In my role, my main use case for Rapid7 InsightCloudSec is for vulnerability management, where I scan my machines to see zero-day vulnerabilities and receive remediation tactics recommended by Rapid7 after scanning different vulnerabilities, thus providing insights or recommendations on how to tackle them. Pen testing is another use case where we have assets enrolled with Rapid7 agent. We scan those assets in batches because our company is very large, creating groups based on specific IP addresses and scheduling scans accordingly.

My main use case for Rapid7 InsightCloudSec is vulnerability management, where I can see the vulnerable servers and the vulnerabilities related to them so that I can patch and fix them. The next use case is log management, which I am currently using as well. We have applications where we collect logs from those applications, and that is also being done in Rapid7. For vulnerability management, I use Rapid7 InsightCloudSec in my daily workflow by discovering multiple servers in our AWS accounts. Those AWS servers are discovered in Rapid7, and I can see the vulnerability, the CVE numbers, and all the critical vulnerabilities related to them so that I can fix them and we can stop cyber attacks or attacks related to those vulnerabilities before they happen. This is how it helps us in vulnerability management. I also use Rapid7 InsightCloudSec as log management, so all our EKS clusters and every application send logs to Rapid7, making it very quick to search for logs, which is a useful aspect of Rapid7 InsightCloudSec.
My main use case for Rapid7 InsightCloudSec is scanning the agents and finding which vulnerabilities are reported from those servers. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec itself provides suggestions on what remediation steps need to be taken, so accordingly, we can act on those. A specific example of how I use Rapid7 InsightCloudSec for scanning and remediation in my day-to-day work is that Rapid7 InsightCloudSec agents installed on each server run every four hours a day. During those periods, they do a complete scan of the server, reporting the details they find to Rapid7 InsightCloudSec console. In that dashboard, everything is displayed, so whenever a user needs to check a specific server, they can see the dashboard and find out all the vulnerabilities showing from that server. We can also do an ad hoc scan whenever we need, which is also possible. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec is hosted on-premises in my organization.
The organization I'm currently contracting for uses it for their estate. They're using Kubernetes and moving their entire estate into it, so I'm getting Rapid7 running in Kubernetes.

We have been using it for almost four years. We are one of the top first customers who implemented it. It's a cloud security solution.
