Overview

Hardened Runtime =
Hard time for bad actors

Breaches are inevitable. Edera immobilizes threats on contact – leaving bad actors trapped, unable to advance or extract data

Why Edera

Because we know...

Prevention > Detection

Edera prevents attacks at runtime by design – eliminating whole classes of threats so teams build fast & focus on real risk, not noise

[Edera] built true container virtualization to enable actual container isolation. This ends a massive category of vulnerabilities involving escaping container contexts in order to expand the attack surface.

Edera’s focus on hardened runtime protections reflects a move toward prevention-oriented architectures to mitigate the root causes of attacks. This may become increasingly relevant as AI agents and modern applications introduce new attack surfaces that traditional tools were not built to defend.

Edera's isolation capabilities provide protection at a technical layer low enough to stop lateral movement, protecting the container and workload sanctity. Workload security increases in importance as GPU and AI become more prevalent. Edera is well positioned to secure these modern systems.

FAQ

You’ve Got Questions, Ivy Has Answers

You asked and I shall share the knowledge

Edera is a container-native Type-1 hypervisor that eliminates the trade-off between container security and performance. It isolates every workload in its own lightweight “zone,” preventing container escapes by design while maintaining near-native speed and full Kubernetes compatibility.

Traditional containers share the same Linux kernel, which creates risk of container escapes and lateral movement. Edera replaces that shared foundation with per-container micro-VMs, providing complete workload isolation. This design blocks privilege-escalation attacks and zero-days that exploit the kernel — without needing new tooling or specialized hardware.

Absolutely. Edera provides GPU workload isolation that prevents data leakage between tenants and protects against GPU driver vulnerabilities — critical for secure AI training and inference at scale.

Yes. Edera complements confidential computing models by providing strong software-based isolation that doesn’t depend on proprietary hardware. It helps organizations meet zero-trust and compliance requirements for sectors like finance, healthcare, and government.

Edera is built for platform engineering and security teams running large Kubernetes or AI infrastructures. Enterprises adopt it to enable secure multi-tenancy, reduce infrastructure costs, and achieve security without sacrifice – whether on-prem, in public cloud, or at the edge.
