Production-grade sandboxing that assumes breach. Meet hardened runtime.

The Problem

Detection-based security has become an industry-wide treadmill: endless tuning, chasing false positives, and retrofitting rules after compromise. Despite massive investments, breaches persist. It’s time for a new foundation—security embedded in the runtime itself, where execution can be constrained, not just observed.

Edera's hardened runtime provides production-grade sandboxing that assumes breach before it occurs.

Hype

"Edera’s hardened runtime enables teams to move fast while minimizing exposure risks or eroding customer trust. When you can prevent attacks at the architectural level and make your application secure by design, you transform both security posture and operational efficiency."

— Ari Weil
VP of Product Marketing at Akamai

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

— Katie Norton
Research Manager, DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security at IDC

"The team behind much of Chainguard's engineering has done it again, disrupting every existing product in the category by cutting to the heart of the issue - proper container isolation. In a world full of security startups, Edera is one of the few that's offering something that's both genuinely innovative, and of immense security value."

— James Berthoty
CEO and Principal Analyst at Latio

"Edera’s advanced isolation technology provides a crucial layer of protection, preventing lateral movement and ensuring data integrity. In a world where GPU-powered AI is becoming the backbone of innovation, robust security is the foundation of a resilient and trustworthy AI ecosystem."

— Nick Jones
Head of Engineering at Nscale

"Secure, isolated workloads are a bigger priority than ever for the industry. We are encouraged to see innovative approaches like Edera and look forward to collaborating on how to bring this critical technology to the ecosystem."

— Mandy Andress
CISO at Elastic & Edera angel investor

"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."

— Tyler Shields
Principal Analyst, Risk & Vulnerability Management at Enterprise Strategy Group

"Edera fills [the security] gap by using virtualization to both reduce risks and, ultimately, reduce costs. It allows Kubernetes to go places it has never gone before!”

— Joe Beda
Co-creator of Kubernetes & Edera angel investor

"Edera assessed hypervisor technologies, new memory-safe principles, and the Rust programming language to actually solve one of the biggest security challenges of this era."

— Hadley Harris
Co-founder and general partner at Eniac Ventures

Styrolite

Our programmatic low-level container runtime designed to operate as a microservice, allowing it to run containers in a fully programmatic way

am-i-isolated

This Rust-based container runtime scanner runs as a container and detects gaps in container runtime isolation & provides guidance to improve to offer stronger isolation guarantees.

OpenPaX

This open source kernel patch provides mitigations for common memory safety errors, using a simple Linux kernel patch.

Krata

Krata, an implementation of a Xen control-plane in Rust, is a component of Edera Protect, for secure-by-design infrastructure.
