RAD Security, acknowledged for its innovative cloud native detection and response solutions, has been selected as one of the ten finalists for the RSA Conference 2024 Innovation Sandbox contest. The company is recognized for its unique methods that empower engineering and security teams through a tailor-made, behavioral approach to cloud native detection and response.
On May 6, during the RSA Conference 2024 in San Francisco, RAD Security will showcase its technology to a distinguished panel of judges and a live audience, contending for the title of "Most Innovative Startup."
Cloud Native Detection
Since its inception in 2005, the RSAC Innovation Sandbox contest has been a launching pad for nascent cybersecurity firms. The competition has contributed to over 80 acquisitions and $13.5 billion in investments combined for the top finalists over the past 18 years. RAD Security will have a three-minute window to present its vision, followed by a session of questions and answers.
"We are honored that RAD Security has been selected as a finalist for the RSA Conference 2024 Innovation Sandbox contest," stated RAD Security CTO and co-founder Jimmy Mesta. "In sharp contrast to one-size-fits-all, legacy CWPP and container detection and response solutions, RAD takes a custom, behavioral approach to cloud native detection and response that can counter evolving threats while sharpening inputs into shift-left and posture management."
Unique Good Behavior

RAD Security's approach involves creating behavioral fingerprints of safe practices to counter zero-day attacks and support zero trust and real-time posture verification. Their platform spans real-time Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM), cloud native Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), and runtime protection. This provides a definitive perspective on cloud breaches, crucial for defending cloud native infrastructure, identity, and software supply chains.
"In the constantly evolving threat landscape, legacy cloud scanners and runtime point solutions struggle to detect cloud native attacks," said Brooke Motta, CEO and co-founder of RAD Security. "For teams to achieve true resilience against emerging threats, detection and response solutions must evolve their approach beyond signature-based, one-size-fits-all solutions and black box anomaly detection."

Linda Gray Martin, Senior Vice President of RSA Conference, commented on this year's submissions, stating, "The submissions for this year's RSA Conference Innovation Sandbox contest were both dynamic and inspiring. Along with the rest of our entrepreneurial audience, I am excited to see these ideas come to life on stage."
The contest will commence at 10:50 a.m. PT on May 6, with winners being revealed at around 1:30 p.m. Esteemed judges include Asheem Chandna of Greylock, Dorit Dor from Check Point Software Technologies, Niloofar Howe from Energy Impact Partners, Paul Kocher, an Independent Researcher, and Nasrin Rezai from Verizon. Hugh Thompson, RSAC Executive Chairman, will host the event. The RAD Security team will be available throughout the RSA Conference week in San Francisco.
RAD Security, a behavioral cloud native detection and response company, has been named one of 10 finalists for the RSA Conference 2024 Innovation Sandbox contest in recognition of its work empowering engineering and security teams with a custom, behavioral approach to cloud native detection and response.
RAD Security will present its technology to a panel of prominent industry judges and a live in-person audience on Monday, May 6 at RSA Conference 2024 in San Francisco.
Cloud native detection
Since 2005, the RSAC Innovation Sandbox contest has served as a platform for the most promising young cybersecurity companies to showcase their groundbreaking technologies and compete for the title of “Most Innovative Startup.” The competition is widely recognized as a catapult for success as the Top 10 Finalists have collectively celebrated more than 80 acquisitions and received $13.5 billion in investments over the last 18 years. RAD Security will have three minutes to pitch the panel of judges before a question-and-answer round.

Unique good behavior
RAD Security creates behavioral fingerprints of the unique good behavior to eliminate zero day attacks, apply zero trust principles, and verify your posture in real-time. RAD’s behavioral, cloud native detection and response platform includes real-time KSPM, cloud native Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) and runtime protection. RAD Security provides the ultimate source of truth for cloud breaches, giving you a unique view of what ‘good’ looks like across the areas attackers are targeting today: cloud native infrastructure, identity, and the software supply chain.
