
Europe, Asia-Pacific and Australia. With the competition for top
talent increasing globally, Rapid7 selected Prague due to its high
concentration of skilled technical talent to confront the world’s
security challenges.
“We are committed to investing to attract the right talent that
will support our continued innovation and ability to serve our
customers,” said Corey Thomas, chairman and CEO, Rapid7. “At a time
when data breaches are increasing in frequency and severity,
organizations need best-in-class security tools that deliver
results and services to extend their team’s ability to manage
effectively. As the challenge increases, so does the opportunity —
with Prague’s collaborative culture, we are excited to create a
space where talent can drive impact where customers need it the
most.”
As part of Rapid7’s plan to pave a new path in Prague, the
company also plans to partner with local universities to recruit
the next generation of security professionals and contribute to
pushing the city forward as a hub of tech growth.
