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.
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.”
The integrated solution empowers teams to:
“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.”
“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.
