About RADICL

RADICL is a cybersecurity firm established in 2022 to provide enterprise-grade protection for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the United States, with a particular focus on the defense industrial base. The company was founded by Chris Petersen, a seasoned cybersecurity professional with over two decades of experience, including a significant tenure at LogRhythm where he served as a co-founder and Chief Technology Officer.

Petersen's background in developing security solutions for large enterprises informed RADICL's core mission: to make robust, integrated cybersecurity accessible and affordable for smaller organizations that are often targeted by cyberattacks but lack the resources for comprehensive defense. This market segment faces significant security challenges, including the high cost and complexity of traditional cybersecurity tools. RADICL addresses this gap by offering a unified, subscription-based service that combines multiple security functions into a single platform.

The company's primary offering is an agent-based security platform that integrates threat detection, response, and protection capabilities. It is designed to be easily deployed and managed without requiring a dedicated security team. Key features include blocking ransomware and malware, endpoint security, and a managed security service that provides continuous monitoring and support from RADICL's security operations center. The business model revolves around a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription, which simplifies procurement and financial planning for its SMB clients. RADICL primarily targets companies within the defense sector and other regulated industries that need to comply with standards like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). By bundling services that would otherwise be sourced from multiple vendors, RADICL aims to reduce both the complexity and the total cost of ownership for its customers. The company secured $6 million in seed funding in a round announced in October 2023, led by Paladin Capital Group, to fuel its growth and product development.
