Edera, a cloud security company specialising in workload isolation, has raised $15m in a Series A funding round.
The investment was led by M12, Microsoft’s venture fund, with participation from Mantis VC and In-Q-Tel (IQT). Existing investors Eniac Ventures, 645 Ventures, FPV Ventures, Precursor Ventures, and Rosecliff Ventures also contributed.
The company, which focuses on securing cloud and AI infrastructure, aims to eliminate the security risks posed by shared workloads in multi-tenant environments. Its core technology, Edera Protect, enables cloud-native isolation, ensuring that workloads remain secure without affecting performance.
Edera plans to use the funding to expand its product capabilities, particularly for AI infrastructure security. The company recently introduced Edera Protect AI, a new solution designed to automate GPU configuration while securing AI environments.
Edera’s technology is designed to provide security without requiring workflow changes.
Edera CEO and co-founder Emily Long said, “This funding accelerates our mission to empower engineers to develop with speed and confidence.
“We’re eliminating the traditional tension between development velocity and security by making isolation intrinsic to the infrastructure. Platform teams can focus on creating value while knowing their workloads are secure from the start – no workflow changes required, no security burden post-deployment, just native security that scales with their applications.”
Enterprise Strategy Group principal analyst Tyler Shields said, “Workload security requires being closer to the hardware than the attacker.
“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.”
