Rapid-IR / Response
See everything. Act instantly.
Unified forensic and containment tool across endpoints, cloud, and GenAI systems. One sensor. One interface. Built by the IRT that uses it.
The tool the Profero IRT reaches for first when they pick up your 2 AM call.
The first hour costs you the most
IR practitioners waste critical time stitching together visibility from fragmented tools. One tool for endpoint telemetry. Another for cloud logs. A third for containment. A fourth for forensic collection. Each with its own interface, its own export format, its own access requirements.
During the first hour of an incident, that fragmentation translates directly to attacker dwell time. While your team logs into four consoles and cross-references outputs manually, the threat actor moves laterally.
Cloud infrastructure made it worse. On-prem tools don't see cloud workloads. Cloud-native tools don't see endpoints. GenAI systems introduced a third blind spot: AI agents operating autonomously with real system access, code assistants handling source code and secrets, chat interfaces where sensitive data gets pasted. Traditional endpoint tools weren't designed to see any of it.
How Investigator Works
Unified Endpoint Sensor
Single agent across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Central deployment and control from the Rapid-IR platform. No per-OS tooling fragmentation. No separate management consoles. One sensor covers your entire fleet, reporting to one platform.
Live Data Collection
Investigator collects from live systems in real time. Live memory, running processes, active network connections, file system state, registry data. The difference between catching lateral movement in progress and finding evidence of it afterward.
One-Click Containment
Isolate a compromised endpoint instantly from the Rapid-IR console. One click stops lateral movement while preserving the endpoint's connection to the platform for continued investigation. Containment and investigation happen in parallel.
Forensic Collection
Collect memory dumps, disk images, log archives, and forensic artifacts directly through Investigator. Collections feed into WARP for encrypted transfer and are tied to the incident record automatically. Chain of custody from collection to analysis, logged and auditable.
IOC and Artifact Search
Search across endpoint data, indicators of compromise, and forensic artifacts from a single interface. Query your entire fleet from one search bar. Find the same IOC across hundreds of endpoints in seconds, not hours of manual host-by-host investigation.
GenAI Surface Coverage
Investigator covers the GenAI attack surface that traditional endpoint tools miss entirely. AI code assistants interacting with source code and secrets. Autonomous agents with system-level permissions. Chat interfaces where employees paste credentials and internal data. Visibility into what AI systems are doing, what data they're touching, and what happened when something went wrong.
What Makes It Different
Investigator was designed for one purpose: giving IR practitioners everything they need on a single screen during an active incident.
- Built by responders, not product managers. Every capability was added because a Profero IRT practitioner hit a wall during an active engagement. The feature set reflects what actually matters at 2 AM, not what looks good in a demo.
- One tool across all surfaces. Endpoints, cloud, GenAI. One sensor, one interface, one investigation workflow. Your team doesn't switch tools when the attack crosses boundaries.
- Live, not reconstructed. Most forensic tools work on dead images. Investigator works on live systems. You see what's happening now, contain it now, collect evidence now.
- Platform-integrated. Collections flow into WARP. Findings feed the War Room. Containment actions log to the Audit Trail. IOCs feed Deep Breach Focus. Everything connects to the incident record automatically.
- IRT-operated. When the Profero IRT responds to your incident, they're already proficient with Investigator because they built it. No onboarding. No "let me figure out this tool" delays.
Investigator in the Response Workflow
How Investigator Compares
vs. Traditional EDR
EDR tools focus on detection and automated response. But when the incident requires hands-on forensic investigation, deep containment decisions, and live evidence collection tied to a coordinated response, EDR hands you off. Investigator picks up where EDR stops. It's not a replacement. It's the investigation layer that sits on top.
vs. Standalone Forensic Tools
Open-source forensic tools are powerful but disconnected. Collection results live in their own silo. Containment requires a separate tool. There's no integration with your incident record, your War Room, your evidence chain. Investigator does forensics inside the response platform.
vs. Cloud-Only Investigation Tools
Cloud security tools see cloud. They don't see endpoints. When an attacker pivots from a phished endpoint to a cloud resource, cloud-only tools lose the thread. Investigator follows the attack across both.
vs. No Unified Tool (Manual Stitching)
SSH into boxes, pull logs manually, email artifacts around, track containment in a spreadsheet. This is what Investigator was built to replace. Every hour spent on manual tooling coordination is an hour the attacker keeps moving.
