Rapid7 launches Incident Command to enhance threat detection

BOSTON - Cybersecurity firm Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ:RPD), a $1.46 billion market cap company with robust gross margins of 71%, announced Tuesday the launch of Incident Command, a next-generation Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution built on the company’s Command Platform. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics.

The new offering aims to unify threat detection and response capabilities with attack surface management and threat intelligence. According to the company’s press release, Incident Command incorporates AI-powered workflows trained on playbooks designed by Rapid7’s security operations center experts. With annual revenue of $849 million and expected net income growth this year, Rapid7 continues to invest in innovation despite trading near its 52-week low of $21.61.

Rapid7 claims the solution can automate triage processes with 99.93% accuracy and potentially save security operations teams over 200 hours per week. The system brings together traditionally separate security functions including SIEM, Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR), Attack Surface Management, and threat intelligence into a single interface.

"The launch of Incident Command is a leap toward our mission to simplify access to security outcomes," said Corey Thomas, CEO of Rapid7, in the statement.

Key features highlighted in the announcement include AI capabilities trained on the company’s detection and response data, a unified analyst interface that eliminates context switching, and integration with third-party security tools through the platform’s data architecture.

Michelle Abraham, senior research director at IDC, was quoted noting that "Rapid7 is marrying exposure management capabilities with threat detection and this is a differentiator in a crowded SIEM market."

Rapid7 will showcase the new solution at Black Hat USA in Las Vegas on August 6-7, according to the company statement. Investors should note that Rapid7’s next earnings report is scheduled for August 7, 2025.

In other recent news, Rapid7 reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of 2025. While the company’s revenue and profitability exceeded expectations, its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) fell short due to macroeconomic challenges and issues within the Vulnerability Management sector. The company’s Threat Detection and Response division experienced mid-teens growth, but this was overshadowed by ongoing weakness in its Risk and Exposure Management segment. In terms of future guidance, Rapid7’s second-quarter ARR and revenue projections are slightly below consensus, although profitability expectations are modestly higher. Analyst firm Stifel responded by reducing its price target for Rapid7 to $29, maintaining a Hold rating. Meanwhile, Canaccord Genuity adjusted its price target to $39 but reaffirmed a Buy rating, noting the company’s progress in sales structure and platform capabilities. Rapid7 also achieved FedRAMP Authorization for its InsightGovCloud Platform, enabling it to offer cloud security services to U.S. federal agencies. Additionally, the company launched Active Patching, an automated patching solution, and expanded its AI security capabilities to the AWS Marketplace.
