Case Study: Real Estate Development Company achieves stronger cybersecurity and automated security operations with Rapid7

Real Estate Development Company - Customer Case Study

Real Estate Development Company, a commercial real estate developer, faced the challenge of securing a distributed environment with remote sites and users while managing patching, alerts, and user/asset changes with a small security team. Although not heavily regulated, the company chose to follow CIS and NIST standards and turned to Rapid7 products including InsightVM, InsightIDR, Metasploit, Insight Agent, InsightConnect, and MDR to improve visibility and control.

Rapid7 implemented a connected security stack that centralized logs and alerts in InsightIDR, expanded endpoint and vulnerability visibility with InsightVM and Insight Agent, and automated onboarding, patching, and response workflows with InsightConnect. The results were significant: onboarding time dropped from 5–6 hours to 5–6 minutes, saving about 30 hours per week, while near real-time monitoring, automated remediation, and better reporting improved risk management and helped stop threats before they caused breaches, data loss, or reputational damage.
