Rapid7 named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide MDR Service for Midmarket 2026 Vendor Assessment
Brief
IDC has named Rapid7 a Leader in the 2026 Worldwide Managed Detection and Response Service for Midmarket 2026 Vendor Assessment ( Doc #US52992326, July 2026 ). We believe this recognition and research highlights where MDR is heading.
Many security programs are still built around a reactive sequence of detect, triage, and respond, but the timelines surrounding modern attacks have changed too quickly for that model to hold up on its own. Time-to-exploit has dropped from two years to 22 hours, while eCrime breakout time now sits at 29 minutes. In an environment like that, a program moving at human speed across siloed data, cannot keep pace.
Rapid7’s view is that MDR must evolve accordingly, which is why we have been building toward a more preemptive security model.
