Flyover Capital, SineWave Ventures lead funding round, former Chief of NSA’s Trusted Systems Research Group joins board
Invary, a pioneer in Runtime Integrity solutions, successfully 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 mission of verifying the Runtime Integrity of entire systems, ensuring comprehensive confidentiality and security.
Invary’s patented solutions, 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. Join Invary and federal and commercial experts in a live webinar on February 24th to learn more.
Dr. Patricia Muoio, General Partner at SineWave Ventures and former Chief of NSA’s Trusted Systems Group, is joining Invary’s Board of Directors. Muoio brings deep expertise in cybersecurity, emerging technologies, and strategic planning across both federal and commercial sectors.
“It is time for enterprises to stop letting attackers dictate the rules of the game, instead capitalizing on having home-field advantage,” said Dr. Muoio. “Invary’s Runtime Integrity solution is an important technology for any enterprise looking to enhance their security posture.”
The seed funding 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 additionally 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 that are invisible to other threat detection mechanisms.
“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,” said Dan Kerr, Partner at Flyover Capital. “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.”
Flyover Capital, which also led Invary’s Pre-Seed round, has reinforced its support in this funding round, underscoring its strong belief in Invary’s groundbreaking capabilities and the urgent need for its technology in today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
“Invary is redefining runtime security with our upcoming eBPF Runtime Integrity solution,” said Jason Rogers, CEO of Invary. “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.”
Leading federal and commercial organizations trust Invary to strengthen Zero Trust Architectures by verifying runtime integrity and eliminating the foundational assumptions on which security postures are built.
“At Spencer Fane, safeguarding our data is our highest priority,” said Wai Sheng Cheng, Head of Security for Spencer Fane. “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.”
Invary’s technology is seamlessly integrated into partner solutions, as demonstrated 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 level of confidentiality and assurance that national security customers demand.
“We are excited to be working with Invary,” said Scott Clark. “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.”
