Fewer False Alarms, Faster Reporting: InsightVM Introduces New One-Click Fix For False Positives

Let’s talk about false positives. They’re frustrating and faulty, but also about as certain as death and taxes for anyone working in IT security. The good news? We’ve added even more ways to reduce the noise they cause.

According to Forrester Consulting’s 2019 study, customers have experienced a 22% reduction in false positive alerts when switching from a competitor to InsightVM, Rapid7’s vulnerability risk management solution. That’s a lot of time back in your day,

but what about the false positives that inevitably sneak through? Well we’ve got a new, faster solution for that.

InsightVM allows you to investigate vulnerable results as potential false positives directly from the Security Console. If your investigation shows that the result could be a false positive, you can report the findings to the Rapid7 Support team in a single mouse-click.

Investigate. Scan. Report. Yep, it’s that easy.

What does this one click fix mean for you? We automated the reporting process so you can spend less time troubleshooting false positives and more time focusing on what’s important. It’s a little piece of functionality that gives you big peace of mind. For more details, check out our help documentation.
