At the Take Command 2025 Virtual Cybersecurity Summit, Rapid7 unveiled its vision for a unified, intelligence-driven approach to visibility and control. In the Command Your Attack Surface session, Aniket Menon, VP of Product Management, walked through how the Rapid7 platform helps security teams reconcile their data, reduce noise, and take decisive action across hybrid environments.
This lightning talk distilled a complex problem into a clear, compelling vision: security teams need to understand everything in their environment — and act on it with confidence.
The fragmented reality of modern environments
Today’s attack surface spans cloud, endpoint, identity, third-party SaaS, APIs, and more. Despite increasing investment in tooling, many organizations are still operating in silos, with disconnected systems and overlapping asset counts.
“More than 80% of organizations are not able to see the majority of their attack surface.”Aniket introduced this challenge by comparing real-world asset counts across disparate platforms like CrowdStrike, Wiz, Tanium, and Active Directory — all showing different numbers, none reconcilable without manual work.
The goal: visibility, prioritization, and confidence
The Rapid7 Command Platform is designed to centralize that fragmentation. The goal, as Aniket put it, is simple:
“Monitor 100% of the attack surface in real time, at optimal cost-effectiveness.”This requires not just data collection, but data reconciliation and prioritization. The platform brings together exposure management, threat detection, and automated response across a single view — using telemetry from more than 100 sources and connectors (including third-party platforms).
Capabilities across the stack
The session highlighted three core offerings working together within the platform:
Surface Command: Asset visibility from endpoint to cloud, offering context-aware visualizations of your full digital estate
Exposure Command: Risk-aware vulnerability management with real-time prioritization and compliance reporting
Managed Threat Complete: Cloud-scale MXDR, including proactive detection, curated threat intelligence, and incident response backed by Velociraptor
Each capability is tightly integrated into the Command Platform UI, enabling smooth navigation between remediation, threat intelligence, and posture reporting.
Survey insight: visibility remains a top concern
The emphasis on unified asset visibility echoed what attendees shared in the post-event survey. 53% of respondents said identifying unknown assets was their top challenge in exposure management — making this one of the most commonly cited barriers to improving risk reduction and detection response.
The solution presented: a single source of truth across environments and tools, designed to reduce alert fatigue and give teams clear priorities based on real business impact.
New additions: intelligence command and remediation hub
Aniket previewed enhancements that rolled out out in Q2, including:
Intelligence Command: A modern threat intelligence platform embedded directly into the Command Platform. This brings curated, high-fidelity data from Rapid7 Labs, AttackerKB, open source, and honeypot feeds together in one view.
Remediation Hub: Offers prioritized, risk-based fixes that target multiple vulnerabilities at once.
