RAD Security, a San Francisco, CA-based leader in securing cloud-focused infrastructure, raised $14M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Cheyenne Ventures with participation from new investors Forgepoint Capital, Lytical Ventures, Akamai and existing investors .406 Ventures, Vertex Ventures, and Gula Tech Adventures.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the expansion of its AI-driven defense platform.
This technology will build on its battle-tested Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) solution, enhancing its capabilities with advanced AI-driven solutions to ensure enterprises’ cloud and AI deployments remain secure and compliant as they grow and adapt.
Led by CEO Brooke Motta, RAD Security provides an AI-driven platform that empowers customers to ingest and analyze data from multiple sources and query security tools, enabling smart triage tactics and drastically reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).
As AI adoption and risks evolve, the RAD platform will continue to adapt and expand, enhancing its agentic capabilities to address emerging needs, including:
- Security for AI and LLMs – Provides monitoring and detection capabilities for AI-related threats, including shadow AI, data exfiltration, prompt injection attacks, and compliance violations, ensuring enterprises can safely leverage AI technologies.
- Operational Efficiency for Security Teams – Reduces MTTR with AI-driven insights and agent-based querying, helping vulnerability management and GRC teams to respond faster and more effectively.
- Cloud Detection and Response – Establishes behavioral baselines and detects deviations indicating malicious activity or insider threats, using runtime security and fingerprinting techniques—helping security teams to detect and analyze identities and unauthorized access across cloud and AI workloads, as well as anomalous behavior like data exfiltration, downtime, and rightsizing opportunities.
