Cybersecurity company Polyverse Corporation has scored $8m in a new funding round as it looks to boost the adoption of its cybersecurity technology.
The new round was backed by Japanese security company Soliton Systems KK and previous Polyverse investors.
With the fresh capital, the company will expand its technology and launch into new geographies. Furthermore, the company will release new capabilities including a polymorphic script engines and polymorphic build farms.
Founded in 2015, Polyverse leverages polymorphing technology to protect servers from memory-based exploits by stopping zero-day, code-execution, overflow and other similar attacks. Polymorphing secures open source Linux distributions by scrambling the source code without affecting its operation, functionality and performance.
A memory-based attacks take aim at specific function locations, CPU registers and other targets. Polyverse’s technology randomly changes all of these details at the binary level to stop attackers using exploits.
Polyverse CEO Alex Gounares said, “Our mission is to solve the cybersecurity problem once and for all. The only way that will happen is if we take a different approach.
“By building diversity and uniqueness across multiple system dimensions, Polymorphing increases the complexity and cost for attackers and stops attacks before they start.”
