qomodo develops host-level observability and threat-prevention software agents for extended Internet of Things (XIoT) and embedded systems, using machine learning to proactively detect and block intrusions without impacting device performance. The team—composed of ex-BAE Systems and NATO cyber security experts—participated in the Techstars 2023 cohort and targets devices that were previously ‘black boxes’ by profiling behaviour and vulnerabilities. Its offering pairs platform-agnostic embedded agents with a honeypot network to expand intelligence on IoT hacking attempts. qomodo positions its product at manufacturers of IoT devices and operators of critical infrastructure, citing rising nation-state and criminal threats to XIoT environments. The company reports a surge in IoT-targeting malware (a 400% increase cited) and highlights the broader economic impact (the article cites UK costs of £1 billion a year). The £1.3M Pre-Seed round will be used to enhance the agents and support outreach in Europe and the US to refine product-market fit.
