BOSTON, July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ:RPD), a leader in extended risk and threat detection, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Noetic Cyber, an innovator and a leader in cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM).
The addition of Noetic's CAASM solution to Rapid7's existing cybersecurity solutions will provide more comprehensive visibility of a customer's environment, including visibility into both internal and external assets, on-premise and in the cloud. With this, customers will be empowered to:
- More fully understand their attack surface with a high-context, inside-out view and an adversary aware, outside-in view to efficiently anticipate threats and manage risk
- Enable focused prioritization and fidelity with threat-aware context to recognize the most acute risk signals and exposures
- Drive better signal-to-noise across security teams by effectively and continually improving asset inventory and content to reduce risk and build resiliency with pragmatic remediation guidance and automation
- Create efficiency and productivity for security teams, giving them highly correlated asset and resource views along with searchable risk context

"The addition of Noetic's solution to our platform positions Rapid7 to deliver the most productive security operations experience while making it more accessible to the teams who need it most."

"Rapid7 customers will now be able to better prioritize exposures based on the meaningful insights from Noetic and take action to identify security gaps and reduce cyber risk."
