Rapid7, a cybersecurity solutions provider, has announced a new strategic distribution partnership with Licencias OnLine (LOL) to expand its reach across Latin America. The collaboration aims to provide organizations in the region with enhanced cybersecurity operations platforms and support as they navigate increasing digital transformation, cloud adoption, and the integration of artificial intelligence.

The partnership is designed to address the growing complexity of cybersecurity environments in Latin America, where organizations are facing expanding attack surfaces and the need to manage risks associated with "Shadow IT" and "Shadow AI." Rapid7's platform offers continuous exposure management, AI-driven threat detection and response, and security automation, unifying security data across endpoint, cloud, identity, and infrastructure environments.

Cássio De Alcântara, Rapid7's Director of LATAM Sales, highlighted that the partnership will help security leaders and practitioners tackle these challenges by providing visibility to reduce risk and enable confident action. The goal is to offer security solutions that not only protect critical assets but also support innovation, regulatory compliance, and long-term digital transformation.

Licencias OnLine brings a strong regional presence, deep cybersecurity expertise, and a specialized channel ecosystem to the alliance. This local knowledge, technical enablement, and operational agility are expected to help partners grow their cybersecurity practices and deliver greater value to customers throughout Latin America.

Both companies plan to invest in technical training, partner enablement, joint marketing initiatives, and go-to-market programs. These efforts are intended to help partners expand their managed security services, strengthen customer relationships, and accelerate business growth in the region.

The collaboration seeks to make it easier for Latin American organizations to strengthen their cyber resilience by providing access to integrated, intelligent security operations designed for today's AI-powered threat landscape. Rapid7's open platform supports this approach through hundreds of technology integrations, aiming to eliminate security silos, improve attack surface visibility, and automate response workflows.

By combining Rapid7's global cybersecurity innovation with Licencias OnLine's regional expertise and trusted partner network, the alliance aims to reduce operational complexity for security teams while improving overall cybersecurity program maturity. The partnership is expected to support partners in achieving measurable business outcomes as they help customers build stronger, more resilient security operations.
