Runecast vs Rapid7
Looking for a fully-featured Cloud Native Application Protection Platform?

Extended support to enforce your Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) in a single platform
Rapid7 provides vulnerability scanning through InsightVM, but for complete guidance and cluster visibility customers must purchase a separate solution: InsightCloudSec.
Runecast provides automated checks against Kubernetes CIS benchmarks, CISA Kubernetes Hardening Guide and BSI IT Grundschutz, as well as vulnerability scanning to ensure visibility into container issues that may lead to potential breaches.
Avoid information silos in your organization by adopting a single source of truth
The Rapid7 Insight platform contains six separate solutions and dashboards. It is a high-quality vulnerability scanner, but not a CNAPP like Runecast.
Runecast provides a single source of truth for DevOps, SecOps, and DevSecOps teams, streamlining reporting, analysis, remediation and adoption of security standards and best practices across the entire environment.


Audit your hybrid cloud continuously with automated best practices analysis
Rapid7 doesn´t provide automated best practices scanning for compliance with industry best practices.
Runecast maintains a database of the latest AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, VMware, SAP HANA, and Pure Storage on vSphere, and vSphere on Nutanix Best Practices and provides custom-tailored scripts to remediate issues found.
Stay audit ready by automating configuration drift monitoring
Rapid7 doesn’t include any capability that allows users to track the changes made on their infrastructure and avoid configuration drift.
Runecast allows users to create baselines to check historical drift in the environment between two selected points in time, along with who made any changes to provide accountability.

Compare Runecast to Rapid7 Insight Platform
Gain Visibility, Reduce Risks
Organizations demand technology solutions that drive transparency of cybersecurity risks. Runecast supports Infrastructure, Security, and Compliance teams with full visibility of their infrastructure and proactive remediation mechanisms all in a single dashboard.

Expanding your peace of mind with a further move into CNAPP
With our upcoming release Runecast is making a bold step towards the future of cloud security. One of our main areas of focus, CNAPP, is expanding and we are too. Not just to keep up, but to be at the forefront of cloud security in both the CNAPP and CSPM space. If you’re not familiar with CNAPP, it’s a relatively new term coined by Gartner and it means Cloud Native Application Protection Platform.

Best Practices Applied and Simplified with Runecast
As technologies evolve and grow over time, so must the best practices covering them. In the same way that we no longer use moats for home security, we need to ensure that our digital security is up to date and ready for the latest challenges.

Configuration Management with Runecast
Configuration management is the process of identifying and tracking configurations of software systems and hardware components. It is used to ensure that changes to a system are made in a controlled and consistent manner. Tracking these changes over time helps to identify and resolve conflicts between different versions of a system.

Running securely on your own infrastructure – whether on-prem, hybrid or public cloud – Runecast automates security and compliance checks for your Kubernetes containers, with insights into what is happening both in the cloud and on-premises. No sensitive company, employee, or customer data ever needs to leave your control.
