FAQ
What if I am actively using this feature?
Sustaining security support will continue for the next 6 months for active users. After February 19, 2025, you will not be able to use Container Security.
Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to discuss migration options.
How will I be identified as an active or inactive user?
You are considered an active user of Container Security if you’ve manually assessed an image, a container in your environment has been correlated, a supported registry connection has been added, a Kubernetes monitor has been deployed, or you have a CI/CD plugin.
You are considered an inactive user of Container Security if you have not visited the Containers page in InsightVM for 3 consecutive months. After 3 consecutive months of inactivity, the Container Security feature will be removed.

What is Exposure Command?
Exposure Command is a Rapid7 offering that combines the power of complete attack surface visibility with high-fidelity risk context and insight into your organization’s security posture. Findings are aggregated from our native exposure detection capabilities for cloud and on-prem (including containers and Kubernetes) in addition to any third-party exposure and enrichment sources you already have in place.

What are the benefits of Exposure Command?
The capabilities of Exposure Command create a situational awareness that enables teams to zero-in on the exposures and vulnerabilities that attackers may have in their sights by providing threat-aware risk context that can be used to prioritize more efficiently and effectively.
With Exposure Command’s container security capabilities, you can:
- Discover and visualize container clusters, nodes, pods, and images across cloud and on-prem environments.
- Prioritize container vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with additional context, such as public accessibility, attack paths, and application criticality.
- Assess container resources against hundreds of compliance rules and best practices.
- Integrate with Kubernetes admission controller to prevent insecure containers from being deployed.
