Overview

Virsec provides the Virsec Security Platform (VSP), which stops sophisticated attacks at their first point of insurgence and prevents adversaries from gaining dwell time in software. The platform delivers in-depth visibility across entire workloads and detects and blocks known and unknown threats that can evade heuristic and endpoint solutions. VSP maps the expected performance of each application on a workload, protects the memory applications use to execute, and ensures application components are correct and unmodified before execution; deviations are treated as threats. Led by CEO Dave Furneaux, the company intends to use newly raised funds to expand operations and its business reach. The raise brought the company’s total funding to $137M. Virsec has developed a technology platform that protects critical applications from the inside, safeguarding processes in memory and pinpointing attacks in real time. Its patented Trusted Execution™ technology maps acceptable application execution and instantly detects deviations caused by attacks. The solution has been deployed and gone through extensive validation with early-adopter customers in critical infrastructure, defense, financial services, and healthcare. The company holds a portfolio of patents with more than 20 applications filed and 12 already granted. Virsec is led by CEO Atiq Raza. It plans to use the new funding to accelerate product innovation and global expansion.
