Rapid7, Inc., a leader in threat detection and exposure management, has announced a strategic partnership with ARMO, creators of the open-source Kubescape platform and innovators in Cloud Application Detection & Response (CADR). The collaboration integrates ARMO’s advanced runtime security capabilities into the Rapid7 Command Platform, extending exposure management with continuous anomaly detection and real-time threat detection and response across active cloud assets and workloads.

  • Rapid7 partners with ARMO to deliver full cloud and application runtime security within the Rapid7 Command Platform.
  • New capabilities provide real-time detection of active threats, including API attacks, data exfiltration, and container breakouts.
  • Runtime events correlate with misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and identity risks for unified, prioritized visibility.
  • Security teams can isolate compromised workloads or terminate malicious processes to stop lateral movement instantly.
  • The solution integrates seamlessly with AWS, Azure, and multicloud environments.
  • Partnership advances Rapid7’s exposure management approach, enabling preemptive response over reactive defense.

Enhancing Exposure Management with Runtime Visibility

Modern cloud attacks exploit small, interconnected gaps in dynamic environments. By combining Rapid7’s broad attack surface coverage with ARMO’s runtime-powered CADR, organizations gain unified insight into exposures and active threats. This allows security, development, and IT teams to reduce risk earlier, respond faster, and operate more efficiently while building true cyber resilience.

“By extending our exposure management leadership with runtime from ARMO, we’re giving organizations clearer visibility, faster response, and better security outcomes,” said Corey Thomas, CEO at Rapid7. “This is another important step in our commitment to delivering unified, open security with exposure context that enables security teams to move from reactive defense to preemptive response.”

Real-Time Threat Detection and Response

The integrated solution empowers teams to:

  • Detect live attacks with awareness from application to cloud-level threats.
  • Correlate runtime signals with exposure data for precise prioritization.
  • Respond immediately by isolating workloads or terminating processes.
  • Maintain seamless integration across major cloud providers.

“Our team built ARMO to bring the most advanced runtime-powered, open-source first, behavioral Cloud Runtime Security to every Kubernetes and cloud-native environment,” said Shauli Rozen, co-founder and CEO of ARMO. “Rapid7 shares that philosophy. By combining their breadth—across exposure management, detection and response, and cloud security—with our runtime security technology, we are delivering the most advanced cloud defense solution that is both modern and practical. Together, we’re helping organizations detect real attacks as they happen and protect the infrastructure their businesses rely on.”

Industry Perspective

“As enterprises face increasingly fragmented and complex cloud threats, the need for full visibility across all cloud environments continues to be paramount. Rapid7’s partnership with ARMO helps to meet that market need by connecting the dots between proactive exposure management and real-time threat detection & response,” said Philip Bues, senior research manager, IDC Security and Trust. “This addition to Rapid7’s capabilities enables security teams to better correlate exposures with active threats and prioritize remediation based on operational risk, supporting both security objectives and business continuity.”

This partnership strengthens Rapid7’s position in delivering comprehensive, context-aware security that addresses the full lifecycle of cloud threats—from exposure identification to real-time response.
