Last week, we announced that Edera raised $5M in seed funding to bring the world’s only secure-by-design Kubernetes and AI solution to market. This funding round was led by 645 Ventures and Eniac Ventures, with participation from FPV Ventures, Generationship, Precursor Ventures, and Rosecliff Ventures, as well as a group of prominent angel investors including co-creator of Kubernetes Joe Beda, Go cryptography maintainer Filippo Valsorda, and Elastic CISO Mandy Andress.
Decade-old container security issues, patchwork solutions, and retroactive security measures are not sustainable in today’s fast-paced, highly complex environments. Running secure multi-tenancy workloads remains an unsolved problem that’s costing companies millions of dollars.
At Edera, we’ve tackled these issues head-on by leveraging Type-1 hypervisor technology to isolate workloads at the container level. Our secure-by-design approach eliminates the possibility of container escapes, offering enterprises peace of mind while they deploy multi-tenancy workloads at scale.
🔒 Container-Level Isolation: By treating each container as a virtual machine guest, we eliminate shared kernel state between containers, making container escapes impossible.
🗝️ Memory-Safe Rust Control Plane: Our control plane, built using Rust, provides memory-safe security that protects containers from both traditional and AI-based attacks.
💰 Cost Savings: Companies can save millions in cloud costs by running secure Kubernetes and AI workloads across cloud, on-premise, and private environments—all without requiring complex virtualization extensions or additional infrastructure.
🌍 Plug-and-Play Solution: Edera is simple to use and integrates effortlessly into existing systems, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes.
We’re just getting started. Edera Protect Kubernetes is available to try now. Edera Protect AI is in development and accepting design partners. Edera also hosts Krata, a set of open source components written in Rust for secure hypervisor technologies.
