Case Study: City of Corpus Christi achieves prioritized vulnerability remediation and continuous threat monitoring with Rapid7

City of Corpus Christi - Customer Case Study

The City of Corpus Christi hired Information Security Manager Bob Jones to build a comprehensive security program for roughly 3,500 employees across a complex, departmentized municipal infrastructure. He faced limited visibility into assets and user behavior, cultural resistance to change, and the need to prioritize remediation so the organization could detect, investigate, and reduce real risk rather than chasing every theoretical issue.

Bob deployed Rapid7 Nexpose, Metasploit Pro, and InsightUBA to gain broad asset visibility, automate vulnerability enumeration and validation, and surface risky user activity. The tools delivered actionable reports and faster incident investigations, improved alignment with IT operations, and helped cut missing patches by about 75%, resulting in stronger endpoint defenses and quicker, more effective remediation.
