SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19, 2026 — Cribl today announced it has acquired technology assets from Radiant Security’s AI-native security operations center 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.”
Cribl’s platform makes telemetry data actionable wherever it lives, fueling 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.
“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 organizations to customize 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.
Cribl, the AI Platform for Telemetry, empowers enterprises to manage and analyze telemetry for both humans and agents. Trusted by organizations worldwide, including half of the Fortune 100, Cribl bridges the gap between AI ambition and infrastructure reality. No lock-in. No data loss. No compromises. Cribl’s vendor-agnostic platform ensures data remains portable and interoperable. By cost-effectively handling increasing data volume and variety without delay, Cribl gives enterprises the choice, control and flexibility to build what’s next. Founded in 2018, Cribl is a remote-first workforce with an office in San Francisco.
