Rapid7, Thursday, March 12th, 2026
The role and demand for red-teaming capabilities are growing, as more exploitable CVEs make their way into criminal hands. Being proactive is no longer a capability that can be reserved for annual tests, but a continuous assessment to determine exposure and even through the validation of an organization's security posture.
With this in mind, we are delighted to announce the long awaited availability of Metasploit Pro 5.0.0 - which is not just an update, but a fundamentally new approach to red-teaming, designed with the sole intention of staying ahead of ever-increasingly capable threat actors.
Amongst the multitude of changes, Metasploit 5.0.0 offers an intuitive testing workflow that removes the ever evolving complexity of testing, as well as a suite of powerful new modules and critical enhancements. This is the version you can't afford to miss.
