Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a leading provider of security data and analytics solutions, has been awarded CREST membership, which recognizes the consistently high standard of service provided by Rapid7. Specifically, Rapid7 was approved for the delivery of penetration testing services, a cornerstone of the Rapid7 Global Services portfolio.

The process identifies and clearly documents the risks posed to an organisation from the perspective of a motivated and skilled attacker.

CREST works to provide organisations with confidence that they’re hiring qualified individuals with up-to-date knowledge, skills and competence of the latest vulnerabilities and techniques used by real attackers.
