Case Study: AutomationDirect achieves stronger security awareness and PCI compliance with Rapid7 Metasploit Pro
A Rapid7 Case Study
Rapid7 Metasploit Changes the Security Mindset at AutomationDirect
Automation Direct, a leading supplier of industrial automation equipment, needed to strengthen security awareness across its IT team and stay ahead of threats while meeting PCI DSS requirements. The company wanted commercial-grade vulnerability and penetration testing tools, and turned to Rapid7, using Nexpose Enterprise Edition and Metasploit Pro to replace a limited freeware approach.
Rapid7 implemented a combined solution for vulnerability scanning and penetration testing across Automation Direct’s data center, networks, and web servers. The results changed administrators’ mindset, improved risk assessment and remediation, and saved significant man-hours through automated reporting; the team also received quarterly PCI compliance testing from Rapid7.
