Case Study: SAI Global achieves rapid global vulnerability visibility and stronger threat detection with Rapid7 (InsightVM & InsightIDR)

Rapid7 Helps SAI Global Weather a Perfect Storm of Complexity and Risk

SAI Global is a 2,600‑employee risk management and standards firm with ~300 developers and a global footprint, running its SAI360 platform across VMware and migrating to Azure and AWS. Because it handles highly sensitive, regulated client data, CISO Peter Macarthur‑King faced a “perfect storm” of complexity: cloud migration, business‑critical in‑house apps, and a globally dispersed workforce that strained legacy vulnerability and threat‑detection tools.

Macarthur‑King chose Rapid7’s InsightVM and InsightIDR; a proof‑of‑concept rolled out across 300 servers and scaled to roughly 4,000 assets within a month. The deployment gave broader visibility, significantly reduced vulnerability exposure, improved remediation accountability via Top 25 Remediations Reports, and created a security culture where product teams own fixes. InsightIDR also delivered daily threat intelligence—spotting compromised credentials, phishing campaigns and risky remote‑work behavior—and the solutions remain manageable by a small team.
