Rapid7 acquired NetFort, a company that provides end-to-end network traffic visibility and analytics across cloud, virtual and physical networks.
Rapid7 plans to bring NetFort’s network monitoring, visibility and analytics capabilities into its Insight cloud to help customers securely advance.
Rapid7's Insight cloud delivers a combination of network visibility, security analytics, orchestration and automation used by organizations to manage risk, detect and stop attacks, and orchestrate security operations across their modern networks. The Insight cloud processes billions of events and monitors millions of assets daily, collecting and analyzing data from the endpoint to the cloud.
Bringing NetFort’s network monitoring, traffic visibility and analytics capabilities into the Insight cloud will allow Rapid7 to consolidate even more data and analytics into a single platform for security and IT professionals. This will improve their ability to detect attacks, investigate incidents and gain increased visibility into devices that pose a risk to organizations.
“We were immediately impressed by NetFort’s technology and the deep network protocol expertise inherent across the team,” said Lee Weiner, Chief Product Officer at Rapid7. “By bringing NetFort’s network data and analytics to our own platform, we enhance security analysts’ capability to unearth risk, detect attacks, and investigate incidents more effectively.”
John Brosnan, CEO at NetFort, said: “Rapid7 will help us apply our network data insights across their cloud-based platform to improve the security posture of our customers.”
The acquisition of NetFort is not expected to have a material financial impact to Rapid7’s Annualized Recurring Revenue growth, revenue, and non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income per share for calendar year 2019, as guided on February 7, 2019.

Performance monitoring is an old problem. As technology has advanced, we've had to evolve how we monitor applications. Initially, performance monitoring largely involved sending ICMP messages to start troubleshooting a down or slow application. Applications have gotten much more complex, so this is no longer enough.

But how did this evolution take place, and what happens next? Let's find out ...

If you have deployed a Java application in production, you've probably encountered a situation where the application suddenly starts to take up a large amount of CPU. When this happens, application response becomes sluggish and users begin to complain about slow response.

A key question then is: how to troubleshoot high CPU usage of a Java application? ...
Operations are no longer tethered tightly to a main office, as the headquarters-centric model has been retired in favor of a more decentralized enterprise structure.

Key to the success of the decentralized enterprise model is a new generation of collaboration and communication tools ...
