Rapid7 Adds Runtime Validation and DSPM to Exposure Command for Continuous Cloud Risk Validation

The update prioritizes exposures by real breach impact, with live demos set for RSAC 2026 in San Francisco.

Overview

  • Rapid7 announced the upgrade on March 19, adding runtime validation and Data Security Posture Management to its Exposure Command platform.
  • Runtime validation identifies which vulnerabilities and misconfigurations are actively exploitable in live cloud environments.
  • DSPM maps sensitive data and identity access to real attack paths so teams can rank remediation by potential business impact, not severity scores alone.
  • The platform provides continuous runtime visibility using eBPF-based sensors and AI behavior baselining, plus monitoring for AI-driven workloads to detect risky deviations.
  • Automated cloud incident response can pause, quarantine, or kill processes to limit blast radius, with demonstrations scheduled at RSAC 2026 on March 23–26 at booth S-3201.
