Set up the Rapid7 InsightVM Cloud connector

Rapid7 InsightVM is a vulnerability scanner and management platform for detecting and aggregating both on-premises and cloud vulnerabilities.

Ingesting Rapid7 vulnerability data into Veracode Risk Manager (VRM) helps power risk prioritization and best next actions to ensure that VRM is recommending the best actions to reduce the most risk in your environment.
