Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a frontrunner in extended risk and threat detection, has announced its plans to expand in India by establishing a new Global Capability Center (GCC) in Pune. This center will function as both an innovation hub and a Security Operations Center (SOC). The company will also host a series of regional events aimed at engaging with government, educational institutions, and talent stakeholders to reinforce Rapid7’s commitment to helping customers simplify their security measures, manage their attack surfaces, and effectively navigate an evolving threat landscape.
The GCC is set to launch in April 2025, with the goal of enhancing Rapid7’s capacity to deliver continuous, round-the-clock security operations for its expanding global clientele. Recruitment for the new office will focus on assembling a team dedicated to driving innovation in cyber operations, while also contributing to the development of local cybersecurity talent and fostering AI partnerships with businesses and academic organizations.
“Expanding into India is a critical step in accelerating Rapid7’s investments in security operations leadership and customer-centric innovation,” said Corey Thomas, chairman and CEO of Rapid7. “Innovation thrives when multi-dimensional teams come together to solve complex challenges, and this new hub strengthens our ability to deliver the most adaptive, predictive, and responsive cybersecurity solutions to customers worldwide. Establishing a Security Operations Center in Pune also enhances our ability to scale threat detection and response globally while connecting the exceptional technical talent in the region to impactful career opportunities. We are excited to grow a world-class team in India that will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of cybersecurity.”
“Rapid7 is known for its high-performing teams that challenge boundaries and embrace rapid technological change, from generative AI and machine learning to cutting-edge security solutions,” said Swami Nathan, Rapid7 country manager, India. “I’m excited to lead this transformational journey in Pune, where every team member will have the opportunity to grow, drive meaningful impact for our customers, and help shape a more secure digital future.”
Rapid7 is leading discussions on global cyber and AI security policies and the development of related business ecosystems. Continuing this commitment, Sabeen Malik, Rapid7’s Vice President of Global Government Affairs and Public Policy, will participate in a panel at the Raisina Dialogue titled “Concert of Oceans: Towards A Digital Indo-Pacific,” alongside Amit Shukla, Joint Secretary of the Cyber Diplomacy Division at India’s Ministry of External Affairs.
In May, Rapid7 will organize three Security Day events in Mumbai (May 8), Delhi (May 13), and Bangalore (May 15). These gatherings will unite leaders from major corporations, academic institutions, and government to examine the changing cyber threat landscape, share their cybersecurity experiences, and explore the latest innovations in Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), Attack Surface Management (ASM), and Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR). The events are open to Rapid7 customers, prospective clients, and partners.
