Cybersecurity firm TigerByte Cyber has emerged from stealth mode and raised $3 million in a seed funding round led by Hale Capital Partners, with additional backing from Tenon VC.
Based in Hanover, NH TigerByte Cyber Provides cyber hardening for AI and edge devices to protect systems where they operate.
The company has developed a solution that provides modern cybersecurity protection to legacy systems, including mission-critical edge devices.
Called Cyber Protection Suite (CPS), it is an ultra-compact, plug-and-play solution that offers hardware-assisted cybersecurity capabilities including data validation, deep packet inspection, network segmentation and post-quantum encryption.
The company’s solutions appear to leverage core technology developed by WebSensing, which specializes in single-chip network security products. WebSensing was founded in 2016 and appears to have transitioned both products and staff to the new branding.
TigerByte Cyber will use the new funding to scale its technology to modernize communications and navigation systems in military and commercial aircraft, drones, satellites and vehicles. The company will also expand its production capacity in the United States.
The company has already secured over $7 million in contracts with U.S. government agencies, including the U.S. Space Force, U.S. Navy and DARPA.
“We founded TigerByte Cyber to bring the principles of modern cloud security to the edge, where mission-critical systems operate with limited protection and no margin for error,” said Sage Secilmis, CEO of TigerByte Cyber.
“By combining multiple DARPA-developed technologies such as post-quantum encryption, data validation and formal parsing, we are creating a new foundation for autonomous, resilient systems that can operate with complete reliability, maintain data integrity and remain secure without interruption,” Secilmis added.
