14 DAY TRIAL // During the UNITED 2013 security summit, IT security solutions provider Rapid7 unveiled two new enterprise products: UserInsight and ControlsInsight.
The innovative solutions are designed to provide information security professionals with better visibility and insight in an effort to help them reduce security risk.
UserInsight, a product that will become available later this year, helps organizations secure the perimeter by monitoring user activity on premise, cloud and mobile environments.
This allows security teams to enhance their incident response and compromised credentials detection capabilities.
ControlsInsight, available immediately, addresses the issue of security controls. Many organizations have thousands or even tens of thousands of security controls in place.
However, in most cases, the company can’t determine if these systems are properly deployed and configured. This is where ControlsInsight steps in.
The solution allows security professionals and business leaders to determine the efficiency of their endpoint security controls.
“Corporate endpoints remain one of our largest security concerns and are the source of many of today's security breaches,” noted Chad Currier, IT infrastructure director, Cardinal Innovations Healthcare Solutions.
“Not knowing the state of our endpoints is a risk that our organization cannot afford to take. Rapid7 ControlsInsight has provided our organization with visibility and insight that we cannot get anywhere else. It makes managing our endpoints easier, and that is appreciated by those of us with smaller security teams.”
Lee Weiner, senior vice president of products and engineering at Rapid7, commented, “Our ambition is to make it easy for defenders to get insight into their increasingly complex environment, so they can act effectively to manage and reduce security risk. We call this 'insight driving action'.”
“It's difficult for security professionals to sift through the noise that's bombarding them and identify relevant threats so they can communicate the current state of their organization's security. It's even harder to gauge what's working and what's not, and where further investment or action is needed. We aim to give them this insight, and help them achieve progress in reducing risk.”
