RAD

What RAD does

RAD srl is a privately held Italian cybersecurity consultancy founded in 2018 and headquartered in Milan (Via Monte Rosa 91, World Join Center). The firm operates as a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) and system integrator, delivering a portfolio of professional services spanning Managed Detection and Response (24/7 MDR), Cyber Security Monitoring (SIEM-based, leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK framework), Cyber Threat Intelligence, Fraud Detection/Prevention/Response, Digital Identity (IAM/PAM/MFA including FIDO), Incident Response, Cyber Threat Identification and Simulation (Red Team/attack path management), and Data Protection. RAD serves enterprise clients primarily in Italy across banking, insurance, telecommunications, healthcare, education, and entertainment, and positions itself as a 'natural extension' of the client organization rather than a transactional vendor.\n\nThe company's underlying technology is built on a curated multi-vendor stack rather than proprietary products: it integrates SIEM/SOAR platforms from Splunk, Exabeam, Google Chronicle, and Siemplify; endpoint and EDR from Cybereason and Carbon Black; identity from CyberArk, SailPoint, One Identity, and Feitian (for which RAD is the exclusive Italian distributor); threat intelligence from Recorded Future; attack simulation from XM Cyber; data protection from Thales; cloud-native protection from Sysdig; and fraud analytics from Feedzai and Outseer. RAD's differentiation rests on the 'SOC 2.0' methodology — automated contextualization and enrichment aimed at reducing alert fatigue — and on the engineering expertise to operationalize these third-party tools for Italian enterprise customers. RAD also holds Splunk Associate-level certification and MSSP status with RSA and Carbon Black.\n\nRAD makes money exclusively through professional services and consulting engagements, with revenue generated from security assessments, implementation work, managed detection and response retainers, incident response retainers, and continuous security monitoring. Pricing is bespoke and negotiated per engagement, with no publicly disclosed rates. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by vendor co-selling, industry events (e.g., ItaliaSec, RSA Techfest), and an active Italian/English technical blog. The company is privately owned with no disclosed external funding or parent entity.
