The difference between UnderDefense and Rapid7 at a glance

UnderDefense MDR

Rapid7

Seamless integration: Leverage Your Existing Security Investments

UnderDefense MAXI platform integrates seamlessly with your security infrastructure. This eliminates the need for a costly and time-consuming rip-and-replace of your current security stack. UnderDefense MAXI acts as a central hub, ingesting data from your existing tools and enriching it with our advanced threat intelligence.

While Rapid7 offers integration capabilities, their platform might require more effort to integrate with your existing security landscape, especially if you're not already heavily invested in their security suite.

Holistic vs. Segmented Cybersecurity

While UnderDefense excels in MDR, we provide a full spectrum of tailored industry-specific services that make our MDR solution truly unique. In addition, UnderDefense MAXI, our advanced MDR platform, allows to detect, triage, and enrich in minutes.

Rapid7 offers great MDR with a heavy emphasis on detection, investigation, and response. However, their solutions are siloed, so each part of security has to be managed and coordinated separately. This segmented approach lacks the holistic integration that many organizations need for streamlined security management.

Unparalleled transparency: See what we see, understand how we protect

UnderDefense prioritizes transparency. Our approach lets you see what our Security Operations Center (SOC) sees. You can witness their investigation process firsthand, understand the rationale behind their decisions, and gain confidence in their ability to safeguard your systems.

Rapid7 may provide less transparency compared to UnderDefense. Their reporting and updates are more generic or less frequent. Communication could be restricted through ticketing systems or designated account managers, creating additional separation between you and the security team handling your concerns.

Rapid7 offers a broader range of security services, which can be a plus for organizations seeking a one-stop shop. However, this broader focus might mean their MDR expertise is spread across various services.

UnderDefense goes all-in on MDR. This singular focus allows us to cultivate a team of security specialists laser-focused on threat detection, investigation, and response. Our expertise is honed through continuous research, real-world experience, and developing industry-leading practices specifically tailored to MDR.
