Polyverse develops cybersecurity technology, including “Polymorphing for Linux,” that protects servers against zero-day, code-execution, overflow and other memory-based attacks. Its technology is deployed by government and security-conscious organizations and is embedded in IoT devices and connected hardware such as healthcare devices. Polyverse Polymorphed Linux is currently running on millions of servers. The technology has been validated by the U.S. Department of Defense to mitigate zero-day memory exploits like WannaCry and Spectre and attacks on companies such as Equifax. Founded in 2015 and led by CEO Alex Gounares, the company received $8m in new funding. It intends to use the funds to accelerate adoption among government agencies and solution providers and to expand capabilities such as polymorphic script engines and polymorphic build farms for DevSecOps. Polyverse provides a proactive Moving Target Defense technology that continuously varies a protected application’s attack surface to defend against inevitable breaches. The company’s solutions are optimized for DevOps and target protection for critical applications and Internet-of-Things devices. Led by CEO Alex Gounares, Polyverse positions its products to reduce exploitability of software in production environments. The firm announced it secured an additional $2m in funding to support its operations. Management intends to use the proceeds to accelerate growth and fund new product introductions. Polyverse develops software technologies based on the concept of “moving target defense” (MTD) to stop cyberattacks and protect an organization’s server and cloud applications, from databases to websites to mobile and other remote devices. Its technology dynamically partitions an organization’s data into vast numbers of secure containers, with each container having its own security and defenses. The container system is described as intrinsically self‑healing: containers cycle, resetting to a known good state and automatically eliminating any malware that may have been installed. The company is led by CEO Alex Gounares. Polyverse is based in Kirkland, Washington. The article reports that the company secured additional funding but provides no operating metrics.
