Solution	Visier adopted the Rapid7 portfolio to address their security challenges. The portfolio included InsightIDR, which provided a fantastic event correlation, detection, and alerting engine, and also offered a key view into the investigation of any potential incidents. InsightVM, another tool from the Rapid7 portfolio, was used as a scan engine for their vulnerability management program. It was used in both office and data center environments to scan all of the hosts, providing deep insight into the vulnerabilities that may be exposed, and helping to inform remediation plans. AppSpider, another tool from Rapid7, offered great depth in terms of assessing applications. The integration of InsightIDR and InsightVM allowed Visier to correlate vulnerability data with various sources of event data, thus providing a comprehensive view of potential threats and vulnerabilities.
