Rapid7, Inc. adds ARMO runtime security to Command Platform

Rapid7 announced a strategic partnership with ARMO to bring full cloud and application runtime security to the Rapid7 Command Platform; the release said the new runtime capabilities reduced cloud risk and helped security teams respond to active threats.

The release said the integration extended Rapid7’s exposure management approach by adding cloud runtime visibility to existing attack surface coverage, enabling organizations to identify risk earlier, operate more efficiently, and build cyber resilience.

The integration added continuous anomaly detection and real-time detection and response across active cloud assets and workloads, delivering live awareness of application-level and cloud-level threats, Application Programming Interface (API) attacks, data exfiltration, and container breakout attempts. It also correlated runtime events with misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and identity risks to present a single view of risk and active attacks and offered response actions such as isolating compromised workloads or terminating malicious processes.

Rapid7 described the work as bringing Cloud Application Detection & Response (CADR) to the Command Platform and noted the capability was part of Exposure Command Ultimate; ARMO was identified as the creator of the open-source, cloud-native security platform Kubescape.

“By extending our exposure management leadership with runtime from ARMO, we’re giving organizations clearer visibility, faster response, and better security outcomes,” said Corey Thomas. “As enterprises face increasingly fragmented and complex cloud threats, the need for full visibility across all cloud environments continues to be paramount,” said Philip Bues.

Rapid7 said the cloud runtime security capability was delivered as part of Exposure Command Ultimate on the Rapid7 Command Platform.
