Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cloud-based SIEM that provides real-time alerting and investigation tools for detection and response, authentication monitoring, and endpoint visibility. Rapid7 InsightVM (Nexpose) provides vulnerability management, assessment, and response, prioritizing risk across vulnerabilities, configurations, and controls. Rapid7 AppSec manages application vulnerabilities and scans.

This connector includes the following sub-capabilities (Marketplace integrations link to PAN DEV for more information):

* [Rapid7 InsightIDR](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/rapid7-insight-idr): Rapid7’s InsightIDR is your security center for incident detection and response, authentication monitoring, and endpoint visibility. Together, these form Extended Detection and Response (XDR). InsightIDR identifies unauthorized access from external and internal threats and highlights suspicious activity so you don’t have to weed through thousands of data streams. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM or Cortex AgentiX license.
* [Rapid7 Nexpose](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/rapid7-nexpose): Vulnerability management solution to help reduce threat exposure. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM or Cortex AgentiX license with the Exposure Management add-on.
* [rapid7appsec](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/rapid7appsec): Rapid7 AppSec integration allows the management of applications vulnerabilities and scans. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM or Cortex AgentiX license.

To configure this connector, follow the steps outlined in the configuration wizard.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/configure-cortex-xsiam/cortex-xsiam-data-sources/vendor-specific-data-sources-and-connectors/rapid7/rapid7.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
