Executive summary: Radar Lite now integrates natively with Claude and ChatGPT, so security teams can run email authentication, DNS, and web security checks inside the AI tools they already use every day.
Instead of opening another tool, your team can ask a security question inside the assistant it already talks to all day and get a Radar-grounded answer back. The update is a response to a widening cost gap: attackers use AI to cut the price of a phishing campaign to almost nothing, while defenders still move at manual speed.
Key takeaways
- Attackers now use large language models to cut the cost of spam and phishing campaigns by 95%, according to Gartner.
- A campaign that costs a spammer around $1,500 to launch can cost a business close to $1 million to defend against if the response is too slow.
- Radar Lite's Claude and ChatGPT integrations turn AI-powered domain security into an opt-in you switch on, not a project you scope.
The math attackers already solved
The economics of attack have flipped. Attackers adopted AI faster than most defenders, and the numbers show it. Large language models have cut the cost of building spam and phishing campaigns by 95%, according to Gartner. Verizon's 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found the average threat actor used AI across 15 different techniques to build out an attack.
Email was already the cheapest way in, and phishing is still the most common cyberattack worldwide. Now the cost to entry sits at near zero. A campaign that runs a spammer roughly $1,500 to launch can cost the business on the receiving end close to $1 million to defend against if the response drags. That is a P&L problem, not just a security one.
Defenders have the harder job by design. You are protecting more surface, answering to more stakeholders, and doing it with the same headcount. The gap is not skill. It is speed.
“Attackers adopted AI faster than most defenders, and the cost gap is the whole story,” said Rahul Powar, Co-founder and CEO at Red Sift. “Radar isn't a rip-and-replace for your security stack. It's the AI layer that plugs into the workflows your team already built, so you can match the speed attackers are operating at without adding another point tool to manage.”
Security checks inside the AI tools you already use
Red Sift Radar is the skilled-up LLM built into Red Sift applications, with contextual understanding of your environment. Radar Lite is the free version that runs a security assessment on any domain and benchmarks your posture against industry peers.
Now Radar Lite ships official integrations with Claude and ChatGPT. Your team can ask a plain-language question, for example “Is my domain securely configured?” or “Check the DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) setup for this domain,” directly inside the assistant it already has open. Radar Lite runs the checks across email authentication, DNS, TLS and certificates, and web security headers, then hands back a prioritized, plain-English answer without asking anyone to log in to a separate tool.
Setup is an opt-in you switch on, not a project you scope. The AI your team already trusts gains the ability to answer domain security questions with real analysis behind it, rather than a generic explanation.
What it means for your team
The value lands differently depending on where you sit.
- Security engineers and analysts get quick setup and faster answers. They can check an unfamiliar sender or their own domain in seconds, then report what they are seeing to stakeholders without rewriting it in plain English first.
- Security leaders get AI-powered checks running inside the tools their teams already use, rather than another platform to procure, integrate, and govern.
- Business leaders get insight out of the security team without the team burning hours resolving problems by hand. Faster answers cost less to produce, and that is the point.
