NetFoundry secures $12M to disrupt legacy networking models in AI era
Edge security company NetFoundry announced a $12 million investment led by SYN Ventures to revolutionize secure networking with a software-based, secure-by-design model.
The company serves eight of the top 10 US banks and critical infrastructure across three continents, offering military-grade security with simplified operations. NetFoundry’s “network-as-code” approach eliminates traditional WAN/SASE/firewall dependencies, enabling rapid deployment and strong security for enterprises.
“This is the iPhone moment for secure networking,”says Galeal Zino, founder and CEO of NetFoundry. “NetFoundry’s approach is revolutionary in that it enables military-grade security, but with the speed and extensibility of software. Organizations can no longer tolerate the trade-offs of WAN/SASE/firewall architecture – that old model is shredded by an AI-accelerated world.”
Major companies like Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, and the US military embed NetFoundry’s zero trust networking in their products using an OEM model. The platform supports use cases, including financial services, military drones, and industrial automation, with end-to-end encryption and sovereign endpoint keys.
NetFoundry is also the creator of OpenZiti, widely used open-source zero trust software for secure connectivity across networks.
The investment positions NetFoundry as a leader in secure networking, addressing the growing need for infrastructure-independent, secure platforms in the AI era.
