Value proposition
A software-as-a-service security platform that protects edge AI models, compute, and control applications from chip to cloud without requiring hardware redesign, accelerating compliance with regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
Products and solutions
SEC-TPM (firmware TPM 2.0 solution), SEC-AI (AI model protection at the edge), SEC-VPN (zero-trust networking), EmSPARK Security Suite, MicroEdge, ControlEdge, NetEdge product lines, Root-of-Trust options and engineering design services.
Unique value
Only vendor offering software-based, firmware TPM 2.0 that can be embedded on existing silicon (e.g., STM32 MPUs) without hardware redesign, combined with AI-model-specific IP protection at the edge.
Target customer
Semiconductor and silicon vendors (STMicroelectronics, NXP, Synaptics), industrial/IoT device OEMs, edge AI hardware makers (NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem), and enterprises deploying AI models at the edge (e.g., Lenovo, Johnson Controls, Atonarp).
Industries served
IoT security, Industrial Automation, Semiconductors, Edge AI/Physical AI, Data Centers, Automotive
Technology advantage
Firmware-based TPM 2.0 (TCG-approved) that runs on Arm TrustZone and other silicon without requiring a discrete hardware TPM chip; deep partnerships with major silicon vendors (STMicroelectronics, NXP, Synaptics, Microchip) and NVIDIA Jetson edge AI ecosystem; technology lineage from Sequitur Labs (25+ years cybersecurity/embedded systems expertise).
How they differentiate
Firmware/software-only TPM avoids hardware redesign cost/time, enabling faster CRA compliance versus discrete hardware TPM chip vendors; also uniquely targets AI-model IP theft protection at the edge (SEC-AI), not just generic device security.
Main competitors
Sequitur Labs (predecessor, acquired into SecEdge), Wibu-Systems, Rambus (CryptoManager), Infineon OPTIGA TPM solutions, other IoT/embedded security software vendors
Key partnerships
STMicroelectronics, NXP, NVIDIA (Jetson platform), Synaptics (Astra AI-native edge processors), Microchip, Variscite, Advantech, Axiomtek, Convergia, Ubiquitous AI (Japan distributor)
Notable customers
Lenovo, Johnson Controls, Atonarp, Advantech, Axiomtek
Major milestones
2023: Formed via combination of Privafy's IoT business and acquisition of Sequitur Labs, secured Series A led by Raptor Group. 2024: Partnership with Advantech for NVIDIA Jetson-based MIC-AI systems, TCG-approved TPM 2.0 vendor status. 2025-2026: Partnerships with Synaptics (Astra processors), Convergia, Ubiquitous AI (Japan), January 2026 launch of SEC-TPM for STM32 microprocessors.
Market positioning
Premium chip-to-cloud security platform provider positioned at the intersection of IoT security and edge AI infrastructure protection, partnering directly with silicon vendors rather than competing with them.
Geographic focus
Global, with strong presence in North America, expanding into APAC (Japan via Ubiquitous AI distributor partnership, General Manager APAC role).
