Nano Corp

Nano Corp (styled NANO Corp, marketed as MAIA) builds software-only network detection and observation technology aimed at environments where traditional endpoint security agents cannot be installed, such as routers, switches, IoT devices, and industrial controllers. Its Deep Network Observation product captures and normalizes Layer 2 through Layer 7 network traffic without requiring hardware acceleration, and its AI-Driven Smart Alerts run detection on-premise to reduce false positives. A Live Forensics capability lets analysts search current and recorded traffic, with automatic packet capture triggered on alerts, and results integrate into existing SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms via API.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Paris, France, Nano Corp is led by CEO Fanch Francis. The company targets SOC teams that need visibility into unmanaged and legacy network segments, and also licenses its data to other security vendors who want to embed network-derived detections into their own products. Its customer base is reported to concentrate in financial services, industrial, telecommunications, and insurance sectors.

Nano Corp raised approximately €4.2 million in seed funding in October 2023, led by G+D Ventures with participation from existing backer Elaia Partners and additional investors Cyber K1 and Inovia Capital, earmarked for European expansion. The company remains small, and the network detection and response category it competes in is already populated by far larger, better-funded incumbents such as Corelight and Vectra AI.
