Best for Cloud-Native, Mid-Market SOC (Recommended)

Rapid7 MDR

Managed detection on the InsightIDR platform with transparent SOC access

Rapid7 MDR delivers 24/7 managed detection and response on top of the InsightIDR cloud SIEM, combining endpoint, network and user-behaviour analytics with a Rapid7 SOC that hunts and responds. It is a strong mid-market choice: cloud-native, fast to onboard, with user-based pricing and unusually transparent access to the analysts and the underlying detection logic. Rapid7 also pairs MDR with vulnerability management on the same Insight platform.

What is Rapid7 MDR

Cloud-native managed detection on InsightIDR

Rapid7 MDR is a 24/7 managed detection and response service built on InsightIDR, Rapid7's cloud SIEM. A Rapid7 SOC monitors your telemetry, runs proactive threat hunts and takes response actions to contain validated threats, all on a platform designed for transparency.

Because InsightIDR and InsightVM share the Insight platform, organisations can connect what is being attacked with what is actually exploitable, closing the loop between detection and exposure.

Transparent
SOC Operations

Rapid7's hallmark is openness: you see the detections, the investigation timelines and the SOC's reasoning, rather than receiving black-box verdicts you cannot audit.

  • 24/7 managed detection and active response
  • InsightIDR cloud SIEM with user-behaviour analytics
  • Transparent, shared investigation visibility
  • Optional unification with InsightVM exposure management

Rapid7 MDR Highlights

A cloud-native SOC with the receipts

Rapid7 MDR is built on InsightIDR, so detections, investigations and threat hunts all happen on a transparent cloud platform you can see into, not a black box.

MDR and vulnerability management on one Insight platform

InsightIDR

Cloud SIEM plus UEBA under the SOC

Rapid7 MDR runs on InsightIDR, which blends log analytics, endpoint telemetry and user-behaviour analytics, giving analysts rich context for every investigation.

Transparency

See the same data the analysts see

Rapid7 is known for an open relationship: you get visibility into detections, investigation timelines and the SOC's reasoning, rather than opaque escalations.

Active response

Containment, not just notification

The Rapid7 SOC can take response actions to contain validated threats, and works with your team on remediation through a clear, documented workflow.

Unified platform

Detection and exposure on one platform

Because InsightIDR and InsightVM share the Insight platform, MDR detections can be correlated with the vulnerabilities attackers are actually exploiting.

Who should put Rapid7 MDR on the shortlist

  • Cloud-forward mid-market organisations that want a SOC without building one

  • Teams that value transparency and shared visibility into the SOC's work

  • Organisations already using or considering Rapid7 InsightVM for vulnerability management

  • Buyers who prefer predictable user-based pricing over event-volume billing

  • Security teams that want UEBA and attacker-behaviour analytics in their detections

What to consider

The honest watch-outs

Every platform has trade-offs. We would rather raise these now than have you discover them three months into a deployment.

Mid-range pricing, mid-market sweet spot

Rapid7 MDR is strongest for cloud-forward mid-market organisations. The very largest enterprises with bespoke SOC requirements sometimes prefer a more customised platform.

Faq

What platform does Rapid7 MDR run on?

It runs on InsightIDR, Rapid7's cloud SIEM with user-behaviour analytics. That means MDR detections, investigations and hunts all sit on a transparent platform you can see into, and can be correlated with InsightVM vulnerability data.
