Case Study: Redflex Traffic Systems achieves proactive security and compliance with Rapid7 Nexpose

Nexpose Busts Security Violations at Redflex Traffic Systems

Redflex Traffic Systems, a long-standing U.S. road‑safety camera provider that processes traffic video and financial transactions, needed to meet strict audit and data‑protection standards (SAS 70/PCI DSS). When Information Security Specialist Eric Nooden joined, he found many out‑of‑date Windows and Unix servers and an undermanaged, reactive security posture—administrators were reluctant to patch for fear of outages and no one had time to manage security tools.

Nooden used Rapid7 Nexpose Enterprise to scan databases, web servers, network devices and endpoints; the tool found default passwords, unpatched OS vulnerabilities and provided prioritized, step‑by‑step remediation. Daily and scheduled scans, Rapid7 support and professional services enabled a secure database upgrade, improved compliance, eliminated other scanners, reduced false positives and gave the team greater operational confidence.
