Powering your day-to-day with expert intelligence

We believe in rapid platform integration: driving a straight line from every Rapid7 Labs discovery to improving your security program now, today. Rapid7 Labs tracks adversaries, shares proprietary, curated intelligence and research, and builds trusted open-source communities. We all created the internet together. That’s how we’ll secure it.

11,000+ customers are safer, and so is everybody else

Curated threat intel and AI, baked in

Rapid7 Labs holds a slew of AI patents that power risk and threat analysis, and detect threats faster and prioritize vulnerabilities better.

Research: big issues & emergent threats

In the first half of 2023, we tracked 79 state-sponsored attacks. Labs uncovers emergent threats, zero-days, and our future.

Security communities for everyone

Our open-source projects like Metasploit, Velociraptor, and AttackerKB have bi-directional feeds into our platform solutions.

Internet-scale data and research

Get easy insight into public internet exposure with Project Doppler, informed by Sonar scans and our honeypot network Project Lorelei.





Actionable vulnerability intelligence

Adversaries are evolving operations and using both new and known vulnerabilities. Each year, Rapid7 Labs analyzes thousands of vulns in order to identify their root causes, reveal attacker behaviors, and provide practical, next-step guidance for your most critical moments.

Elite research and intelligence teams doing unambiguous good
