Invary, a new cybersecurity company focused on detecting hidden malware and preventing costly ransomware attacks, has raised pre-seed funding to launch its innovative solution. The investment was led by Flyover Capital, with additional participation from NetWork Kansas GROWKS Equity program and the KU Innovation Park.
"We are thrilled to have secured this pre-seed funding, as it validates the need for Invary's novel technology to shore up existing cyber defenses against high impact hidden threats," said Jason Rogers, CEO of Invary. "With the support of our investors, customers and partners, we are well-positioned to advance our mission of fortifying the security ecosystem by reinforcing Zero Trust principles."
The pre-seed funding round will fuel the launch of Invary's flagship Runtime Integrity offering, designed to uncover and neutralize hidden threats that elude modern threat detection systems. This unique service debuts this summer, and will empower organizations to fortify their security postures and proactively safeguard their digital environment against high impact attacks.
"The highly dynamic nature of today’s threat landscape poses a significant challenge to the security posture of all organizations, including those with advanced defenses like XDR, SIEM and CNAPP solutions," said Dr. Wesley Peck, CTO of Invary. "Invary plugs this security gap at runtime by mandating continuous validation of the operating system - making it an indispensable component of a 'trust nothing' Zero Trust architecture."
Additionally, Invary's free Runtime Integrity Score (RISe) service is available now, allowing customers to spot-check their system's integrity and identify hidden malware.
"One of the key challenges in combating destructive ransomware is the hidden malware within operating systems that often serves as the foundation for such attacks," stated the IT team at LMH Health. "Invary Runtime Integrity gives visibility into a part of the system overlooked by most other security tools. We are able to gain confidence that the operating system has not been compromised, but if there are cases where anomalies are detected, a wealth of information is provided to help determine if they are benign, intentional or potentially malicious."
The Invary leadership team brings decades of operational expertise in Trusted Computing research. "We’re proud to enhance operating system security for all by accelerating the industry’s progress toward truly comprehensive Zero Trust Architectures," said Dr. Wesley Peck, CTO of Invary.
The successful completion of the pre-seed funding round underscores Invary's commitment to pushing the boundaries of Runtime Security. With this significant investment, Invary is poised to accelerate its growth, enhance its technology, and expand its reach in preventing data breaches and ransomware attacks. ###
