Echo on Thursday announced raising $15 million in a seed funding round for a solution designed to provide enterprise-grade software infrastructure that is free of vulnerabilities.
The funding round was led by Notable Capital and Hyperwise Ventures, with participation from SVCI.
Echo has used AI to create thousands of container base images that are built from the ground up to ensure that they are not affected by any known security hole.
Customers only need to replace the base image in their Dockerfile with the CVE-free version provided by the company — they are not required to switch to non-standard operating software.
Echo was founded by Eilon Elhadad and Eylam Milner, who previously created software supply chain security firm Argon, which Aqua Security acquired in 2021.
“Echo was born out of a broken system,” said Elhadad, who serves as Echo’s CEO. “Today’s tools chase and prioritize vulnerabilities rather than solve the root of the problem. Our clean images enable companies to build on secure infrastructure, and our AI agents make sure it stays that way.”
“We’ve reduced remediation timelines from an industry average of 120 days to just 24 hours – a transformative turnaround that’s reflected in customers’ existing scanners and CNAPPs,” Elhadad claimed.
