How Edge Delta Scales Security Using RAD Security
Running security for a fast-growing cloud platform often requires significant resources. At Edge Delta, it’s handled by a lean team.
Justin Todd, Staff Security Engineer for Edge Delta., the company’s security lead, is responsible for protecting an AWS-based SaaS platform while also supporting compliance, vulnerability management, and executive reporting. Like many security teams today, the challenge wasn’t a lack of tools, it was making sense of them while being asked to do more with less. RAD helped change that.
The Challenge: Doing More With Less in Modern Security
Edge Delta operates a SaaS platform hosted in AWS, with engineering teams distributed globally. The environment is modern and containerized, with infrastructure designed for speed and flexibility.
Security operations were limited by tooling and visibility.
Justin was responsible for:
- Monitoring cloud security posture
- Managing vulnerability exposure
- Supporting SOC 2 Type 2 compliance
- Reporting risk posture to leadership and the board
- Collaborating with engineering teams on remediation
The existing stack created gaps. Native tools like AWS Inspector provided useful data but limited reporting capabilities. There was no easy way to consolidate findings or generate the types of insights leadership needed.
These issues created operational friction.
Reporting required pulling information from multiple tools, assembling it manually, and translating technical findings into meaningful risk summaries. Security committee meetings and board updates required significant preparation time.
For a lean team, operating under increasing expectations the overhead was unsustainable.
“As the only security person on the team, I have to cover everything from AWS security to SOC 2 reporting. RAD gives me the visibility and automation I need to keep up.” said Justin Todd, Staff Security Engineer for Edge Delta.
