BOSTON ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Rapid7®,
the leading provider of unified vulnerability
management and penetration
testing solutions, and Modulo,
a leading provider of enterprise governance, risk and compliance (GRC)
solutions, today announced a technology integration that enables global
customers to better manage their organizations’ risk by automating the
collection and analysis of security intelligence across IT assets.
Critical vulnerability, misconfiguration and policy violation data
identified by Rapid7 NeXpose® scans can then be assessed, prioritized
and remediated by Modulo Risk Manager™ NG to centrally manage, track and
report security and compliance risks and make more informed business
decisions.
“The effective management of risk has become a global business priority.
With the threat landscape changing constantly, a striking increase in
internal threats and a demanding regulatory environment, it is critical
that organizations automate and integrate their vulnerability and GRC
management programs for real-time visibility into their enterprise-wide
risk and compliance posture,” said Mike Tuchen, president and CEO for
Rapid7.
Rapid7 NeXpose is the only integrated vulnerability management solution
that allows organizations to manage network, operating system, Web
application and database security strategies. Additionally, NeXpose is
the only vulnerability management solution to use real exploit
intelligence to perform risk classification and deliver prioritized
remediation reports.
“This important partnership brings together two of the industry’s most
widely used and proven solutions. Customers will benefit from the
intelligent data they need to meet today’s business imperatives while
reducing operational costs – and can scale to meet the demands of even
the largest enterprises,” said Alvaro Lima, president and CEO for Modulo.

solution allows the platform to consistently and repeat-ably demonstrate
