Rapid7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services & Solutions Case Study

J. Knipper And Company

Introduction

This case study of J. Knipper and Company is based on a June 2022 survey of Rapid7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services & Solutions customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“We migrated from Artic Wolf over to Rapid7 and the amount of noise that we were facing from false positives dropped considerably. We were able to bring on some new threat sources and focus on time on real investigations.”

“Without Rapid7 MDR, our team wouldn’t have the visibility it now has into our threat stack.”

Challenges

  • They decided to adopt a managed detection and response solution:
    • Because they had no existing D&R Program
  • MDR solutions they used previously to Rapid7 MDR:
    • Arctic Wolf MDR
  • Confirmed that prior to implementing Rapid7 MDR, approximately 4 dedicated FTEs were part of their organization’s in-house cybersecurity team.

Use Case

  • The criteria that was most important in their decision to select Rapid7 MDR:
    • Team augmentation
    • Investigation capabilities
    • Containment/Incident response
    • Proactive threat hunting

  • They said “Our detection and response program has greatly improved since partnering with Rapid7 MDR.”
  • How they rate the following capabilities based on experience with Rapid7 MDR:
    • SOC Expertise: Very Good
    • Technology: Very Good
    • Threat detection: Very Good
