"Providing organizations with deeper insight and data around their network vulnerabilities is critical to helping them identify, test and analyze these potential security issues faster and more efficiently. We have partnered with Rapid7, an industry leader in Cybe Security, to ensure our policyholders have access to resources that can help keep their networks secure." "Today's security teams are increasingly understaffed and overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work that's required to keep their organizations secure," says Todd Lefkowitz, vice president of global services at Rapid7.
