Rapid7 (RPD)

Rapid7 has since broadened its platform to cover a wider range of security operations. Its offerings include extended detection and response, security information and event management, cloud security, application security testing, threat intelligence, and security orchestration and automation tools. These products are designed to give security teams a clearer view of risk across endpoints, networks, cloud infrastructure, applications, and user activity.

The company serves organisations that need to manage cyber risk while dealing with limited security resources and growing regulatory scrutiny. Its technology is used by security operations centres, IT teams, and risk managers to monitor environments, investigate suspicious behaviour, and accelerate remediation workflows. Rapid7 is also known for its research capabilities, including threat intelligence and community-facing security research that can help customers understand emerging attacker techniques.

Founded in 2000, Rapid7 went public in 2015 and trades on Nasdaq under the ticker RPD. The company operates in a competitive cybersecurity market alongside specialist vendors and larger platform providers. Its distinguishing feature is the combination of vulnerability management heritage with broader detection, response, and cloud security capabilities, positioning it as a provider for organisations seeking integrated security visibility and operational efficiency.
