The opportunity

Rapid7’s Detection & Response customer practice is focused on attaining and sustaining recognition as a technology, market, and customer satisfaction leader in detection and response solutions. Rapid7 InsightIDR identifies unauthorized access from external and internal threats and highlights suspicious activity so our customers don’t have to weed through thousands of data streams. InsightIDR is differentiated as a cloud-native Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) offering and has been recognized as a Leader in Gartner’s 2020 Magic Quadrant for SIEM. Forrester forecasts the SIEM market will reach $6.1B by 2024. At the same time, Rapid7 is pivoting InsightIDR to simplify incident response and build targeted, high-efficacy detections in the nascent and rapidly growing Extended Detection and Response (XDR) market.

An Insider's view of Rapid7

What does your typical day look like?

For the majority of the day it’s a mix of weekly check-ins with various teams, project updates, and the occasional brainstorm.

When I’m not in meetings I’ve got headphones in while planning, writing, or designing — at my desk or perched somewhere around the office.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

Ive been on many teams in my time at Rapid7 and they have certainly “grown” from a size perspective, but more importantly, they all evolved with the changing times and needs. Some of the teams I was on were critical for our sales grown in an emerging market and though they no longer exist by name, I can see the tangible impact we made.
