(BW)(MA-RAPID7)Rapid7 and Indusface Partner to Provide Advanced Vulnerability Management and Managed Services to India
More Organizations Can Now Benefit from Broad-Based Asset Scanning, Prioritization Reports and Managed Security Services for Increased Security Protection
Boston, United States, Wednesday, September 02, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) --
Rapid7®, the leading provider of unified vulnerability management solutions, today announced its partnership with Indusface Consulting, an India-based IT security solutions and services organization that will now serve as a value-added distributor (VAD) for Rapid7 NeXpose. In addition, Indusface will launch a managed security service using Rapid7 technology and expertise to bring advanced vulnerability management to the Indian market, where sophisticated attacks plague Web applications, networks, databases and operating systems.
As more enterprises and small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) experience relentless security attacks on a variety of corporate assets that hold business-critical data, they require an advanced vulnerability management solution that will enable them to stay ahead of threats. Rapid7 NeXpose, with its ability to scan the broadest level of assets available, while at the same time prioritizing vulnerabilities and devising clear remediation plans, gives Indusface customers the visibility into their IT infrastructure that is necessary to mitigate risk and minimize data loss. By leveraging Rapid7 NeXpose, Indusface completes its vision of offering end-to-end security solutions and extends Rapid7's expansive reach into the global security market.
In addition to offering Rapid7's comprehensive solution, Indusface's new managed security service, built on Rapid7 NeXpose and harnessing the Company's vulnerability management expertise, will enable organizations of all sizes with limited IT budgets to experience the same level of protection as large companies. With the new service, customers can run scans from a secure, hosted environment using a simple Web browser, reducing the need for hardware or software installation. From there, security consultants can offer analysis and guidance based on the found vulnerabilities and suggest mitigation steps.
"Our customers range from Fortune 500 organizations to startups, yet they all have a common need for advanced vulnerability management solutions that can locate threats throughout the IT infrastructure and offer a prioritization of threats based on risk level," said Ashish Tandon, chief executive officer of Indusface Consulting. "Both Rapid7 NeXpose and our new managed security service will provide all of our customers with the ability to achieve true visibility into their risk and prevent security attacks."
"Indusface is clearly committed to providing a full suite of security products and services that defend from edge to core and provide proactive security strategies," said Eric Dougherty, vice president of partners and alliances at Rapid7. "As Rapid7 looks to expand its reach globally, we'll continue to collaborate with high-quality distributors, resellers and partners like Indusface that offer the best-of-breed security products."
With its unique architecture and technology, Rapid7 NeXpose reduces false positives and provides detailed mitigation reports based on risk level, unlike other vulnerability management systems. As a result, IT administrators can focus on the threats that can cause the most damage by eliminating high-level weaknesses in their IT environment before the network is penetrated and sensitive information is compromised.
"Indusface's customers are similar to organizations all over the world - no matter what their size; they need the ability to locate threats, including those in Web applications and databases, and have clear next steps for eliminating those risks. Today's technology must be able to scale to an organization's size and need, and Rapid7 NeXpose was developed with that goal in mind," said Mike Tuchen, president and chief executive officer of Rapid7. "By partnering with Indusface, we're able to offer our technology and expertise to organizations in additional markets that are struggling to stay ahead of today's sophisticated security attacks."
