Hey folks! 👋 I’ve been trialing a bunch of cloud security posture management tools lately, and I finally got my hands on Rapid7 InsightCloudSec. Our dev team has a couple of air-gapped environments (for compliance reasons), so I was really curious about the offline scanning feature.
I set up a test in our isolated staging environment last week. The documentation was decent, but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s run this in production. A few things I noticed:
* The agent-based collector for pulling asset data was straightforward to deploy. It felt similar to setting up some marketing automation tracking containers.
* Getting the vulnerability and config scan data *out* of the air-gapped network and into the InsightCloudSec console was a manual upload process. It worked, but it adds a step.
* I’m still figuring out how fresh the data feels. In marketing, we live on real-time analytics, but I know security scans are different.
My main questions for anyone with experience:
* How often are you running these offline scans to stay effective without being disruptive?
* Does the offline scanning cover everything the cloud-connected version does, especially around IAM roles and compliance benchmarks?
* Any gotchas with the data format or size when doing the manual uploads?
Really impressed with the tool overall for our connected clouds! Just trying to gauge if the offline workflow is sustainable long-term for these isolated segments. Thanks in advance for any tips!
