Case Study: Rapid7 strengthens network security and observability with Amazon Web Services

Rapid7 Strengthens Network Security Using AWS Network Firewall

Rapid7, a security software company with more than 400 firewall endpoints and over five million network connections per day, wanted to strengthen its network security posture while improving observability and scalability. To do this, Rapid7 used Amazon Web Services, specifically AWS Network Firewall and AWS Resource Access Manager, to roll out centralized rules across its distributed environment with minimal downtime.

Amazon Web Services helped Rapid7 deploy AWS Network Firewall across all accounts in just one month using Terraform automation, enabling rule updates in seconds and new endpoints in minutes. The result was virtually no customer downtime, better fine-grained visibility into traffic, faster audit evidence collection, and seamless scaling to handle high traffic volumes with little ongoing effort from the team.
