Maria Vitale

Cybersecurity & Incident Response Solution Architect at Radiant Security

San Francisco, CA, United States

Details

Experience: Radiant Security leverages ML to triage the alerts coming from the company’s various security tools, analyzing potential threats to determine if they are false positives or true positives. If the latter, the software will automatically investigate the threat and instantly provide step-by-step guidance on how to remediate, contain and/or resolve it. Security teams that have implemented the product see a sharp drop in effort spent handling alerts and a remarkably faster response and resolution rate.

My role is to support client-side SecOps teams in incorporating and utilizing our platform to triage, investigate, contain, and remediate incidents, as well as relay their feedback, requirements, and specifications back to the internal product, UX, subject matters, and R&D teams to be accommodated.
