Rapid7 has launched Curated Intelligence Rules for AWS Network Firewall, delivering pre-vetted threat intelligence directly inside AWS environments.
Rapid7 has unveiled a new integration designed to streamline cloud security operations, introducing Curated Intelligence Rules for AWS Network Firewall.
The service feeds expert-validated Indicators of Compromise from Rapid7 Labs directly into customers’ AWS environments, replacing the laborious process of manually creating and updating firewall rules.
Rapid7 says its new offering eliminates security gaps by transforming its global intelligence into ready-to-deploy rule groups.
“Integrating our Curated Intelligence Rules directly with AWS Network Firewall transforms world-class threat intelligence into instant, actionable protection,” Craig Adams (pictured), Rapid7’s chief product officer, said in a statement.
“Customers can now deploy defence backed by Rapid7 Labs’ research with just a few clicks, ensuring their security scales as dynamically as their AWS environment. This is game-changing for security teams dealing with the complexity associated with a proliferation of manual rule creation and maintenance.”
Rapid7 sources intelligence from proprietary honeypots, global research initiatives, and open-source communities, including Metasploit and AttackerKB. Machine-learning models and human verification add to the mix. Rule sets update and retire automatically via Rapid7’s Decay Scoring system, ensuring stale indicators do not clog defences.
The rules cover scenarios ranging from blocking ransomware command-and-control traffic to detecting reconnaissance, data exfiltration attempts, and phishing infrastructure.
“In today’s cloud environments, the sheer velocity of new threat campaigns demands more than volume-based threat feeds. It demands curated, high-fidelity intelligence,” Raj Samani, Rapid7’s chief scientist, said.
“Our curated, continuously refined intelligence empowers defenders to disrupt adversaries faster and maintain protection that evolves as dynamically as the threats themselves.”
The launch follows Rapid7’s Q3 Threat Landscape Report, which highlighted a surge in campaigns exploiting newly disclosed vulnerabilities – a trend the company says underlines the need for integrated, actionable intelligence.
