Boston-based cybersecurity company Rapid7 has announced a "restructuring plan" that includes laying off 18% of its workforce, aiming to become more agile and reinvest in client needs. The company had over 2,600 employees at the start of the year.
The layoffs are part of a strategy to streamline operations and improve efficiency. This move, combined with merging its "global facility footprint," is expected to increase the company's cash on hand by 2024 and allow for investments in high-priority areas like cloud security.
