Overview

Opscura, founded in Spain as Enigmedia, develops patented cloaking technology that obscures OT Level 2 network and Layer 2 data to protect vulnerable legacy industrial devices without taking them offline. Its product suite focuses on OT cloaking, isolation, and Zero Trust authentication and is designed to complement existing ICS security vendors such as Claroty, Nozomi, and Fortinet. The company cites deployments and validation with partners like Schneider Electric and integrators such as Telefonica across industries including renewable energy, transportation, manufacturing, government, and chemical. Opscura is launching a new brand, global management team, and product upgrades as it scales engagement with U.S. partners and customers. The company retains R&D roots in Spain's Basque region, has earned multiple grants for research into ultra-low-latency encryption and industrial data communications, and announced $9.4M in Series A funding. Co-founders Gerard Vidal and Carlos Tomás will assume CTO and VP Engineering roles while David Hatchell joins as CEO. Enigmedia has developed a security solution that enables real-time encryption of audio and video in any application, protecting communication networks from any device without requiring large bandwidth. The company was selected for Banco Sabadell’s BStartup 10 high-performance program and will participate for six months in a growth program coordinated by entrepreneur Dídac Lee. As part of the program Banco Sabadell provides tailored products and services and access to a network of 67 specialized offices. Banco Sabadell committed a €100,000 investment to Enigmedia, delivered as a mix of direct investment and program support. The bank’s selection emphasized innovation, team quality, scalability, market opportunity and prior milestones. Banco Sabadell typically took around a 10% stake in the companies chosen, depending on development and market response.
