Expert Statements
Christiaan Beek, Vice President of Rapid7 Intelligence
“Static threat intelligence isn't completely dead—it's just sitting in standard dashboards doing what it's always done, giving organizations a false sense of security while autonomous threat agents burn down their perimeters”
Christiaan Beek, Vice President of Rapid7 Intelligence
“The real differentiator isn't hoarding more raw feeds; it's having curated, vetted intelligence focused relentlessly on true signals rather than waiting around for alerts to trigger after the damage is done”
Christiaan Beek, Vice President of Rapid7 Intelligence
“Rapid7 Intelligence isn't built to generate another 50-page PDF report for security teams to ignore; it aggressively converts real-time operational adversary insight into a proactive, preemptive shield”
Mel Stone, Chief Global Services Officer at Rapid7
“In a world of infinite telemetry and automated attacks, playing defense with traditional tools is an exercise in futility”
Mel Stone, Chief Global Services Officer at Rapid7
“Rapid7 Intelligence shifts the balance of power. By fusing machine-scale observation with frontline human expertise, we turn raw threat data into immediate, actionable intelligence—empowering security teams to disrupt adversaries before they establish a foothold”
