Eclypsium
Portland-based firmware and hardware supply-chain security platform continuously monitoring device integrity from laptops to servers.

Eclypsium builds a cloud-based platform that identifies, verifies, and hardens firmware and hardware across an organization’s device fleet — laptops, tablets, servers, and network equipment — a layer most endpoint security tools don’t inspect. Its platform maintains a database of over 12 million known-good firmware hashes to continuously validate device integrity from onboarding through production, covering inventory, hardening, threat detection, and response for supply-chain and implant-level attacks.
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, Eclypsium has raised a total of $110 million, including a $25 million strategic round led by PEAK6 Strategic Capital with support from a top US bank. The company has been named a Gartner Cool Vendor, recognized among Fast Company’s most innovative security companies and CNBC’s Upstart 100, and won Cyber Defense Magazine’s Most Innovative Supply Chain Security award.
Firmware and hardware supply-chain security remains a niche but increasingly serious concern following incidents involving compromised network gear and implant firmware. Eclypsium’s differentiation is being one of the few vendors purpose-built for this specific layer, though its addressable market is narrower than general endpoint security, and independent detection benchmarks beyond vendor claims are limited.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Sustained investment in an underserved, technically difficult layer (firmware) over nearly a decade.
Fills a genuine visibility gap in most security stacks, which rarely inspect firmware integrity at scale.
$110M total raised and recognition from Gartner, Fast Company, and CNBC are independently-issued momentum signals. Recognized in Cyber Defense Media Group's 2026 Global InfoSec Awards (1 award), independently juried industry validation of market traction.
One of the few vendors purpose-built for firmware/hardware supply-chain security, a layer largely ignored by mainstream endpoint tools.
The 12-million-hash known-good database is a real technical asset, but independent detection-rate validation is limited in public sources.
Supply-chain and firmware-level attacks are a growing nation-state and criminal tactic, keeping this layer increasingly relevant.
Why CISOs Should Care
Closes a firmware and hardware supply-chain blind spot that standard endpoint detection tools don't cover.
What Makes It Different
Purpose-built firmware integrity monitoring backed by a 12M+ known-good hash database, versus general endpoint security that stops at the OS layer.
The Matrix Verdict
68/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A well-funded, technically differentiated specialist in an underserved but increasingly important security layer; a Meaningful Innovator.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Hash-database size and detection claims are vendor-reported; award recognitions (Gartner, Fast Company, CNBC) are independently issued.
