Rapid7, Inc. (RPD) has announced the launch of Active Patching, an innovative automated patching and remediation solution integrated into its Exposure Command platform. This new offering is powered by Automox’s Autonomous Endpoint Management platform, allowing security and IT teams to automatically address system vulnerabilities.
Active Patching delivers real-time visibility into systems requiring patches, automated remediation workflows, and protection for assets without available fixes through virtual patching templates. It provides comprehensive coverage for Linux, MacOS, and Windows operating systems, as well as their third-party software, combining contextual insights and threat intelligence from Rapid7 Labs to efficiently prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities.
This integration empowers organizations to proactively mitigate risk on vulnerable assets, reducing manual processes and enhancing response times to vulnerabilities. By automating the remediation process, Rapid7 helps security teams reduce their mean time to remediate (MTTR), a critical metric for security effectiveness.
In collaboration with Automox, Rapid7 is strengthening its competitive position in the cybersecurity market against rivals like Tenable, Qualys, and CrowdStrike by offering end-to-end vulnerability management. This new capability aligns with industry trends towards consolidation and automation in security tools, making Rapid7 an attractive choice for enterprises aiming to minimize their security vendor footprint while increasing operational efficiency.
