Cupertino-Based Bromium Lands $26.5 Million in Second Round

Cupertino, Calif. -- Bromium, a Cupertino-based developer of technology designed to automatically block and discard malware and advanced threats on PCs and mobile devices, said on Wednesday it has landed $26.5 million in its second round of funding, led by Highland Capital Partners. New investor Intel Capital and previous backers Andreessen Horowitz and Ignition Ventures also participated. Bromium's products are built on a second-generation virtualization technology that applies the isolation and security principles of virtualization to tasks running within the operating system of a PC or mobile device. The technology, which remains hidden from the user, automatically identifies each vulnerable task and hardware-isolates it within a hardware-backed isolation container that polices access to all OS services and resources.
