Radar — Hacker-powered threat intelligence

@mmarinescu88 Thanks for the comments - and yes definitely agree that the UI is certainly a work in progress! We're still a small team so learning a lot. The hacker-powered knowledge comes from the fact that OnSecurity are a pentest/ethical hacking company. Radar was designed by our hackers and uses real hacking tools/methodologies to show you what a real hacker would be able to see about your organisation. It alerts you to how and where they might be able to utilise common vulnerabilities to attack you. Hope this helps!

@frcbls Thanks so much Ferruccio! Means a lot coming from you guys! ❤️ June has been a real help for us launching and developing Radar to this point!

@trent_hopkins Hey Trent thanks for your Q. We designed Radar to fit nicely in the startup/scaleup landscape or for people who wouldn't necessarily have security teams or big enterprise budgets. There are some similar tools in the market but usually these come with a bit of a hefty price tag! We wanted to create a simple tool that would help organisations tackle the common security vulnerabilities that account for a large proportion of data breaches!

@elliott_hawkins1 A little but it's designed to be simple for anyone with IT skills, so you don't have to manually set up loads of individual checks. The dashboards are designed to be 'board-friendly' too!

@elliott_hawkins1 @beth_watts OnSecurity has been my security partner for the last few years. Their reports have always included easy-to-follow mitigation steps for each risk item. The developer resolving the item will need the tech knowledge to implement the fix, but understanding the risk and impact is clearly communicated.

@patpijanowski - thanks for your comment! Radar takes 30 seconds to set up, it just uses your domain via your email address you register with and searches from there, you can also add additional domains if you have more than one! We very much understand the concern about zero-day vulnerabilities. The reason they're challenging for any threat intel tool is largely due to the very nature of these threats - they’re unknown and unidentified until they’re exploited, meaning they're pretty much impossible to pre-empt. Our product operates as an external, unauthenticated scanner - it can only assess and analyse data that is publicly accessible over the internet. AI-driven anomaly detection sounds appealing but requires a far deeper, internal view of the system it’s protecting, generally beyond what is possible without authentication/explicit consent. Plus the ethical implications! The main focus of Radar is to help users identify known vulnerabilities in their systems based on a database that’s continuously updated. This focus is pivotal for maintaining a good security posture, as the vast majority of successful attacks still exploit known vulnerabilities that have not been patched. On your UI comment, we are consistently working to make our tool as user-friendly as possible, do you have any specific suggestions? Hope this helps, really interested in your feedback and thanks for taking the time.

@kathy_laney thank you very much for your kind comments, we're very proud of the product!

@jak_blackfino Merci Jak!

@jacob_filer Thanks so much, it's been a bit of a slog but we think it's a really useful tool now for people of all technical abilities! Lots more to come too!

@olivia_tanner Yes absolutely! You can download a report anytime to give you a quick overview and the data from Radar can be used for threat intelligence compliance requirements for ISO 27001 etc.

@reteh thanks so much, we think so too!
