Summary is AI-generated, newsdesk-reviewed
  • Rapid7 launches AI-generated risk intelligence to optimize vulnerability management and prioritize remediation.
  • New vulnerability intelligence capabilities enhance Rapid7's threat detection and response in Intelligence Hub.
  • AI-driven summaries enable faster decision-making, improving security and IT team collaboration.

Rapid7, Inc. has announced a significant enhancement to its Command Platform with the introduction of AI-generated risk intelligence. This new feature, accessible via the Remediation Hub, aims to streamline the remediation process by providing security teams with a detailed and actionable view of exposures.

By converting vulnerability data into informed risk intelligence, teams can more effectively prioritize remediation actions, improving internal communication and collaboration to achieve measurable reductions in risk.

Advancements in Vulnerability Intelligence

The company's efforts to advance threat intelligence tools include new capabilities added to its Intelligence Hub. This integrated solution is designed to deliver meaningful insights and context, supporting security teams in accelerating their detection and response initiatives.

According to Forrester, a strategic approach to vulnerability and exposure remediation prioritization remains a critical challenge for 22% of enterprise security decision-makers.

AI-Generated Risk and Vulnerability Insights

The latest effects in AI-generated risk and vulnerability intelligence offer vital insights into exploitability

"Exposures are growing faster than teams can respond," emphasized Craig Adams, Chief Product Officer at Rapid7. "Organizations rely on their security partners to provide the necessary context to prioritize."

The latest developments in AI-generated risk and vulnerability intelligence offer vital insights into exploitability, asset importance, and potential risks, leading to shared understanding and a reduced mean time to remediate (MTTR).

Risk Summaries in the Remediation Hub

The new risk summaries allow organizations to quickly identify affected systems, the surrounding activities, and recommended actions such as patching or implementing compensating controls.

Rapid7's AI-driven summaries blend exploit signals, asset criticality, and vulnerability data into straightforward reports that help prioritize risks efficiently. Each summary includes:

  • Clarity on prioritization based on exploitation likelihood and business impact
  • IT-ready context for ticketing and scheduling changes
  • Urgency based on data from CISA KEV, EPSS, and threat intelligence
  • Effort estimates for patch application and potential blockers

Enhanced Vulnerability Intelligence in Intelligence Hub

Intelligence Hub's latest vulnerabilities intelligence capabilities provide curated threat contexts for exploited CVEs, aiding security teams in prioritizing remediation according to their specific risk profiles. Rapid7's intelligence narrows down relevant vulnerabilities amidst the noise, allowing teams to focus on genuine organizational risks.

The platform utilizes CVE profiles, enhanced by Rapid7 Labs' research, AttackerKB assessments, and public metadata, to enable informed prioritization and mitigation strategies. These insights will soon be available within Remediation Hub, providing additional context on threat actors to assist in vulnerability prioritization.

Starting in late November, AI-generated risk summaries will be available to Exposure Command and Surface Command customers on the Rapid7 Command Platform. Similarly, the Intelligence Hub's new vulnerability intelligence features will be rolled out in the same timeframe.
