Rapid7's 了解平台 has officially achieved Level 2 Texas Risk 和 Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP) authorization. This milestone marks a significant step forward in providing our customers peace-of-mind as well as the best end-to-end cloud security solutions.

According to the official TX-RAMP manual, Level 2 TX-RAMP authorization “is required for cloud computing services that store, 过程, or transmit confidential data of a state agency 和 the cloud computing service is determined to be moderate or high impact information resources.”

This authorization also signifies our unwavering commitment to cybersecurity compliance as well as the people, 流程, 和 technology required to safeguard the confidential data of our customers 和 mitigate an ever-expanding attack surface.

Public-Sector Validation in Texas

像这样, the Rapid7 了解平台 will now be more readily available to customers across the state of Texas, empowering organizations to enhance 和 simplify security operations while delivering risk context across today's hybrid environments.
