Edera Inc., a startup specializing in workload isolation technology, has secured $15 million in new funding to further develop its technology, enhance artificial intelligence infrastructure security, and expand its team. The company, founded in 2024, focuses on isolating devices in individual cloud spaces to address vulnerabilities in shared environments, particularly for AI workloads relying on GPUs.
Edera’s flagship product, Edera Protect Kubernetes, secures container workloads by eliminating shared kernels to prevent lateral movement and potential attack paths. The solution integrates across various infrastructures, including cloud and on-premises environments, without the need for specialized hardware or complex configurations. This technology enables enterprises to consolidate workloads onto standard cloud instances while maintaining strict isolation, enhancing security, reducing cloud computing costs, and avoiding vendor lock-in.
The Series A funding round was led by M12 Inc., Microsoft’s Venture Fund, with participation from other investors. In addition to the funding, Edera also launched Edera Protect AI, a secure-by-design solution that automates GPU configuration while securing AI infrastructure. The service reduces cloud computing costs by allowing enterprises to consolidate workloads, including GPU workloads, onto standard cloud instances while maintaining strict isolation.
Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Alex Zenla stated, “Edera’s technology delivers true workload isolation while maintaining native container-like performance in today’s multi-tenant cloud environments.” The company’s goal is to provide platform teams with robust isolation boundaries that enhance security without requiring changes to existing infrastructure or sacrificing speed and agility.
