Rapid7 secures seventh straight spot in Gartner SIEM report

Rapid7 has been recognised in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) for the seventh year in succession.

The placement highlights an ongoing presence for Rapid7 in Gartner's annual evaluation of SIEM providers, with the company's continued recognition reflecting a sustained commitment to SIEM and broader exposure management capabilities.

Rapid7's InsightIDR SIEM solution delivers an ecosystem designed for detection and response, using a security-role interface and an analyst-first experience. Its features are subject to ongoing validation by Rapid7's own Security Operations Centre (SOC) to align with practical, real-world security needs.

Industry analyst firms have given Rapid7 positive attention in recent months. Alongside its inclusion in the Magic Quadrant, the company has appeared in Forrester's Unified Vulnerability Management Solutions Wave, the Frost Radar for Managed Detection and Response, and the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Exposure Management 2025 Vendor Assessment.

Craig Adams, chief product officer at Rapid7, commented on the company's approach to SIEM, stating,

"Security teams need SIEM solutions that reduce noise and unify operations. To us, this recognition reflects our commitment to delivering speed, clarity, and actionable insights through integrated workflows. With the launch of Incident Command, our AI-native SIEM powered by Agentic AI workflows built from our own SOC playbooks, we're doubling down on that commitment to security teams, bringing precision, automation, and scale to modern SOC teams."

According to the company, InsightIDR's continued adoption in the market has been fuelled by its architecture, which enables integration with analytics, automation tools, and data collection across cloud and endpoint environments, including Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).

Rapid7's managed services are built to extend this platform, enabling customers to combine SIEM with Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. The company states this integration aims to deliver comprehensive threat detection and incident response (TDIR) outcomes by blending technology with expert-led services.

The SIEM solution has focused on helping security teams improve threat detection speeds, centralise investigation workflows, and reduce alert fatigue, factors that remain significant pain points for many organisations. Rapid7 recently updated its SIEM offering with the introduction of Incident Command, the latest iteration designed to further unify visibility and response capabilities.

Incident Command is built on the Rapid7 Command Platform and aims to address detection, investigation, and response from a centralised interface. Rapid7 describes several core features of Incident Command, including:

• Strong correlation between the attack and detection surface with integrated Attack Surface Management (ASM) and threat detection for context and prioritisation.
• Enriched investigations supported by embedded, curated threat intelligence.
• Accelerated response processes using AI triage, autonomous investigation workflows, and natural language threat hunting.
• Automated and orchestrated remediation enabled across the environment to help streamline and simplify mitigation efforts.

These additions reflect Rapid7's focus on aligning technology and operational services with modern security team requirements, particularly as organisations contend with increasingly complex digital environments and security challenges.
