CyberRidge Emerges From Stealth With $26 Million for Photonic Encryption Solution

The company has built a plug-and-play photonic layer transmission system that encrypts data in transit to prevent interception.

Israeli security startup CyberRidge has emerged from stealth mode with $26 million in funding for its photonic encryption solution.

Following a $10 million seed investment round led by Awz, the company raised a $16 million extension from Arkin Capital, Elron Ventures, Redseed VC, and the EU Horizon-EIC program.

Founded in 2021, Tel Aviv-based CyberRidge has built a plug-and-play photonic layer transmission system that transforms transmitted data into encrypted optical noise to prevent interception and deciphering.

According to the deep-tech cybersecurity startup, its photonic encryption solution makes the data immune to traditional in-transit interception tools, while also preventing quantum analysis.

To process the transmitted data, a proprietary photonic key is required. The key changes constantly and should be present the instant the data arrives, or it is lost forever.
