Cribl advances AI SOC with Radiant Tech acquisition

21 Aug 2026

Cribl, a company known for its AI platform focusing on telemetry, has announced the acquisition of technology assets from Radiant Security's AI-native Security Operations Centre (SOC) product. This includes intellectual property designed to autonomously manage security alerts through triage, investigation, and resolution. The integration of this AI SOC technology into Cribl's telemetry data platform aims to provide security teams with enhanced decision-making capabilities, powered by artificial intelligence.

"Too much of the $121 billion security market is trapped in data silos, giving security teams incomplete information," stated Clint Sharp, co-founder and CEO of Cribl. "We're breaking that cycle. By pairing AI SOC technology with Cribl’s open telemetry platform, we’re ending the era of siloed solutions and giving security teams the intelligence they need, right when AI is reshaping the entire operations landscape."

Enhancing incident response

Cribl's platform facilitates actionable telemetry data, improving the speed and accuracy of threat investigations. The AI SOC capabilities allow for dynamic creation of custom triage logic for each alert, avoiding reliance on pre-built playbooks, and conducting investigations directly on telemetry data wherever it exists. This enables security teams to detect threats and decrease false positives more efficiently, transforming incident response into a streamlined, precise process.

This acquisition marks Cribl's second venture into security technology this year

This acquisition marks Cribl's second venture into security technology this year, following its purchase of CardinalOps in July. As artificial intelligence continues to influence security operations, functionalities that once warranted standalone solutions now increasingly find effectiveness within a shared telemetry platform, avoiding the creation of new data silos.

Revolutionising telemetry with AI

According to Andrew Braunberg, Principal Analyst at Omdia, Cribl's strategy focuses on converting raw telemetry into a cohesive base for AI-driven applications. "By layering AI SOC, threat detection, and observability on top of its open data platform, Cribl is enabling organisations to customise their security stacks and finally unlock the true value of their data."

This acquisition forms part of a larger strategic expansion for Cribl's platform, with further developments set to be revealed at CriblCon on September 28, 2026.

Cribl, the AI Platform for Telemetry, announces it has acquired technology assets from Radiant Security’s AI-native security operations centre product including intellectual property to autonomously triage, investigate, and resolve security alerts. With this acquisition, Cribl moves further into security and is adapting this AI SOC technology to run as an application on its telemetry data platform, giving security teams peace of mind that AI is making high-quality decisions over the right data.

“Too much of the $121 billion security market is trapped in data silos, giving security teams incomplete information,” said Clint Sharp, co-founder and CEO of Cribl. “We’re breaking that cycle. By pairing AI SOC technology with Cribl’s open telemetry platform, we’re ending the era of siloed solutions and giving security teams the intelligence they need, right when AI is reshaping the entire operations landscape.”

Transforming incident response

Cribl’s platform makes telemetry data actionable wherever it lives, fuelling faster, more accurate threat investigations. AI SOC capabilities generate custom triage logic on the fly for each alert rather than relying on pre-built playbooks, and execute those investigations directly against telemetry data wherever it resides. Security teams will be able to detect threats and reduce false positives more effectively, transforming incident response into a seamless, high-fidelity operation.

This is Cribl's second security technology acquisition this year, following its acquisition of CardinalOps in July. As AI reshapes security operations, capabilities that once justified being sold as standalone products increasingly make more sense running on a shared telemetry platform than as another disconnected tool that creates its own data silo.

Transforming raw telemetry

“Cribl’s approach centers on transforming raw telemetry into a unified foundation for AI-driven applications,” said Andrew Braunberg, Principal Analyst at Omdia. “By layering AI SOC, threat detection, and observability on top of its open data platform, Cribl is enabling organisations to customise their security stacks and finally unlock the true value of their data.”

This acquisition is one piece of a broader direction for Cribl's platform, and more additions to its platform will be shared at CriblCon on September 28, 2026.
