Rapid7, Inc. has announced a groundbreaking development in its global security operations center (SOC) teams. The company's Rapid7 AI Engine, which serves as the backbone of its Insight Platform, now boasts cutting-edge generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, revolutionizing the delivery of its industry-leading managed detection and response (MDR) services.
The Rapid7 AI Engine, a powerful analytics engine, assists the company's global SOC team throughout the entire attack lifecycle. By leveraging a vast and diverse set of risk and threat data, the engine enhances threat detection and alert triage, automatically distinguishing between malicious and benign alerts. The integration of both traditional machine learning (ML) and generative AI models provides a multi-layered approach to validate the accuracy of security alert labeling. This innovative approach allows Rapid7 analysts to focus their efforts on investigating critical security signals rather than wasting time on false positives.
Laura Ellis, vice president of data and AI at Rapid7, emphasizes the company's long-standing commitment to pioneering AI technologies. "For years, we've pioneered the application of AI technologies, establishing patented models and incorporating them into our technologies to better and more efficiently solve customer challenges," Ellis stated. "We remain at the forefront with generative AI, enhancing our world-class MDR services, ensuring that we continue to deliver unparalleled results for our customers."
