Vulnerability assessment vendor Rapid7 has announced the first of a series of steps to integrate its penetration testing and vulnerability assessment scanning products. The first step is a module that allows users of the Metasploit Framework, which Rapid7 acquired in October to natively import NeXpose scanner results and then take automated action against vulnerabilities MSF is capable of attacking. With the integration, and the automation that I understand is going to be continually enhanced, the industry is moving towards some interesting places rapidly.
