ZeroRISC raises $10M to expand open-source silicon security platform
- ZeroRISC Inc. has secured $10 million in funding to expand its open-source silicon security solutions and Integrity Management Platform across the silicon supply chain.
- The startup, founded in 2023 by Dominic Rizzo, offers a full-stack security solution starting at the silicon level with a commercial-grade chip based on the OpenTitan root of trust.
- This chip verifies device boot integrity and prevents unauthorized code execution, providing immutable and verifiable trust, crucial for regulatory compliance and cybersecurity demands.
- ZeroRISC also provides the Integrity Management Platform, combining silicon hardware, embedded software, and cloud-based management tools for enhanced security.
- Their Rust-based embedded OS enforces strict security policies, isolation, and secure ownership transfer, giving device owners control over security rules.
- The platform tracks device integrity through the supply chain and in-field lifecycle, offering real-time attestation and policy management at scale.
- ZeroRISC has integrated post-quantum cryptography using the SPHINCS+ algorithm for firmware signing, ensuring future-proof security in a post-quantum world.
- The $10 million seed funding was led by Fontinalis Partners with participation from other investors, including industry veterans and angel investors.
- Experts commend ZeroRISC for bringing open-source technology to enterprise customers with a focus on secure by default devices.
