Top Enterprise Security Startups in 2027

The Fortanix® Runtime Encryption (FRE) platform keeps applications and data encrypted even during compute. Fortanix Runtime Encryption technology enables applications to process and work with encrypted data, without the possibility of exposing plain-text code or data to the operating system or any other running process – including any form of malicious attack. FRE is built using the Intel® SGX technology, available in Intel® CPUs, and makes data and applications used inside Intel® SGX enclaves inaccessible to the cloud service provider, as well as Fortanix itself. The implications of the ability to provide complete, easy-to-implement encryption of the execution environment of any application or data are immense.

Using massive data analysis of connected device firmware and software, Finite State provides transparency to device manufacturers and asset owners, enabling them to understand and mitigate their risks before they are compromised. The Finite State Platform automatically analyzes each device, allowing users to identify risk across a comprehensive matrix of factors. Simply upload your device firmware to our platform and within minutes you will gain access to an overall risk score, a robust Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), a list of existing threats and vulnerabilities, and a wide array of other factors that affect the security of your device.

At Maze, we're building a new type of cybersecurity platform, built from the ground up to use LLMs and AI Agents to make decisions, instead of pre-defined logic.

Ennote was founded by cloud security architects with over a decade of experience designing secure, distributed infrastructure environments for global enterprises across AWS and GCP. Across every architecture a pervasive vulnerability continuously emerged: engineering teams, faced with the overwhelming operational overhead of legacy vaults or the manual friction of unencrypted configurations, frequently bypassed approved systems to drop raw environment files directly into Slack channels and CI/CD code pipelines. This trend is not an operational discipline problem; it represents a fundamental platform architecture failure. When legacy security tooling slows down shipping velocity, developers inevitably bypass it entirely. For too long, the industry has forced companies into a binary choice: bureaucracy or chaos. Legacy vaults are powerful but require dedicated DevSecOps teams to configure and maintain. Conversely, simpler developer-focused utilities are user-friendly but lack native, real-time infrastructure automation delivery. This trade-off becomes exceptionally critical in the modern AI era, where the explosive growth of automated workflows, LLM pipelines, and machine identities demands a unified approach to security. Ennote eliminates this friction entirely. By seamlessly uniting human collaboration with Kubernetes-native machine automation, the platform establishes a single standard for enterprise secret governance. It fuses an intuitive team password vault for human workflows with a push-based, outbound-only gRPC engine that streams credentials directly into container runtime states in less than one second. This unified ecosystem bridges the gap between organizational identity and machine infrastructure, protecting all credentials under a verifiable, client-side encrypted, post-quantum zero-persistence architecture.
