Rapid7 Recognized as a Leader in IDC MarketScape for Worldwide SIEM Solutions for SMBs

Rapid7 is excited to share we have been recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SIEM for SMB 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #US52038824, September 2024). We want to thank our customers for their partnership, feedback, and trust, all of which continue to guide how we build and innovate toward our mission to deliver command of the attack surface and keep security teams ready for whatever comes next.

What sets InsightIDR apart from other SIEMs

When we entered this space almost nine years ago, we were driven by customers who were bogged down by the complexity and ineffectiveness of traditional SIEMs. Unfortunately, challenging deployments, constant tuning, unmanageable alerts, and inflated total cost of ownership continue to plague many SIEM users today – making it impossible to maximize utility of these products and challenging team effectiveness.

InsightIDR is different.

1. Intuitive deployment and UI to maximize efficiency

A strong SIEM product can be the nucleus of the SOC – helping to harmonize otherwise disparate data into a clear picture of the attack surface and relevant insights. Unfortunately, many SIEMs are off track from the start due to:

• Complex deployments
• High operational overhead
• Tedious configuration work that consumes team resources

InsightIDR’s cloud-native, SaaS delivery makes it fast and easy to get started without the burdens of heavy infrastructure management, while ensuring you have the scale to grow with your business when you need it. Easily identify the priority data to ingest and quickly start collecting the right information with:

• Intuitive onboarding wizards
• Flexibility to leverage our native data collection (endpoint agent, network sensor, collectors)
• Ability to connect your extended security ecosystem with vast integrations
• Auto-enrichment of logs with user and asset details via our attribution engine
• Custom log parsers
• In-product guidance

With 13 months of readily searchable data and flexible search modes that can accommodate your most experienced to your most junior analysts, InsightIDR puts your data to work for you – not the other way around.

2. Optimized for modern threat detection

While collecting the right telemetry is a critical piece of unifying the attack surface, too many SIEMs are overly indexed on log aggregation. Lost in logs and making sense of data, teams can lose sight of the thing that matters most: staying ahead of an attack.

InsightIDR has taken a detections-first approach to SIEM and is proud to deliver a robust library of out-of-the-box detections that customers can trust and use as a starting line to augment their own threat intelligence and detections engineering programs. With coverage across all phases of the MITRE ATT&CK framework, this is the same detections library used in the field by our own Rapid7 MDR SOC experts – ensuring strong signal-to-noise detections and constant curation to keep teams ahead of emergent threats.

This library marries both AI-charged user and attacker behavioral detections alongside known IOC coverage to ensure you are ready for both evasive, headline-making unknown threats as well as recognized adversary TTPs. Detections are comprehensive across the modern attack surface – from endpoint-to-cloud – and can easily be customized or added onto so customers can feel confident they are covered no matter where threats begin.

3. Ready to respond across the attack surface

With a rapidly expanding attack surface, all teams are challenged to ensure they know how to investigate and respond effectively to alerts. It’s harder than ever to understand lateral movement and the full blast radius, so it’s critical to ensure analysts have enough context to take action – and the right playbooks and tools in place to execute when they’re ready to do so.

InsightIDR is built around making sure analyst teams are ready to respond effectively to threats every time. Highly correlated investigation timelines unify related alerts and events across the security ecosystem to give a cohesive view of an attack and all relevant evidence in one place.

Integrated access to the Velociraptor DFIR framework enables teams to quickly query fleets of endpoints to assess and understand the blast radius of an attack. And when it’s time to take action, alerts are paired with descriptive guidance and recommendations vetted by our own SOC experts. Fully embedded SOAR capabilities and pre-built playbooks accelerate readiness and time-to-respond. We understand the friction and toll that noisy alerts and complex investigations can take on SOC teams; InsightIDR reduces this burnout and the likelihood of analyst churn by decreasing cycles and friction across investigation workflows – creating happier and more effective teams.

4. Tangible return on investment

Probably one of the things that many SIEMs are most notorious for is high and unpredictable costs and resource consumption – with few results to show for it. Traditional ingestion-based models have always been a challenge for security teams – and it’s getting even more difficult as the attack surface becomes increasingly dynamic.

InsightIDR is available in a number of flexible packages designed around real customer needs and security journeys. Our Threat Complete product marries InsightIDR with our leading vulnerability management to deliver proactive, threat-informed risk management to further reduce noise and strengthen security posture.

Predictable, asset-based pricing across our packages means no surprise charges to explain to your C-Suite or Board. And executive dashboards help you share insights and show progress to your wider organization to be able to show how you are advancing your threat detection and incident response program.

We are proud to be a Leader

Thank you to the IDC MarketScape for this recognition. We are proud to be named a Leader, but we are always most proud of the thousands of customers and partners across the globe who trust Rapid7 at the center of their security program.
