RAD Security CISO: Raj Umadas

What the company sells

RAD Security sells AI Workers that investigate, triage, and act on threats across a customer's entire stack. RAD Security describes its AI Workers as purpose-built agents that triage, route, and act, with every action traceable and every decision explainable. RAD Security connects security tools through an MCP server and 50+ integrations that form a single data fabric. Integrations in the RAD Security platform ingest alerts, logs, and findings that are timestamped and source-tagged. RAD Security analyzes, correlates, and enriches every signal against live runtime context.

RAD Security's cloud security posture view covers AWS, GCP, Azure, and Linode and displays misconfigured resources, IAM issues, and compliance status. RAD Security's Kubernetes security posture view covers cluster misconfigurations, RBAC issues, and CIS Benchmark scoring. RAD Security's runtime security monitoring shows runtime threats and behavioral anomalies detected by eBPF sensors across all clusters. RAD Security's software supply chain view covers SBOM coverage, dependency vulnerabilities, and package provenance.

RAD Security deploys lightweight eBPF-based agents that collect runtime signals. RAD Security's sensors continuously discover and track every asset in a Kubernetes environment, including containers, images, workloads, network connections, process executions, and their relationships to each other. RAD Security streams Kubernetes API events and tracks resource creation, modification, and deletion as they happen. RAD Security's image scanning is continuous, detects CVEs, and generates software bills of materials. RAD Security includes an admission controller that catches policy violations before they reach clusters.

RAD Bot is an AI agent with direct access to a customer's live environment data through three connected layers. RAD Bot queries a customer's live environment, correlates the results, and delivers findings with full source attribution. RAD Bot connects to Jira, Slack, ServiceNow, and email so users can escalate, assign, and remediate without leaving the conversation. RAD Bot can query data from EDR, SIEM, vulnerability scanners, and ticketing systems through a single conversation. RAD Bot covers AWS CloudTrail activity, cloud posture findings, and identity and access signals from Okta, Entra ID, and Google Workspace. RAD Bot automatically searches the Knowledge Base for relevant context and cites sources in every answer. RAD Security's Knowledge Base accepts PDFs, Markdown, CSVs, or plain text. RAD Bot workflows run multi-step investigations automatically and deliver results to an inbox, Slack, email, or ticketing system.

RADQL is a SQL-like query language built for security data. RADQL is included with every RAD Security deployment. RADQL queries span containers, vulnerabilities, runtime events, cloud resources, and identity signals with a single, consistent schema. RADQL results can be exported to CSV or JSON. RAD Security offers 9 pre-built dashboard templates covering findings, containers, runtime, and compliance. RAD Security dashboards can track misconfigurations mapped to NIST 800-53 controls with compliance scores.

The Evidence Room in RAD Security aggregates vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, runtime threats, and attack paths into a single prioritized view. In the Evidence Room, findings are automatically mapped to compliance frameworks such as CIS, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and NIST for audit readiness. Evidence Room findings flow into existing tools so that users can create tickets, alert teams, and export to a SIEM. RAD Security provides audit-ready compliance documentation for CIS, PCI-DSS, SOC2, HIPAA, and NSA Hardening frameworks.

AI Insights in RAD Security continuously analyzes a cloud-native environment and surfaces what matters most. AI Insights rankings are based on exploitability, blast radius, business context, and attack path relevance. AgentKeeper is RAD Security's open-source tool that maps a cloud identity attack surface. RAD Security states that its infrastructure is SOC 2 Type 2 certified.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]}

Products and services

Product names as the company writes them; what each does, in our words, from the company's own product pages. Never how well it does it.

• RAD Bot^[6][7][8][9]

  An AI agent with direct access to a customer's live environment data.

  RAD Bot queries a customer's live environment, correlates the results, and delivers findings with full source attribution. RAD Bot connects to Jira, Slack, ServiceNow, and email so users can escalate, assign, and remediate without leaving the conversation. RAD Bot workflows run multi-step investigations automatically and deliver results to an inbox, Slack, email, or ticketing system.

• RADQL^[9][10][11]

  A SQL-like query language built for security data.

  RADQL is a SQL-like query language built for security data. RADQL searches containers, correlates vulnerabilities, analyzes runtime behavior, and investigates incidents. RAD Bot can generate RADQL queries from natural language descriptions. RADQL results can be exported to CSV or JSON.

• AgentKeeper^[2][14]

  An open-source tool that maps a cloud identity attack surface.

  AgentKeeper is RAD Security's open-source tool that maps a cloud identity attack surface. AgentKeeper visualizes IAM permissions, detects over-privileged roles, and uncovers hidden access paths.

• Evidence Room^[12]

  Aggregates vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, runtime threats, and attack paths into one prioritized view.

  The Evidence Room aggregates vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, runtime threats, and attack paths into a single prioritized view. Findings in the Evidence Room are automatically mapped to compliance frameworks such as CIS, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and NIST. Findings flow into existing tools so that users can create tickets, alert teams, and export to a SIEM.

• AI Insights^[13]

  Continuously analyzes a cloud-native environment and surfaces what matters most.

  AI Insights continuously analyzes a cloud-native environment and surfaces what matters most. Every insight is categorized so that issues route to the right team with the right context. Rankings are based on exploitability, blast radius, business context, and attack path relevance.

• Explore^[6][10]

  Asset discovery and investigation across a Kubernetes environment, powered by RAD Bot.

  Explore is powered by RAD Bot and the same query engine behind every feature on the platform. RAD Security's sensors continuously discover and track every asset in a Kubernetes environment, including containers, images, workloads, network connections, and process executions.

• Dashboards^[11]

  Pre-built and customizable dashboards powered by RADQL.

  RAD Security dashboards visualize security posture, infrastructure, and compliance data with pre-built templates, flexible widgets, and real-time updates powered by RADQL. Dashboards pull from Kubernetes, cloud, runtime, and external integrations.
