What is Rapid7 AI?
Rapid7 provides an integrated security operations platform — InsightVM for vulnerability management, InsightIDR for SIEM and XDR, InsightAppSec for DAST, and InsightCloudSec for cloud security — connected in the Insight Platform with AI capabilities. AI Assist generates plain-language investigation summaries correlating related alerts into incidents, reducing analyst investigation time from hours to minutes. InsightVM prioritises vulnerabilities using Metasploit exploit intelligence — focusing on actively weaponised vulnerabilities rather than CVSS score alone. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provides 24/7 SOC analyst coverage. Metasploit, maintained by Rapid7, is the most widely used penetration testing framework globally.
How Rapid7 AI works
Rapid7 AI runs as ml platform software built around data and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and api.
