Verodin has raised $21.0M in total across 1 funding round.
Verodin's investors include Ten Eleven Ventures.
Verodin is a cybersecurity technology company that builds the Security Instrumentation Platform (SIP), a business platform designed to measure, manage, and improve the effectiveness of organizations' layered security infrastructures.[1][2][3] It serves cybersecurity leaders and enterprises by safely running continuous "live fire" tests against real attack behaviors—like malware, SQL injection, data exfiltration, and C&C traffic—within production environments, revealing gaps in technologies (e.g., firewalls, IPS, SIEMs), processes, and staff responses without risking operations.[1][2] This solves the core problem of uncertainty in security postures, enabling teams to validate controls, prioritize fixes, optimize existing investments, and demonstrate precise prevention, detection, and response capabilities.[1][2][3]
Launched in 2016 from Reston, Virginia, Verodin provides evidence-based insights to maximize security spending and build confidence, distinguishing it from traditional simulations or manual exercises.[4][2]
Verodin emerged as a Reston-based security startup, officially launching in April 2016 to address the challenge of quantifying cybersecurity effectiveness in real-world settings.[4] While specific founders are not detailed in available sources, the company was founded by experts focused on innovative validation of security stacks, drawing from the need to move beyond guesswork in threat response.[1][2] Early traction came from its novel approach to automated, 24/7 testing against evolving IT infrastructures, quickly positioning it as a tool for cross-functional security teams to gain actionable data on defenses.[1][4]
Verodin rides the wave of continuous security validation amid escalating cyber threats, where traditional tools fail to prove real-world efficacy against sophisticated attacks.[1][2] Its timing aligns with the shift toward evidence-based cybersecurity in enterprises, fueled by market forces like rising breach costs, regulatory demands for demonstrable controls, and the complexity of multi-vendor stacks.[3][5] By enabling 24/7 testing and optimization, Verodin influences the ecosystem, empowering security leaders to leverage existing tools better, foster cross-functional collaboration, and set standards for measurable resilience in an era of persistent threats.[1][2]
Verodin is poised for expansion as Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) tools become essential for compliance and ROI justification in cybersecurity budgets.[2][5] Trends like AI-driven threats, zero-trust architectures, and automated SecOps will amplify demand for its real-time validation, potentially driving acquisitions by larger players (noted as pre-IPO on secondary markets).[3] Its influence may evolve toward deeper integrations with EDR, SIEM, and GRC platforms, solidifying Verodin's role in proving security effectiveness at scale and tying back to its core mission of instilling confidence through precise, continuous measurement.[1][2]
Verodin has raised $21.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $21.0M Series B in June 2018.
