BOSTON and PRAGUE, Czech Republic, Oct. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a leader in extended risk and threat detection, today announced the opening of its Prague office. The company opened its office doors yesterday at Praga Office Garden, Pernerova 702/39, Praha 8 – Karlín and welcomed its local Rapid7 employees. This new location will serve as a hub for technical talent and innovation and the future home of a new Security Operations Center (SOC) as the company continues its mission of creating a more secure digital future for all.
The new SOC will supplement Rapid7’s existing SOC facilities, maximize quality and readiness, and enhance the company’s ability to deliver global 24×7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to its customers. The SOC will be staffed with Rapid7’s expert analysts who will investigate alerts, respond to incidents, and work closely with detection engineers to ensure that Rapid7 customers are protected.

The Boston-based cybersecurity company has roughly 2,300 employees, four North American offices, and 15 offices across Europe, Asia-Pacific and Australia.
