Invary, a Runtime Integrity solutions platform, announced it raised a $3.5 million Seed funding round from SineWave Ventures, Flyover Capital, Hyperlink Ventures, and KCRise Fund. This funding enables Invary to advance its goal of verifying the Runtime Integrity of entire systems, ensuring comprehensive confidentiality and security.
Invary’s solutions – which is powered by technology exclusively licensed from the National Security Agency (NSA) – are leading a paradigm shift in confidential computing, bringing advanced runtime security already deployed in high-assurance federal entities to the commercial sector.
Dr. Patricia Muoio, General Partner at SineWave Ventures and former Chief of NSA’s Trusted Systems Group, joins Invary’s Board of Directors. And Muoio brings deep expertise in cybersecurity, emerging technologies, and strategic planning across both federal and commercial sectors.
The seed funding round will accelerate the launch of Invary’s Windows Kernel Runtime Integrity solution and groundbreaking eBPF Runtime Integrity verification, complementing its established Linux Runtime Integrity solution.
Invary’s technology supports verifying Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), such as AMD’s SEV-SNP, ensuring systems remain uncompromised at runtime. These offerings provide continuous state-based verification of vital layers core to security, enabling customers to detect sophisticated threats and zero-day malware invisible to other threat detection mechanisms.
Flyover Capital—which also led Invary’s pre-seed round—reinforced its support in this funding round, validating its strong belief in Invary’s groundbreaking capabilities and the urgent need for its technology in today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
Invary’s technology seamlessly integrates into partner solutions as shown by its incorporation into Vibrint’s enterprise solution offerings. For example, this collaboration brings Invary’s advanced Runtime Integrity solutions to Vibrint’s high-performance computing (HPC) offering, delivering the confidentiality and assurance that national security customers demand.
With Runtime Integrity solutions, Invary protects critical systems against tampering, persistence, and hidden threats by continuously measuring and verifying system behavior at runtime. And by delivering solutions for Linux, Windows, eBPF, and Trusted Execution Environments, Invary ensures that organizations can confidently operate across the entire technology stack.
KEY QUOTES:
“It is time for enterprises to stop letting attackers dictate the rules of the game, instead capitalizing on having home-field advantage. Invary’s Runtime Integrity solution is an important technology for any enterprise looking to enhance their security posture.”
– Dr. Patricia Muoio, General Partner at SineWave Ventures and former Chief of NSA’s Trusted Systems Group
“By successfully validating critical government systems, Invary has demonstrated its capability to address some of the most demanding challenges in system security. Invary is experiencing growing interest from the private sector, further fueled by its upcoming launch of Runtime Integrity for Windows. The real-time system integrity approach pioneered by Invary has the potential to redefine how industries think about and implement security in the years ahead.”
– Dan Kerr, Partner at Flyover Capital
“Invary is redefining runtime security with our upcoming eBPF Runtime Integrity solution. Researched in part with the NSA’s Trusted Mechanisms group under a CRADA, this solution extends basic built-in BPF protections, ensuring that eBPF programs and their data remain unaltered in memory at runtime. Combined with our Windows and Linux Kernel Runtime Integrity solutions and runtime TEE attestation, we are bringing the confidentiality and security trusted by high-assurance federal systems to the commercial market.”
– Jason Rogers, CEO of Invary
“At Spencer Fane, safeguarding our data is our highest priority. Invary’s ability to verify the confidentiality and security of our systems at runtime represents a significant advancement in protection. By reinforcing the foundation of our security posture, Invary enhances our ability to protect our critical data.”
– Wai Sheng Cheng, Head of Security for Spencer Fane
“We are excited to be working with Invary. Their unique technology is helping Vibrint elevate our Zero Trust solutions, enabling our customers to gain a stronger advantage in achieving their national security missions. We look forward to building on this collaboration and exploring new ways to drive innovation together.”
– Scott Clark of Vibrint
