Radiant Security is a company that has developed an adaptive AI SOC platform designed for enterprise security teams looking to address 100% of the alerts they receive from any tool or sensor. Pulse 2.0 interviewed Radiant Security co-founder and CEO Shahar Ben-Hador to learn more about the company.
Shahar Ben-Hador’s Background
What is your background? Ben-Hador said:
“I’ve spent over two decades leading cybersecurity innovations, from CISO roles at Imperva to VP of Product Management at Exabeam—all with a focus on solving real-world security challenges. Through my time in cybersecurity leadership, I saw firsthand how SOC teams were drowning in alerts, relying on fragmented tools that created more complexity than clarity. That insight drove me to co-found Radiant Security in 2021, with the mission to reinvent security operations through adaptive AI.”
Formation Of The Company
How did the idea for the company come together? Ben-Hador shared:
“During my time at Imperva and Exabeam, I witnessed a common problem: SOC analysts were overwhelmed by false positives and redundant manual investigations. The industry needed a solution that could handle Tier-1 security alerts autonomously, without requiring constant upkeep or playbook engineers. Radiant Security was built to be an Agentic AI for the SOC —one that acts with the precision of a top-tier analyst at any scale.”
Favorite Memory
What has been your favorite memory working for the company so far? Ben-Hador reflected:
“Seeing how our platform has transformed security teams. Reducing analysts’ workloads by up to 90% and watching teams shift from reactive firefighting to strategic, proactive security has been immensely rewarding. Moments like our $15 million funding round, our recognition in CRN’s Top 10 Cybersecurity Startups, our growing team, and our Cybersecurity Excellence Award for AI-powered SOC operations all validate what we set out to achieve. But alongside that are customers who have used Radiant, and when they move to a new company, they bring Radiant to their new employers.”
Core Products
What are the company’s core products and features? Ben-Hador explained:
“Radiant Security provides AI SOC Analysts that autonomously triage, investigate, and resolve alerts without playbooks, maintenance, or coding. Key features include:
– Automated alert investigations, ensuring security teams focus only on real threats.
– Context-driven AI remediation recommendations for faster, more effective responses.
– Dynamic behavior analytics, continuously adapting to evolving attack patterns.
– Integrated log management, providing a streamlined alternative to expensive SIEM storage.”
Challenges Faced
What challenges have Ben-Hador and the team faced in building the company? Ben-Hador acknowledged:
“One major challenge has been proving that AI-driven security operations can be trusted at scale. Many organizations still rely on manual workflows, fearing AI might miss critical context. To overcome this, we built fully explainable AI-driven investigations, ensuring analysts see every step of the decision-making process and can validate results in real time.”
Evolution Of The Company’s Technology
How has the company’s technology evolved since launching? Ben-Hador pointed out:
“Since our launch, we’ve evolved our engine from pre-trained use cases into a fully adaptive AI trained to research security alerts and automate triage and remediation workflows. We’ve expanded integrations to work seamlessly across security stacks, providing broader coverage and reducing manual effort across SOC teams.”

Customer Success Stories
When asking Ben-Hador about customer success stories, he highlighted:
“One of our customers, a global pharmaceutical institution, struggled with alert overload, spending hours triaging false positives and missing real attacks. After implementing Radiant Security, we discovered an attack on their executive team, but were able to resolve it in minutes. With Radiant, they achieved a 95% reduction in false positives and cut MTTR from days to minutes—transforming their security team into a high-efficiency operation.”
Funding
When asking Ben-Hador about the company’s funding, he noted:
“Radiant Security raised $15 million in funding, reflecting strong market confidence in AI-driven SOC automation. We continue to see rapid adoption, particularly in financial services, healthcare, and government sectors, and currently protect more than 30 organizations and more than a million users and endpoints.”
Total Addressable Market
What total addressable market (TAM) size is the company pursuing? Ben-Hador assessed:
“The global SOC market exceeds $50 billion, with increasing demand for AI-powered security automation. Radiant Security is positioned to transform traditional SOC models, offering a scalable, autonomous security solution.”
Differentiation From The Competition
What differentiates the company from its competition? Ben-Hador affirmed:
“Unlike competitors that rely on pre-trained AI, Radiant Security’s AI continuously learns and adapts. We trained our AI to research any security alert and automate the triage, investigation and response dynamically. We don’t require playbooks, manual maintenance, or complex coding—our system functions autonomously, refining security insights with full transparency. Also, we have a no-cost integrated log management helping customers to reduce spend on storage while getting stronger security outcomes.”
Future Company Goals
What are some of the company’s future goals? Ben-Hador emphasized:
– Enhancing integrations with leading security platforms for seamless interoperability.
– Enable all security teams to perform security operations with the efficiency and effectiveness needed to prevent breaches
– Driving industry-wide adoption of adaptive AI security strategies.
Additional Thoughts
Any other topics you would like to discuss? Ben-Hador concluded:
“The conversation in cybersecurity today isn’t just about automating security operations—it’s about creating analyst-friendly AI that enhances security without replacing human judgment. At Radiant Security, we believe that AI should empower SOC teams, freeing them to focus on mission-critical challenges while automation handles the noise.
