Edera, a provider of cloud-based enterprise security solutions, raised $15 million in Series A funding.
M12, a Microsoft Venture Fund, led the investment round with participation from Mantis VC, In-Q-Tel (IQT), Eniac Ventures, 645 Ventures, FPV Ventures, Precursor Ventures, and Rosecliff Ventures.
The latest investment, coming just three months after Edera’s $5 million seed round, brings total funding to $20 million, validating the company’s solution, Edera Protect, which delivers cloud-native isolation making containers secure by default across all workloads.
Edera intends to use the fresh funds to accelerate its product expansion to include support for AI infrastructure.
By embedding security at the architectural level, Edera enables developers to maintain their existing workflows while automatically ensuring workload isolation and protection from the start.
“This funding accelerates our mission to empower engineers to develop with speed and confidence,” said Emily Long, CEO and Co-Founder of Edera.
“We’re eliminating the traditional tension between development velocity and security by making isolation intrinsic to the infrastructure. Platform teams can focus on creating value while knowing their workloads are secure from the start – no workflow changes required, no security burden post-deployment, just native security that scales with their applications.”
