Customer Advisor - Managed Application Security
Rapid7’s Managed Application Security service allow customers to extend their application security capabilities from scan management to vulnerability validation to remediation strategy by taking advantage of our dynamic application security testing (DAST) solutions, process and human expertise to deliver a consistent application assessment process.

By partnering with our customers above and beyond the tactical aspects of AppSec, our Customer Advisors work with our customers to drive progress and risk reduction in their security program through tailored recommendations, and regular touch-points to discuss IT security initiatives and associated best practices.
