Dec 04, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Startup Axiado has developed a chip that aims to secure devices from cyberattacks, with a particular focus on boot-level attacks. The chip authenticates boot-level updates before they are executed and regularly checks the integrity of the boot sequence. It also handles runtime security for software, apps, and workloads post-boot. The chip is part of Axiado's cybersecurity monitoring platform, which uses AI to detect potentially malicious activity in data patterns.

Axiado, founded in 2017, has recently raised $60 million in a Series C funding round, bringing its total raised to $140 million. The funds will be used for go-to-market efforts and expanding Axiado’s workforce across its San Jose, India, and Taiwan offices. The company also plans to take its product to mass production and start revenue generation in 2025.

Key takeaways:

  • Axiado, a startup founded in 2017, designs security chips and apps to combat cyberattacks. The chips secure devices ranging from data centers to 5G base stations and protect against boot-level attacks.
  • The company's chip uses root-of-trust technology to protect against hardware tampering and drives Axiado’s cybersecurity monitoring platform, which uses AI to detect potentially malicious activity in data patterns.
