Rapid7 Named a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Exposure Management

We’re proud to share that Rapid7 has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Exposure Management 2025 Vendor Assessment. We believe this recognition underscores our continued commitment to helping security teams stay ahead of attackers by transforming how organizations manage risk across their attack surface.

This latest IDC MarketScape report identifies the industry-wide shift from traditional vulnerability management to more holistic exposure management as security teams focus more on proactive approaches to cybersecurity problems.

In a time when threats are evolving faster than ever, traditional vulnerability management alone is no longer enough. Security teams need continuous visibility into hybrid environments, real-time prioritization based on what attackers are actively exploiting, and the ability to remediate risk at scale. That’s where the Rapid7 Command Platform delivers.

At the heart of our approach is Exposure Command, an end-to-end vulnerability and exposure management platform that consolidates attack surface data, contextualizes risk across on-prem, cloud, and containers, and enables organizations to act fast through automation and deep integrations.

Supporting remediation across the extended ecosystem

At Rapid7, one of our key principles around exposure management is that all security data has value. We generated significant insights from our native telemetry across the attack surface, cloud, identity, vulnerability scanning and more, but we also provide deep support for all of the other security tools that our customers use.

The IDC MarketScape report states that ‘Rapid7 provides a normalized view of the entire attack surface by ingesting, deduplicating, and correlating data from both native and third-party sources with over 275 out-of-the-box integrations including EDR, CMDB, ticketing, and cloud providers.’

This also drives action, which is at the heart of Remediation Hub, where we provide our customers not only with prioritized guidance into the most effective remediation, but also the automation workflows and playbooks to deliver real outcomes. This is something that the IDC MarketScape identifies, stating that ‘Exposure Command is integrated with Rapid7's SOAR workflow platform, which enables over 500 prebuilt automation workflows and a low-code/no-code orchestration engine, enabling organizations to streamline remediation, notifications, and exception handling.’

A unified platform approach to threat and exposure management

Rapid7’s Command Platform delivers on modern security’s need to have a common understanding of their attack surface and exposures aligned with their threat detection and response program. The Command Platform unifies findings on exposures, threats, identities, external intelligence and more to give security teams a consolidated view of risks across the business.

By unifying visibility and insights from across the security lifecycle, the Command Platform provides security teams with additional exposure context to improve security incident triage and investigation, and greater threat-informed intelligence to help prioritize high-risk exposures.

Rapid7 is the only vendor to be a recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Exposure Management, the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SIEM for Enterprise 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #US51541324, September 2024) and the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SIEM for SMB 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #US52038824, September 2024).

We believe these recognitions demonstrate the breadth and our vision of bringing the richness of exposure management and vulnerability data to SIEM, to enable more accurate threat detections and increase the speed of response.

Why we believe Rapid7 shines

Here are some of the key areas that we believe make the Exposure Command Platform different and how it positively impacts our customers.

Looking ahead:

Enabling continuous exposure management maturity

The IDC MarketScape research points to a broader industry shift: organizations are moving from periodic vulnerability assessments to more robust, extensible, and continuous programs. The Rapid7 Command Platform was purpose-built to help teams shift from traditionally reactive vulnerability management practices to more effective, proactive, threat-aware approach to exposure management. As we continue to evolve the Command Platform, our mission remains clear: make security operations more effective, scalable, and impactful so defenders move faster and stay ahead of attackers.
