Implement the Vulnerability scanning service

After you’ve completed the application process under ‘Use this service’ on the Vulnerability scanning service page, you’re ready to complete the implementation.

Consultation

The Queensland Government Cyber Security Unit (CSU) partners with RIOT Solutions, who are an authorised service provider for RAPID7's cyber security products and services. Consultation and final deployment will be performed by specialists from RIOT solutions, in collaboration with CITEC.

Once you’ve submitted the application form, a cyber security specialist from RIOT Solutions will contact you to arrange an initial consultation where the information provided will be evaluated to determine an appropriate deployment model.

Onboarding review and Health Check

There will be an Onboarding review 3 months after deployment and a Vulnerability Health Check performed every 12 months.

See our Vulnerability Health check PowerPoint presentation (PDF, 201 KB) for an overview of this service. Agencies that use the Vulnerability scanning service for more than 12 months are encouraged to book a Health Check.

Complete the online application form to book a Vulnerability Health Check.

InsightVM online training

The Rapid7 Academy provides a self-paced online training course for users. This course is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This course provides training on how to use the InsightVM product and features in order to support your vulnerability management program. As implementation of the InsightVM console is included as part of the service to Queensland Government entities, we recommend focusing on the ‘Overview’, ‘Scan Management’, ‘Analysis’ and ‘Remediation modules’ of the course to maximise your learning experience.
