BlackHat 2024: The Retro Polar Bear of Runtime Security - Brooke Motta, RAD Security

It was a pleasure to welcome Brooke Motta, CEO & Co-founder of RAD Security, on to the 2024 BlackHat Edition of CyberBytes. 

RAD is the only security vendor to have been finalists of both the 2024 RSA Innovation Sandbox, and the BlackHat Startup Spotlight Competition, which is a huge kudos to the product and team. 

Oliver Legg from Aspiron Search sat down with Brooke and dug into:

• How a 3-hour hike in Arizona led to joining forces with Co-founder, Jimmy Mester, to found K8 security vendor, KSOC
• The retro rebrand to RAD Security with the sunglasses wearing polar bear as its mascot to better suit the evolving Runtime Security vendor 
• Brooke’s impressive sales career with Rapid7 and Bugcrowd prior to RAD 
• The challenges that female founders face when raising and scaling companies, and Brooke’s positive outlook on how this can shift 

With Brooke & Jimmy at the helm, and impressive investors including Andrew Peterson, Alberto Yepez & Ron Gula, we have no doubt that RAD Security will achieve huge things.
