Penetration Testing

Rapid7 provides the solutions that penetration testers need to effectively conduct security assessments and penetration tests.

Penetration testers need solutions that enable them to quickly identify weaknesses in their companies or clients infrastructure and security controls.  They need solutions that efficiently enable them to identify vulnerabilities and test the impact and risk associated with these vulnerabilities by launching exploits at identified systems. These tools need to be integrated into their workflow and processes so that they can penetrate these networks as quickly as possible. Rapid7 works closely with its consultant and partner ecosystem to insure that its security assessment solutions meet the needs of penetration testers.

NeXpose

A good penetration tester locates and exploits vulnerabilities throughout the network. NeXpose comprehensively scans for network, database, and Web application vulnerabilities in a single scan, enabling consultants and penetration testers to rapidly identify the key vulnerabilities to exploit.

Further, the NeXpose expert system chains vulnerabilities together to identify hidden vulnerabilities thereby slashing the effort necessary to identify the most significant threats to the company, its infrastructure, and its data. For example, NeXpose can take an identified database vulnerability and use that information to identify additional vulnerabilities in your operating system.

Metasploit

Metasploit is the security community's de facto exploit development framework and is backed by the world's largest public exploit database. As project sponsor, Rapid7's Metasploit team and the open source community together will continue to expand the exploit library and create a broader platform with publicly available exploits, helping organizations to stay ahead of the changing threat landscape by providing the same information behind some of today’s malicious attacks.  Rapid7 is committed to making Metasploit the best security and penetration testing platform in the world.
