A Team of Female Founders Is Launching Cloud Security Tech That Could Overhaul AI Protection
1 min read
Summary
Edera, a cybersecurity start-up that develops cloud workload isolation tech, has raised $15m in series A funding, with Microsoft’s venture fund M12 leading the investment round.
Edera’s technology allows for the isolation of resources when multiple applications or customers share cloud infrastructure, making it more secure.
Co-founded by three women, including CEO Emily Long and Alex Zenla – who began brainstorming the idea for the company while working in internet-of-things (IoT) security in their teens – the company is attempting to change how cloud infrastructure shares resources.
While VC funding for tech start-ups has traditionally been dominated by males, Edera’s all-female founding team is attempting to tackle the security problems faced by increasingly heavy AI workloads.
