Automation has improved detection workflows and provides real-time visibility across all logs
Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 could be improved in terms of integration of Windows log sources. Rapid 7 SIEM has a feature whereby I can integrate Active Directory. However, when I want to integrate system logs, application logs, and everything from my event viewer, Rapid 7 does not have a customized feature for that. Most times, I have to leverage NXLog, which is not ideal. It would be better to have a ready-to-go plugin for it. Additionally, for InsightConnect, an orchestrator, sometimes when I am integrating with third-party ticketing solutions, SNMP might give me issues. Finally, the TLS feature of Rapid 7 is a bit unreliable.

Automated rules have reduced manual security work and now protect our APIs from modern attacks
I sometimes need to tweak Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules because it is a predefined rule where I adjust it based on our request sizes. Sometimes a rule states that only a 5 MB request is allowed, but we have requests greater than 5 MB, which causes it to block that traffic. I have to adjust the rule and increase the size of the request or payload above 5 MB to resolve this issue. Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules can be improved in that they are mostly general rules and not specific to organizational needs. Being predefined rules, if we have to make any changes, we need to create a rule above or before that cybersecurity rule or a bypass rule. There should be an option to tweak those cloud managed rules to adjust them based on organizational needs, as this has been one challenge we faced. Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules is limited to specific scenarios. For example, AWS WAF can only be used in an AWS scenario, which makes it complex to integrate with on-prem systems.

Pros

"The best feature Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 offers in my experience is the simplicity with which the agent installs on servers."
"Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 is a strong SIEM software as a service offering, and the automation feature has been amazing and provides more visibility."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted my organization by reducing the manual WAF management by fifty percent and accelerating the automated updates and improvement in threat intelligence."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted my organization because earlier, a complete SOC team was required 24/7 for manually checking the alerts, acting upon those alerts, and doing forensics, and with cloud managed rules being automated and intelligent and updating in real time, the manual intervention by the SOC team has been significantly reduced, resulting in a comparatively higher detection rate than before."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted my organization; the impact was great."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules have impacted my organization very positively because my company is security-focused."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted our organization because we are a tech company, so we always prefer to get security first."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted my organization as we have been using it for two years, saving us considerable time because we do not need people to validate traffic or perform any manual deployment anymore."
 

Cons

"Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 could be improved in terms of integration of Windows log sources."
"Sometimes false positives do come across, and we have incidents where people who are actually trying to access are getting blocked out, which is how I think Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules can be improved."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I find it a bit more expensive."
"Sometimes, there is over-blocking within the cloud managed rules where valid requests or IPs could be blocked, which should be fine-tuned to reduce over-blocking."
"I would describe the customer support for Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules as pretty average. They provide a link and then disappear, so I have to do my own research."
