About the Team
This is the central guiding principle for each member of the Rapid7 team: "What more can we do to help all of us live in a more secure world?" With this mission in mind, we've built InsightIDR, a system designed to detect when customers' environments, including networks, systems, and accounts, are under attack or may have been compromised. We have had massive success, and have thousands of customers for whom we ingest millions of events per second.
These events are enriched with contextual information and sent to both our optimised search engine and suites of intelligent detections, which alert customers if there is any indication of attack or compromise in their environment.
Our Terraform-described stack runs in AWS, coded mostly in Java, and built over a variety of data persistence and queue technologies including SNS/SQS, S3, ElasticSearch, Redis, MySQL and PostgreSQL-flavored RDS and others..
