Rapid7 Acquires NetFort
April 2019 by Marc Jacob
Rapid7, Inc. announced it has acquired
NetFort, a company that provides end-to-end network traffic visibility and analytics
across cloud, virtual and physical networks. Rapid7 plans to bring NetFort’s
network monitoring, visibility and analytics capabilities into its Insight cloud to
help customers securely advance.
Rapid7’s Insight cloud delivers a unique combination of network visibility, security
analytics, orchestration and automation used by organizations to manage risk, detect
and stop attacks, and orchestrate security operations across their modern networks.
The Insight cloud processes billions of events and monitors millions of assets
daily, collecting and analyzing data from the endpoint to the cloud.
Bringing NetFort’s network monitoring, traffic visibility and analytics
capabilities into the Insight cloud will allow Rapid7 to consolidate even more data
and analytics into a single platform for security and IT professionals. This will
improve their ability to detect attacks, investigate incidents and gain increased
visibility into devices that pose a risk to organizations.
The acquisition of NetFort is not expected to have a material financial impact to
Rapid7’s Annualized Recurring Revenue growth, revenue, non-GAAP operating income,
and non-GAAP net income per share for calendar year 2019, as guided on February 7,
2019.
