The public sector challenges
Government agencies are the top target for the world's most sophisticated adversaries. The mandate to protect critical infrastructure, citizen data, and national secrets - often with limited budgets and legacy technology - creates an immense security challenge.
Nation-state threats are escalating
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are actively targeting public sector networks for espionage, disruption, and sabotage, making advanced detection and response critical.
Growing gaps in resources & staffing
Budget constraints and a severe shortage of cybersecurity talent make it difficult for agencies to maintain a 24/7 defense posture against persistent attackers.
Complex environments from legacy to cloud
Modernizing IT while securing legacy systems, OT/ICS environments, and multi-cloud deployments creates dangerous visibility gaps that adversaries can exploit.

The unified approach to government compliance
Ensure your agency's mission success with Rapid7's unified platform, providing comprehensive visibility to identify, mitigate, and remediate vulnerabilities. Our solutions facilitate compliance with stringent federal cybersecurity mandates including FedRamp, DoD's CORA, BOD 23-01, and CMMC standards.
Rapid7's tools have been instrumental in helping us identify vulnerabilities before they become critical issues and integrate seamlessly with our existing systems. This integration has been invaluable for us.
We wanted to work with somebody that had the ability and the resources to meet our requirements and our customer requirements. We selected Rapid7 because we needed everybody on the same page and operating from the same playbook when it came to standards and compliance across all public cloud environments.
