The Rapid7 InsightVM trial provides access to the industry’s leading vulnerability management solution. Unlike traditional scanners that require network adjacency or VPN connectivity to scan internal IP ranges, InsightVM offers a "portable" assessment capability through the . This allows organizations to assess the security posture of laptops, remote workers, and cloud instances regardless of their network location, providing a comprehensive view of the modern attack surface.

The first portable component is the , which is a lightweight software agent that collects vulnerability data in real time from endpoints such as workstations, servers, and cloud instances. This agent is used not only for InsightVM but also for other Rapid7 products like InsightIDR, so deploying it once provides comprehensive coverage across your security stack. The agent is extremely lightweight, consuming only 50‑100 MB of disk space and 25‑200 MB of memory, making it suitable for deployment on nearly any endpoint. It operates continuously even on devices that are intermittently connected to the corporate network, such as remote workers’ laptops, gathering data without the need for traditional network scans.
