Integration Allows Global Customers to Proactively Manage IT Security Risk by Automating the Collection and Analysis of Security and Compliance Data

Boston, MA and Atlanta, GA - December 27, 2010 - Rapid7®, the leading provider of unified vulnerability management and penetration testing solutions, and Modulo, a leading provider of enterprise governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced a technology integration that enables global customers to better manage their organizations' risk by automating the collection and analysis of security intelligence across IT assets. Critical vulnerability, misconfiguration and policy violation data identified by Rapid7 NeXpose® scans can then be assessed, prioritized and remediated by Modulo Risk Manager™ NG to centrally manage, track and report security and compliance risks and make more informed business decisions.

"The effective management of risk has become a global business priority. With the threat landscape changing constantly, a striking increase in internal threats and a demanding regulatory environment, it is critical that organizations automate and integrate their vulnerability and GRC management programs for real-time visibility into their enterprise-wide risk and compliance posture," said Mike Tuchen, president and CEO for Rapid7.

Rapid7 NeXpose is the only integrated vulnerability management solution that allows organizations to manage network, operating system, Web application and database security strategies.

Additionally, NeXpose is the only vulnerability management solution to use real exploit intelligence to perform risk classification and deliver prioritized remediation reports.

"This important partnership brings together two of the industry's most widely used and proven solutions. Customers will benefit from the intelligent data they need to meet today's business imperatives while reducing operational costs - and can scale to meet the demands of even the largest enterprises," said Alvaro Lima, president and CEO for Modulo.

The Modulo Risk Manager NG governance, risk and compliance management solution allows the platform to consistently and repeat-ably demonstrate multi-regulatory compliance, pass demanding audits and reduce security threats before they cause costly damage to the organization - while eliminating duplication of effort through automation. Modulo NG brings together product innovation based on feedback from more than 1,000 customers and 25 years experience in the GRC space. Ease of deployment and use, straightforward integration and a distinctive emphasis on worldwide requirements are a few areas in which Modulo is recognized.
