1stProtect Announces Series A Funding
We've raised Series A funding to accelerate development of the world's first unified runtime security platform.
Today we're thrilled to announce our Series A funding round, which will accelerate our mission to unify runtime security across every computing environment.
Why This Matters
Traditional security tools fail in modern environments:
- Air-gapped systems can't receive cloud-based threat intelligence
- Container security requires per-workload instrumentation
- AI models are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks
- HFT systems can't tolerate security overhead
What We're Building
1stProtect uses a unified SIGMA engine to provide user-space security that works everywhere:
- Zero instrumentation required
- Microsecond-level latency
- Offline-first policy enforcement
- Real-time threat detection and prevention
What's Next
This funding will help us:
- Expand our kernel engineering team
- Launch our design partner program
- Accelerate platform development
- Build enterprise-grade deployment tools
