We use the solution to detect and prevent attacks. Penetration testing aims to prove vulnerabilities. The vulnerability scanning results provide key IDs that can be explored using tools like Rapid7 Metasploit.

I use it for scanning purposes, particularly focusing on systems Rapid7 Exposed or managed through Rapid7 InsightVM.

We are using the solution to assess vulnerabilities. We have aligned the solution with our information assets, such as the multiple plants we have. We have aligned Rapid7 Metasploit with the IP addresses, given the range of the IPs, and we scan it by using this Rapid7 Metasploit to identify vulnerabilities. We do this on a quarterly basis, but if any critical vulnerabilities, such as zero days, are identified, we immediately remediate them or take action until the patch has been deployed.

The last use case is for customers that want to use the features of Metasploit, for phishing detection. We give awareness about phishing on their email accounts in the organization.

We mainly use Rapid7 Metasploit for the network penetration testing activities. We have used the payload during our penetration testing activities.

I used the community edition. It's a very handy and powerful product. For a free product, the capabilities are absolutely astonishing. I used Rapid7 Metasploit as a marketing solution. I was working as a security expert and whenever I would meet a client as a consultant or a freelancer, I would open my laptop and start using the software. Rapid7 Metasploit is a standalone solution, intended to be used by one person, but it can be used by a few people in a team — maybe 10 people or less.

We are a solution provider and we offer a variety of services that include security and vulnerability management. Rapid7 Metasploit is one of the products that we use to identify vulnerabilities. Specifically, Metasploit is for penetration testing. It uses models to check for exploitable vulnerabilities, and if one is detected then we would raise the importance of solving the problem. We normally operate Metasploit at the client site, which helps us to explore and assess the vulnerabilities directly in the environment.

I use this solution to check if there are any vulnerabilities that I find during scanning.

Vulnerability management also involves fixes and patches to repair those threats and vulnerabilities. It is generally accomplished in combination with additional risk assessment and...
