Boston - April 11, 2006 - Rapid7 LLC, provider of vulnerability and risk management solutions, today announced that Dreaming Tree Technology, Inc. provider of Internet security and managed firewall solutions, has licensed Rapid7's NeXpose to add vulnerability assessment and risk reporting to its service offerings. Dreaming Tree will use NeXpose with its SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances, helping its clients identify vulnerabilities, determine their risk level and obtain recommendations on securing their networks.
"The addition of NeXpose enables us to expand our portfolio of technical and security services to our clients," said Brian Reed, president of Dreaming Tree Technology, Inc. "NeXpose stands out as an easy-to-use and highly flexible vulnerability assessment solution, and we were impressed with its in-depth signature database. Our clients have been pleased with the risk assessment reports and gaining the information necessary to act on the findings."
"We welcome this opportunity to support Dreaming Tree Technology in providing add-on security services to its clients," said Alan Matthews, president of Rapid7 LLC. "Using NeXpose with Dreaming Tree's robust SonicWALL appliances will allow companies to safely get a 'hacker's eye' view of their network from the Internet."
NeXpose enterprise vulnerability management scans devices, systems, software and Web server applications to locate threats, assess their risk to the environment, devise a remediation plan and implement the ticketing process. With its expert system, NeXpose builds a knowledge base of facts on the environment it's exploring and models potential targeted attacks to expose all existing threats. NeXpose provides reporting capabilities that ensure compliance with governmental regulations and corporate security configuration policies.
NeXpose is available in multiple deployment options: software, plug-and-play appliance and hosted services. All Rapid7 NeXpose product offerings provide comprehensive vulnerability management and risk reporting at an optimal cost, allowing broad asset protection for a minimum investment.
Rapid7 is a leader in vulnerability management and compliance, delivering a single unified solution across an organization's entire infrastructure. Rapid7's NeXpose is the only solution that includes support for web applications, databases, operating systems, and network devices in a single system. NeXpose uncovers "hidden" threats that other systems cannot find, while at the same time separating these real threats from excessive “false positive” noise common to most vulnerability management systems. Organizations, including Black & Decker, Trader Joe's, Florida State University, the New York Times, and the City of Philadelphia, continually rely on Rapid7 to mitigate risk and remain compliant. Rapid7 is headquartered in Boston, MA, with an office in Los Angeles, California.
