Rapid7 has purchased IntSights for $335 million to provide customers with a unified view into threats, attack surface monitoring, relevant insights, and proactive threat mitigation.
The Boston-based cybersecurity company said its acquisition of New York-based threat intelligence startup IntSights will enhance Rapid7’s extended detection and response (XDR) offering with alerts that ensure efficient security operations, earlier threat detection, and accelerated response times. The IntSights cash and stock deal is the largest acquisition in Rapid7’s 22-year history, surpassing its April 2020 purchase of DivvyCloud.
