Astra Security and Invary Secure New Funding to Enhance Cybersecurity Solutions

This week, cybersecurity startups Astra Security and Invary made headlines with significant funding rounds aimed at bolstering their innovative solutions for modern security challenges.

Astra Security, a company founded in 2018 and based in the US and India, has successfully raised $2.7 million in a growth capital round led by Emergent Ventures, with backing from Better Capital, Blume Ventures, Neon Fund, and PointOne Capital. Known for its AI-powered penetration testing platform, Astra’s technology mimics hacker behavior to unearth vulnerabilities in applications. With a sophisticated scanning engine that executes over 10,000 security tests to identify more than 13,000 potential vulnerabilities, Astra has garnered over 800 clients since its inception. The fresh funds will accelerate the development of new features aimed at detecting security flaws in cloud environments, along with further integrating AI into its security measures.

Meanwhile, Lawrence, Kansas-based Invary announced a successful seed funding round, raising $3.5 million from notable investors including Flyover Capital, Hyperlink Ventures, KCRise Fund, and SineWave Ventures. This funding boosts Invary’s total capital to $5.35 million since its pre-seed round last year. Developed through a grant from the National Security Agency, Invary’s technology focuses on ensuring the runtime integrity of systems, effectively guarding against tampering and hidden threats. The latest investment will facilitate the launch of runtime integrity verification products for Windows Kernel and eBPF, complementing its existing solutions for Linux and supporting Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).

Both funding rounds signal a continued investment in cybersecurity solutions, crucial in an era increasingly defined by complex digital threats.
