Overview

Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cloud-hosted security information and event management platform. It collects security data from endpoints, cloud services, identity systems, network infrastructure, and third-party security products.

The platform correlates asset, user, log, and behavioral data. Analysts can search events, investigate incidents, manage cases, and perform response actions from a centralized interface.

Rapid7 now presents related capabilities under its broader SIEM and Incident Command product direction. The InsightIDR name remains widely used in product documentation, APIs, integrations, and customer environments.
