Introducing Rapid7’s value-added Breach Protection Warranty that delivers confidence, clarity, and coverage when it matters most.
Life’s old adage often applies in security: Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. In today’s threat landscape, even the best-prepared organizations can’t guarantee immunity from cyberattacks. The cost of a breach is no longer just a line item—it’s a business risk with board-level visibility. In 2024, the average total cost of a breach soared to $4.88 million, a record high and a 10% increase from the previous year.1
As threats grow in complexity and breach response becomes more expensive and unpredictable, security leaders aren’t just investing in detection and response—they’re looking for assurance that they are, in fact, prepared for the worst. That’s why Rapid7 is introducing its Breach Protection Warranty: real-world financial coverage, built directly into our flagship Managed Detection and Response (MDR) offering, Managed Threat Complete Ultimate. This coverage is designed to give customers confidence that if that dreaded day comes, they’re ready.
Rapid7 continues to invest heavily in this industry-leading service—trusted by thousands of customers worldwide—which processes trillions of events and investigates millions of alerts annually. Leveraging this immense scale to ensure robust threat detection and rapid response, the results speak for themselves: 99.6% of our MDR customers remain unaffected by ransomware. But beyond numbers, our commitment is clear—we’re dedicated to continuously enhancing MDR capabilities and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers to safeguard their operations.
Built-in financial protection, when it counts
The Rapid7 Breach Protection Warranty provides up to $1 million in breach-related coverage, based on the size of a customer’s environment. It’s designed to offset the real-world costs organizations face in the wake of a cyberattack, including:
- Forensic investigation expenses
- Legal consultation fees
- Public relations costs
- Post-security incident expenses
Unlike standalone breach coverage or third-party insurance policies, this warranty comes at no additional cost to eligible customers. There are no upsells or hidden fees—just value-added protection that’s already embedded in the service.
Integrated into a world-class detection and response program
Rapid7’s holistic and outcome-driven approach to detection and response includes unlimited digital forensics and incident response (DFIR), remote containment, and active remediation of commodity malware. All of these capabilities are amplified by the Rapid7 Command Platform, which seamlessly integrates vulnerability findings and threat intelligence to deliver complete coverage across the entire security incident lifecycle.
Together with the Breach Protection Warranty, this cohesive model transforms your cybersecurity program into one not just backed by technology and expertise, but also a financial safety net built into the service.
Simplifying breach response, not complicating it
A warranty is, at its core, a legal agreement—and it’s understandable that many come with conditions or “strings attached.” Some require customers to exhaust other forms of insurance before coverage kicks in. Others recapture the financial benefit through billable incident response services, which can quietly reduce the actual value received.
Rapid7 takes a different approach. We’ve built the Breach Protection Warranty to maximize customer value with transparency. There are no hidden clauses designed to funnel reimbursement back to us. And because unlimited incident response (IR) is already included in the service, customers don’t need to worry about separate IR contracts or an unexpected changing of the guard in the frenetic aftermath of an incident.
Strengthening resilience through readiness
While financial protection is the headline, eligibility for the warranty reinforces the fundamentals of a strong security posture. Customers must meet a set of best-practice requirements that align with Rapid7’s proven approach to resilience, including but not limited to:
- Hardened endpoint configurations
- Deployment of core protection modules such as Ransomware Prevention
- Updated, compliant operating systems and software across covered assets
These aren’t just checkboxes—they’re meaningful controls that improve visibility, reduce risk, and better prepare customers to prevent and respond to threats; with the added benefit of unlocking a meaningful financial backstop.
