San Francisco, CA @ RSA Conference - February 16, 2011 - Rapid7^®, the leading provider of unified vulnerability management and penetration testing solutions, and Rsam, the industry leader in governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced a technology collaboration to bring rich vulnerability and exploit intelligence from Rapid7 to the Rsam GRC Platform. With its automated scans and Metasploit^® integration, Rapid7 Nexpose^® provides faster access to real risk intelligence and risk prioritization for smarter GRC-based decisions.

"Today's increasing organizational complexity and professional threat environment have made it more critical than ever for organizations to clearly identify their exposures, measure vulnerability risk and quickly prioritize remediation efforts," said Sheldon Malm, senior director of security strategy and alliances for Rapid7. "This integration provides Rsam customers with the information they need to make sound, risk-based decisions, protect critical information assets, achieve and maintain compliance, and, ultimately, help accelerate their business."

Rapid7 Nexpose, the Company's flagship vulnerability management product, is the only vulnerability management solution integrated with penetration testing to allow organizations fast assessment of network operating systems, Web applications and database security strategies. Through its collaboration with Metasploit, the world's leading open source database of public exploits, Nexpose uses real exploit intelligence in order to eliminate false positives, provide prioritized, remediation-based reporting and leverage risk-based scoring to help security professionals make informed decisions on which vulnerabilities need to be fixed first.

"This integration is a great addition to the technology that our customers depend on today," said Vivek Shivananda, CEO of Rsam. "Our customers want all their risk and compliance findings in one central repository (Rsam), in order to manage remediation, correlate findings and provide visibility to their overall posture. The extensive vulnerability and exploit intelligence that Nexpose adds to our technology will help us to continue our goal in making the Rsam GRC Platform the most mature and extensible software solution for GRC management in the marketplace today."
