As developers deliver applications at the speed of devops, through remote and distributed workforces, modern application environments are becoming more complex and challenging to secure. Application security requires strong cross-functional collaboration spanning groups responsible for security, software development and operations, as well as the ability to quickly scale and provide timely insights into the current state of activities. Rapid7’s best-in-class application security portfolio, part of the company’s broader security operations platform, offers users a seamless experience, generating application security insights for key stakeholders across the software delivery lifecycle (SDLC) to quickly remediate vulnerabilities and reduce risk.

We’re honored to be recognized by Gartner for our application security capabilities and look forward to continuing to deliver innovative experiences that keep businesses secure.”
