We'd like to focus today's call on IntSights acquisition, so we ask that you hold all questions related to our preliminary second quarter 2021 results or for our quarterly earnings results call to be held on August 4th, 2021. With that, I'd like to turn the call over to our CEO, Corey Thomas. Corey? Thank you, Sunil, good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us on short notice. I'm excited to speak with you today about our acquisition of IntSights, a leading provider of cybersecurity threat intelligence. For today's call, I want to focus on sharing how this combination accelerates Rapid7's ability to secure the digital experience, meeting customers where they are as they evolve to face security challenges of a growing digital footprint. Before I jump to that, I want to briefly highlight the outstanding execution by our Rapid7 team, delivering a very strong second quarter, demonstrated by our preliminary results of 29% growth in ARR to approximately $489 million, ahead of our expectations. These results reflect the expanding need for organizations to invest in security transformation alongside their digital transformation investments. Increasingly, customers are recognizing that improved visibility to their internal risk profile is just one part of the equation. The external threat environment is evolving faster than ever, highlighting for customers that threat intelligence is now more strategic than ever. It's clear that with digital transformation comes an ever-expanding external attack surface that they must monitor and protect against an escalating cyber threat landscape. IntSights, based in Tel Aviv and founded six years ago, offers a leading external threat intelligence and remediation platform that helps customers solve their growing challenge. Their flagship Threat Command offering turns complex signals into contextualized attack surface intelligence, democratizing threat intelligence, and making it easier for organizations of all sizes to remediate their most critical external risk vectors. More specifically, IntSights helps customers by monitoring the clear, deep, and dark web to identify threats specifically targeting customers' digital footprints, things like data and credential leakage, malicious activity tied to their brand, or fraud. Threat Command not only provides continuous monitoring to identify these external risks, such as suspicious phishing domains, it can then proactively respond with automated takedowns of these fraudulent domains or accounts. This is just one example of how IntSights provides actual intelligence and response that helps secure our customers' digital experiences. Coupling IntSights' tailored threat intelligence with Rapid7's community-infused threat intelligence and deep understanding of customers' environments will help our IntSights Platform to provide unmatched monitoring across internal and external surfaces. This will enable us to deliver rich intSights that drive proactive and automated threat mitigation for our customers across their digital footprint. Our acquisition of IntSights extends the core capabilities and outcomes that Rapid7's IntSights Platform can deliver to our customers in three primary ways. Let me take a moment to address each of these. First, IntSights expands our addressable opportunity by positioning Rapid7 as a leader in the fast-growing billion-dollar threat intelligence market. We aim to build on IntSights's strong momentum to date by making Threat Command accessible to an ever-wider security audience by continuing to sell it standalone and over time, integrating it as a component of our IntSights Platform. I am confident that this can drive immediate value for many of our existing and prospective customers. Second, integrating IntSights's threat intelligence with Rapid7's leading detection or spot capabilities will provide customers extended end-to-end fidelity for internal and external attack surface monitoring, solidifying Rapid7 as a leading cloud-native XDR platform. At its core, XDR is about collecting and correlating disparate data to improve detection and accuracy and leveraging automation to drive response effectiveness. Since inception, IntSightIDR has led with a data-first approach to providing visibility and monitoring across customers' environments. Today, Rapid7 offers one of the most comprehensive extended detection response capabilities, combining internal visibility across network traffic, endpoint data, logs, user activity, and cloud visibility with intelligent automation across our platform. Few competitors in the XDR market today can match this. A critical challenge for every SecOps team today is to separate the overwhelming level of noise and alerts within the data from actionable signals of risk or compromise. By integrating IntSights' leading technology into our IntSights Platform, we will bring to fruition our vision of a data-driven XDR platform that provides unmatched telemetry via a best-in-class availability to understand the threat environment across internal and external surfaces, driving faster and more accurate detection response to threats. We believe this combination will accelerate our position as a leading player in the fast-evolving XDR space. Infusing IntSights' threat intelligence within our IntSights engine will elevate and further differentiate every product on our platform, amplifying our unified platform experience. This is a critical component of Rapid7's acquisition strategy. At our recent Investor Day in March, we spoke at length about the value of our shared data collection ecosystem with analytics that can move from product to product. The integrated intelligence and telemetry from IntSights will enhance risk visibility, not just in our detection response pillar, but also in our VRM and cloud security pillars as we continue to work towards delivering a unified SecOps experience in the cloud. A great example of this opportunity is an existing Rapid7 enterprise healthcare customer who also leverages IntSights to protect their massive digital footprint. In their own words, at their size, they would need an army of 100 people to keep track of everything IntSights does to monitor their external threat exposure. The net effect is that they have improved their security outcomes by leveraging IntSights to identify and remediate about 500 external threats per year. This is a great representation of the size and scope of the challenge that many customers are facing today as their ongoing investments in digital transformation dramatically expand their digital footprint. In addition to IntSights' ability to accelerate our core IntSights Platform capabilities, we see great mission-driven alignment with the IntSights leadership team, as well as great cultural fit, which, as I have shared previously, has always been critical to the success of our acquisition strategy. Their effort to democratize threat intelligence fits squarely into our mission of making the best in security operations accessible for all. They have built an innovative and impactful business, and we are excited to welcome the IntSights team and its customers to the Rapid7 family. Turning now to a brief financial review of the deal. Under the terms of the agreement, Rapid7 has acquired IntSights for a total consideration of $335 million, subject to adjustments to be paid in cash and stock. IntSights ended its second quarter of 2021 with approximately $27 million in ARR, and we see tremendous opportunity for the business to drive continued high growth looking ahead. We believe this accelerates our path to become a $1 billion company. IntSights has approximately 400 customers across multiple industries, including technology, retail, financial services, and manufacturing, among others, validating a huge opportunity for growth via both new customer acquisition and penetration into our existing customer base. We anticipate modest revenue contribution from IntSights for the balance of the year as a result of the required purchase accounting deferred revenue write-down. We will share more details on this in a few weeks when we update our full-year guidance on our upcoming earnings call. I will highlight, however, that we intend to absorb IntSights' operating expenses within our current profitability outlook for 2021. Were it not for the required deferred revenue write-down, we would not anticipate a reduction to our low end of our full-year non-GAAP operating income expectations as a result of the acquisition. In summary, we're extremely excited about the opportunity IntSights brings to expand our addressable market, extend our leading cloud-native XDR capabilities, and elevate our platform value proposition, all in the service of helping our customers close their security achievement gap. We look forward to integrating the IntSights' team and technology as we work collectively to deliver a unified SecOps platform experience that improves security outcomes for organizations of all sizes as they accelerate their digital expansion. With that, I will turn the call back to Sunil to open the call for your questions. Thank you, Corey. As a reminder, we ask that you hold all questions related to Q2 results for our upcoming quarterly earnings results call. We'd appreciate if we focus today's discussion on the IntSights acquisition. Operator, can we now open the call for questions? Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you'll need to press star one on your telephone. To withdraw your question, press the pound key. Please standby while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Rob Owens with Piper Sandler. You may proceed with your question. Great, thank you for taking my question. I guess relative to the acquisition, as we think about the category of XDR moving forward, you talk about the cloud-native capabilities that they have. Just curious if there's more you think you need to do from an on-prem perspective. I know XDR has been a bit more of a marketing category, before that there was next gen SIEM. Kind of curious if you have the pieces now, Corey, from your perspective or if there's more to do from the on-prem side of things to have a more holistic XDR. I do have a follow-up as well. Yeah. Thanks for the question, Rob. When we think about XDR, we think really about how do they help customers solve their fundamental problem about detecting and protecting themselves from threats and attacks in their environment. If you think about security is by itself a large fragmented ecosystem and detection response a fragmented ecosystem. Our long-term goal with IntSightIDR has always been to actually take that complex fragmented ecosystem and make it successful for people to actually have an integrated detection and response program. We've been building that steadily throughout the years where it wasn't just logs, it was endpoints. It wasn't just logs and endpoints, it was also about the network data and visibility. Now we also are able to provide the external threat visibility, and we're able to look at response also in an integrated fashion with our IntSightConnect platform that allows you to actually automate response across the portfolio. We think about, whether you call it XDR or whether you call it integrated detection response. At the end of the day, our primary focus is how do you actually take a complex environment and allow people to actually detect the attacks that are happening, make sure that attacks don't go through some of the gaps that often exist within security environments and allow them to actually respond as effectively as possible. With IntSights, it allows us to combine that holistic inside visibility with the external visibility. Now to your core question about do we actually have all the pieces? I would say we have the core pieces that we need, and we've been a leader in this space for a while. We've had the pieces for a long time. What happens is we keep pressing and pushing the boundaries so that we can deliver more and more value to our customers. You see that with some of the organic investments that we're continuing to make and announce, and you continue to see us push the boundaries forward, ensure that customers don't have any gaps in their ability to detect and respond to attacks. You said you have a follow-up question, Rob. Yeah. As a follow-up just on the quarter, I know you're going to share more in details in the next couple of weeks, this was the second-largest sequential increase in net new ARR I think you guys have ever seen, modestly behind the fourth quarter. If we stack up acquisitions, there is an acceleration here in organic ARR growth. Maybe you can just comment generally about the environment that you saw during the second quarter. Yeah. We're going to have most of our commentary on the board call. What I would say is that, as I said on the intro call, I'm extraordinarily proud of our team. They have done really a tremendous job of, one, building solutions that customers need. It's easier to sell when customers actually value and want what you actually have. As you indicated, that's true just as much organically as it is inorganically. The second thing is that our go-to-market and our customer service and sales team just did a tremendous job executing, and continuing to build. We'll go into the detail on our earnings call, I'm extraordinarily proud of the team and what they've accomplished for our customers. Great. Thanks for taking the questions. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Jonathan Ho with William Blair. You may proceed with your question. Hi there. Can you hear me okay? We hear you just fine, Jonathan Ho. Great. Just how much of an upsell opportunity do you see with IntSights? Perhaps what's kind of a typical deal size for the company look like? Yeah. Let me just start with the upsell. We actually see a tremendous sort of opportunity to both cross-sell and upsell into our install base. We think with IntSightIDR, as I've talked about on previous calls, we increasingly are seeing customers who are absolutely focused on figuring out how they actually make sure that they actually get up and running as quickly as possible with a best-in-class solution. We see more people focusing on how to upgrade their SecOps, and we see this as a natural synergy with IntSightIDR and frankly with our IntSightIDR install base. That said, this is going to be another offering that we continue to sell standalone. They have a great momentum, great traction in the market today. We expect to continue that market both selling to Rapid7 customers but also adding net new customers. I think that from the data that we actually put out, there's two core numbers, is one, if you look at the rough ARR of approximately $27 million. We actually talked about roughly 400 customers. That gives you roughly a $67K ASP. Again, just from the data that we actually put out in the announcements earlier. Got it. In terms of the maturity of organizations, how should we be thinking about their understanding level around protecting the external assets and maybe in baseball terms, what inning we are in terms of seeing the market adoption and awareness here? Thank you. It's a great question. I'll answer it in two ways, is one, if you looked at from the TAM standalone, which is attractive, it's like in the low single billions of dollars per year. What was most exciting for us is the customer feedback that we've actually seen. We've seen a pretty big uptick in acceleration of customers looking for threat intelligence solutions and specifically actionable threat intelligence. We think part of the reason that they were so successful independently is because they're focused on the core things that people need to actually manage their risk exposure. It's not just theoretical threat intelligence that's generic about what's happening in the environment. This is hyper-actionable, hyper-specific about what we're seeing related to your specific company, your officers, your people, how people are trying to actually use fraudulent websites, domains, information. We're looking across the clear web, deep web, and dark web, all to actually figure out anything that's at risk specifically to a company. For us, as we actually spend our time looking across this space, the specificity and actionability is something that we really wanted to make sure that was available in any offering that we had, so that customers can continue to get a fast return on their results. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Brian Essex with Goldman Sachs. You may proceed with your question. Great. Thank you for taking the question. I guess maybe if I could expand, Corey, on that last response you had. Could you maybe provide a little bit more detail into the value of the IntSights Platform, whether it's having an extra, I guess, volume of data for you to ingest into XDR, or do they really do something different? Is there technologically something that they're going to add to your platform in terms of analytics where you need to more fully integrate them into your platform? Just trying to understand explicitly what they're bringing to the XDR platform of Rapid7. Yeah, you can think about. Well, it's a great question. It's an important one, is think about Rapid7 is excelled and excellent at providing an internal view of the environment. You think about a threat environment. Not a threat environment, a technology environment that with all the innovation, with all the focus on digital agility, is expanding rapidly. Our security customers have to actually manage that threat environment. Because we've been so focused on simplifying and integrating that security perspective, Rapid7, and here I'm talking about specifically IntSightIDR, but I would say for all of our security operations, is excellent at providing visibility about what's happening from a risk and threat perspective, the visibility and monitoring into the attacks that you actually have in the environment, and then the automation that allows you to actually respond. All of this is internally focused. What Rapid7 has not done, other than what we do from our open intelligence work, is provide our customers in-depth views about their external risk and their external threats. Are there people that are out there leveraging either their infrastructure or spoofing their infrastructure that compromises them or their customers? Increasingly, if you think about the world of cyber, where people's brands are at stake and people are looking to actually catalyze and compromise any aspect of an environment, it's incredibly important to actually not just focus on the internal environment, but also see what's happening in the external environment, what's happening in the dark web, what's happening with the infrastructure that's being built up. That intelligence is increasingly valuable to customers. What I would say to complement is we are best in class at an internal perspective. What this adds is the best in class external perspective, so that we can actually know if there's actually people or data that's been compromised on the dark web. We can actually know if people are taking our infrastructure or mimicking our infrastructure, using it to compromise our clients and our customers. That's stuff that our customers increasingly care about. Got it. That's helpful. Maybe if I could ask one more follow-up. Maybe a little bit of color on how the transaction evolved. Was this a company that you partnered with and you saw the demand, with customer overlap, or is there minimal customer overlap and you kind of sought out the technology based on what you heard from your customers? Yeah. Like most things that we do, we're pretty demand-centric at Rapid7. We're constantly listening to our customers and seeing what they're interested in and how we can actually create more efficiencies and more productivity for the stuff that we do when we take care of our customers, especially as it comes to their security operations. In this case, we were actually tracking the demand and we were also tracking the general market. This was a team that we were incredibly impressed with, and this was a team that we spent some time getting to know, because what we found when we looked in the broader market is that there was lots of companies that did, what I would say, research-oriented threat intelligence. By the way, Rapid7 has great research-oriented threat intelligence. What we would hear from our customers is they were incredibly hungry for, "I want specific stuff that's a threat to me, and I want to know about when it's a threat, and I want it to be able to respond." There's two attributes we like. One, we like the actionability of it being specific to a customer. The second thing that we found incredibly unique is they had this ability to do all these automated remediation takedowns. When they found things that automated the ability to actually remediate that for the customer, and that was incredibly unique from our perspective, especially combined with our overall IntSight Platform. Great. Very helpful. Congrats on the transaction and the results. Thank you. Our next question comes from Saket Kalia with Barclays. You may proceed with your question. Okay, great. Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions here. First, maybe for you, Corey. Really interesting to just hear about sort of the internal versus external kind of perspective, right, in terms of what IntSights brings. I was wondering if you could just dig a little bit more into the threat intel offering here from IntSights and maybe how you think it differentiates. I guess I ask that question because it feels like there are several options out there for threat intel. How did you think about differentiation of that data during the due diligence process? Yeah. It's a great question. One, there are several options, as you can imagine. We do our homework with these things. We were incredibly impressed with this team. I would say the things for us that actually stood out as we were comparing is, I put these things in a couple different buckets. One, you can actually think about the threat intelligence market really came up as a manual, human-centric, genius-centric activity, where you got a few really, really smart people and you actually had them dig, impersonate, spoof, gather, and collect information. That's the historical threat intelligence market. By the way, that's awesome. As you all know, Rapid7 has people that actually do that, are invested in that. The challenge for me is that doesn't scale. When I want to actually scale this to approach the 10,000 customers around the world, and I want it to be actionable, especially in the talent environment that we're in now, we can't afford to have armies of people that are actually going out doing this manual stuff. We need some that are deep experts, and we'll continue to have that. Really what we wanted to look at is we were looking for threat intelligence that had scalability associated with it, where they had really fine-tuned the technology aspect of the ability to both generate threat intelligence on an automated platform and then synthesize third-party threat intelligence on a platform. This was fairly unique in the ability to both generate threat intelligence in an automated fashion, synthesize threat intelligence, and then add your own custom threat intelligence to the mix. That was incredibly important and powerful for us. Then the last thing is the thing I mentioned last time, is that they had actually taken that a step further and really focused on the automated remediation and take down. Now, part of the reason that they've actually done some of these things, and again, we're going to continue to invest and build out these capabilities, is that they have the similar mission to Rapid7. Their mission was democratizing threat intelligence. When you think about what that means, that means how do you actually make the best in security operations, which is what Rapid7's focused on, accessible to the broadest possible audience, be they a Fortune 10 company or be they a mid-size company or be they a government around the world. So that focus on scalability is really what drew us to them. They have very, very smart and talented people based on their background, but scalability was unique and precious in the market. We were excited about the opportunity. Got it. Maybe just a quick housekeeping follow-up. I think the deal just closed, or maybe it's about to close. Can anyone talk just maybe about the financing mix between cash and stock and that $335 purchase price? Yeah. Hi, Saket. It's Jeff. Yeah. It closed Friday. The total price was $335 million. It's about $21 million of stock. The rest is all cash. That $21 went to the founders. Got it. Very helpful. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Alex Henderson with Needham. You may proceed with your question. Great. Thank you very much. I was hoping you could just hit a couple of the block-and-tackle elements of the acquisition. For instance, can you give us some sense of how many employees you're bringing in? Any idea around the growth rate, which I know you said it was high, but high is a very qualitative term. Could you give us a little bit more sense of what the growth rate looks like? Then the third piece is, as we're looking at that $27 million in ARR, how should we be thinking about the mechanics around how much of that is going to be lost as a result of the purchase accounting, and how much of it you think you might be able to. I realize that obviously that accounting exercise takes some time to play out, and you don't have exact numbers, but something in the general ballpark would be helpful. Thank you. Yeah, Alex, they have 180 employees that we're acquiring. This is another high-growth asset that we're bringing on. It's a little over 40% in growth in ARR. With respect to the write-down, what was I going to say? That's the deferred revenue and not the ARR. The ARR stays by itself. We'll talk about that on the August call. That will affect the revenue, obviously, and what we said in the prepared remarks is that if you didn't take that write-down, we'd come in on the low end of our operating income range. I see. Okay. Just going back into the competitive landscape. As you think about this acquisition, who do you look at as their nearest competitors? Where does it overlap? Is this Recorded Future? Who should we compare this with broadly? I appreciate the great responses and the opportunity to ask the question. Yeah. The threat intel market is a highly fragmented market. I think you mentioned Recorded Future is one of the most well-known companies. You have RiskIQ, that's another comparable company in the space. There's a host of companies that you actually go down the list. I think those is probably two of the most notable based on news and name brand. They all focus on slightly different aspects. Like I said, some focus on the custom threat intel, some focus on the automation, some focus on the brand and reputation. What we actually found here was a company that actually had a good mix of having a scalable platform, for both processing other information, but also finding information, both on the clear and the dark web as it pertains to companies. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you'll need to press star one on your telephone. Our next question comes from Brad Reback with Stifel. You may proceed with your question. Great. Thanks very much. Corey, as you mentioned before, now you cover sort of the inside and the outside from a threat perspective. Going forward, should we expect you to continue to look to widen the platform, either be it further acquisition or internal development, or just go deeper on what you got? Thanks. Yeah, it's a good question. I characterize this as actually going deep. I think we actually have a large TAM today. I think we have a clear market space. When we think about security operations and providing people the visibility into their environment, the analytics to understand what matters from both a risk and a threat perspective, and the automation to actually scale the management of those risks and those threats, we think that's a massive problem, whether you break down the individual TAMs or you look at it from an integrated perspective. If you look at both the organic investments that we made and the inorganics, they've been fairly disciplined, and it'll scope for that problem that I just described right there. We want to be the masters and the best in the world in helping people have visibility into their risks and threats, whatever that may sit and wherever we resolve from a cybersecurity perspective, and then provide the analytics and the automation to actually manage it or remediate it in the most productive and efficient way. That's how we think about our market. I would say it's deep, but in a massive TAM, and a massive area of need for our customers. Great. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. I'm not showing any further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Corey Thomas for any further remarks. Well, I just want to thank you again for joining us at the last minute today. I also want to give another shout of gratitude to both the IntSights team and the Rapid7 team. Thank you to all the folks in the investor community who's been supporting the work that we've been doing on behalf of our customers. Thank you so much and have a great day.
