InsightIDR

InsightIDR addresses the complex challenge of detecting and responding to sophisticated attacks in dynamic, multi-cloud and hybrid environments. At its core, InsightIDR is a next-gen cloud SIEM that aggregates data from various sources, including AWS CloudTrail, GuardDuty, on-premises networks, endpoints, and other cloud platforms. This data is centralized in a natively-cloud data lake, enabling diverse log collection, custom log parsing, and flexible search and reporting capabilities.

The architecture of InsightIDR leverages User Behavior Analytics (UBA), industry-leading threat intelligence, and automated workflows to uncover and investigate threats. It employs machine learning to baseline user behavior, automatically alerting on anomalous activities such as stolen credentials or lateral movement. The platform integrates with Rapid7’s threat intelligence network and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services, providing context-rich alerts and recommendations based on real-time user and endpoint data.

Operationally, InsightIDR streamlines incident response through automated workflows and pre-built dashboards. It auto-enriches every log line with user and asset details, correlates events across different data sources, and creates detailed visual investigation timelines. This reduces the manual workload on security analysts and allows for immediate containment actions across endpoints, Active Directory, access management, and firewall tools. However, the scalability of InsightIDR can be limited by data retention costs and the complexity of managing large volumes of data, particularly in multi-asset environments.

Technically, InsightIDR supports a robust library of third-party integrations and uses the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map detections to real-world adversary tactics. The platform is priced per asset, with costs decreasing across asset count tiers, and includes a generous Fair Use Monthly Data Policy that scales with asset tiers to avoid throttling. Overall, InsightIDR is designed for efficient operation in dynamic environments, leveraging automation and integrations to reduce the burden on overworked security teams.
