A Team of Female Founders Is Launching Cloud Security Tech That Could Overhaul AI Protection
Cloud “container” defenses have inconsistencies that can give attackers too much access. A new company, Edera, is taking on that challenge and the problem of the male-dominated startup world.
The latest in granular funding news is nothing remarkable in itself, but Edera's momentum is notable given the current, muted VC landscape and, particularly, the company's all-female roster of founders, which includes two trans women. Female founders who do get initial backing have a more difficult time raising subsequent rounds than men and face much steeper odds founding another company after one fails. For Zenla, Long, and cofounder Ariadne Conill, who has an extensive background in open source software and security, the goal of developing Edera's container isolation technology is to make it easy (at least relatively speaking) for network engineers and IT managers to implement robust guardrails and separation across their systems so an exploited vulnerability in one piece of network equipment or a rogue insider situation won't—and can't—spiral into a disastrous mega-breach.
