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. 

The Breaking Point

As Edge Delta continued to scale, Justin needed a way to answer simple but critical questions quickly:

• What risks actually matter in production?
• Where are vulnerabilities exposed?
• How should engineering teams prioritize fixes?
• How can security posture be communicated clearly to leadership?

The team evaluated options in the cloud security market, including larger platforms.

But many solutions were built with the assumption of large teams and significant operational overhead.Tools like Wiz offered powerful capabilities but were priced for much larger environments. Edge Delta needed something that could deliver strong visibility and outcomes without adding complexity or requiring additional headcount. RAD provided a different path.

Why Edge Delta Chose RAD

RAD stood out because it delivered what Justin needed most: context and automation.

Instead of producing more alerts or dashboards, the platform helped connect signals across the environment and generate clear answers. Several capabilities made the difference:

• Runtime visibility into AWS workloads
  RAD helped identify infrastructure risks, such as exposed services or overly permissive configurations, and tie them directly to production environments.
• Automated reporting for security leadership
  The platform made it easy to generate the insights needed for security committee meetings and board reporting.
• AI-powered investigation and prioritization
  RAD helped translate raw findings into actionable insights, allowing Justin to focus on issues that actually required attention.

Because RAD integrates directly with AWS environments and existing telemetry sources, deployment was straightforward.

The value was visible almost immediately.

Implementation: Value From Day One

From Justin’s perspective, deployment was simple. Once connected to the AWS environment, RAD immediately began surfacing insights about the company’s security posture, including infrastructure risks and vulnerability exposure.

The biggest impact appeared in an unexpected place: reporting. Security updates that previously required hours of collecting data from multiple sources could now be generated directly from the platform.

Justin started using RAD outputs for:

• Security committee meetings
• SOC 2 reporting workflows
• Engineering collaboration
• Board-level risk summaries

Instead of assembling information manually, the platform provided the context automatically.

“RAD changed how I report on security. Instead of manually gathering data for security committee meetings and board updates, I can generate the insights I need directly from the platform.”

Day-to-Day Security Operations

Today, RAD plays a central role in Edge Delta’s security workflow.

Justin uses the platform to answer operational questions such as:

• What risks exist in our current production environment?
• Which vulnerabilities are actually exposed?
• Where are containers or services misconfigured?
• What issues should engineering teams fix first?

The platform helps prioritize issues beyond severity scores by providing contextual insight into the environment, which makes it easier to identify meaningful risk instead of chasing alerts. RAD also helps bridge the gap between security and engineering teams. Because insights are tied directly to infrastructure context, remediation conversations become more focused and productive.

Impact: A Force Multiplier for Lean Teams

For Edge Delta, the biggest benefit of RAD is its ability to help the team scale.

With AI-powered analysis and automated reporting, Edge Deltacan operate an effective security program without expanding the team. Instead of spending time collecting and organizing data, he can focus on improving security outcomes.

The result:

• Less manual reporting work
• Faster risk identification
• Clearer communication with leadership
• Better collaboration with engineering teams

“RAD has been a force multiplier for our security program. I don’t have time to manually stitch together reports or chase alerts across tools. RAD pulls everything together and gives me clear, actionable insight so I can focus on real risk instead of busywork.” Justin Todd, Staff Security Engineer for Edge Delta. 

Security That Scales

Modern security teams face growing environments, increasing compliance pressure, and limited resources.

Edge Delta shows what’s possible when automation and context replace manual work.

With RAD, security teams can operate with the visibility, intelligence, and reporting capabilities of a much larger organization without needing to expand their team.

“RAD lets a lean team operate like a much larger security team. It automates the reporting and analysis that used to take hours, so I can focus on the work that actually improves our security.” Justin Todd, Staff Security Engineer for Edge Delta.
