Rapid7 and Agiliance Partner to Provide Integrated Risk and Vulnerability Management Solution

Organizations Can Now Leverage Rapid7 Nexpose and Agiliance RiskVision to Improve Risk Posture and Support Regulatory Compliance Requirements.

BOSTON, MA and San Jose, CA– May 25, 2010 – Rapid7^®, the leading provider of unified vulnerability management, compliance and penetration testing solutions, and Agiliance, the leading provider of real-time integrated Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced a technology integration that will provide rich vulnerability data, risk metrics, and enterprise compliance intelligence to customers. Armed with this vulnerability, threat and compliance information, organizations can make better informed business decisions to meet internal security policies and meet regulatory compliance requirements.

Organizations are experiencing more threats, both internal and external, and are increasingly turning to GRC solutions to both improve visibility into their enterprise-wide risk posture and automate compliance processes. To meet these critical business needs, Agiliance has integrated its GRC solution, RiskVision, with Rapid7 Nexpose, the only integrated vulnerability management solution that allows organizations to manage network, operating system, Web application and database security strategies. Nexpose also provides the industry's most comprehensive risk scoring and prioritized remediation reports. By combining rich threat data from Nexpose with RiskVision’s real time risk and compliance management platform, joint customers now have a robust, closed loop solution that leverages the power of both platforms to proactively manage information security threats.

This unique integration brings together two of the industry’s top solutions. Rapid7 Nexpose received the highest possible rating of "Strong Positive" in Gartner's "MarketScope: Vulnerability Assessment, 2010." In addition, Agiliance RiskVision received the highest possible rating of "Strong Positive" in the latest Gartner MarketScope for IT-GRCM. The integration of Nexpose IT asset and vulnerability data with the continuously monitored asset configuration, patch status, and compliance metrics in Agiliance RiskVision allows organizations to understand their complete security posture in real-time. Agiliance's industry leading workflow and bi-directional integrations with ticketing and patch management systems also enable organizations to automate the prioritization and response to threats based on business priorities.

"GRC is critical for meeting security best practices and protecting business-critical information. Combined with rich vulnerability data and compliance intelligence gathered across the entire IT infrastructure, GRC becomes even more effective," said Mike Tuchen, president and CEO for Rapid7. "This integration gives joint customers access to richer, prioritized vulnerability and risk data for comprehensive analysis and visibility, even as their business and IT infrastructure continues to grow. Rapid7 provides vulnerability and asset data that no other security company harnesses with our vulnerability management solutions."

"The integration with Rapid7 further strengthens Agiliance's industry leading GRC solution, providing complete closed loop risk and compliance automation." said Joe Fantuzzi, president and CEO for Agiliance. "By linking vulnerability and asset data results from Rapid7 Nexpose to compliance and risk requirements, this integration enables enterprises to achieve continuous compliance with automation and avoid audit fatigue."
