What is Vector Command by Rapid7?

Rapid7's managed red team service that simulates real attacker paths on web apps, focusing on breach outcomes over bug lists.

How does Vector Command differ from web app pentesting?

Pentests hunt all vulns for code fixes; Vector tests if apps enable org compromise via exploit chains—no low-sevs, just what works.

No—it complements them. Use it to validate real risk from web stacks, alongside scans for vuln hygiene.
