Scylos, a pioneer in stateless endpoint infrastructure, has closed a $3 million oversubscribed seed funding round, led by Galgano Family Investments alongside multiple private investors. The fresh capital is set to accelerate platform development, expand enterprise and public sector pilots, and forge strategic partnerships in security-critical environments.
Founder Rich Galgano emphasized that “most endpoint security problems exist because devices were never designed for the environments they now operate in. Scylos was built to remove that complexity entirely.” CEO Gregg Struve added, “This funding allows us to accelerate deployments, expand pilot programs, and refine a platform that delivers real-world reliability in always-on and security-critical environments.”
Scylos introduces a transformative approach with its ZeroCore™ operating-system-free execution substrate and Scylos Switchboard™, a centralized control plane that deploys, governs, and transforms endpoints at scale. By removing persistent OS layers, the platform reduces attack surfaces, simplifies recovery, and enables instant, policy-driven endpoint transformations without reboots or residual state.
The platform is particularly suited for high-security and always-on use cases, including industrial control systems, public-facing kiosks, regulated enterprise access points, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA). Advanced features like ShapeShifter™ allow endpoints to change roles dynamically across different security contexts, exemplifying Scylos’ emphasis on operational flexibility and security-first design.
Editorial Insight: Scylos’ stateless architecture represents a significant evolution in endpoint security, moving beyond traditional OS-dependent models that have long dominated IT operations. In industries where uptime and security are paramount, this model not only mitigates risk but also simplifies endpoint management, potentially setting a new standard for secure digital infrastructure. The leadership of Galgano and Struve, paired with strong investor backing, positions Scylos to influence both enterprise and public sector deployments globally.
The oversubscribed seed round also signals strong market confidence in stateless endpoint approaches as enterprises seek resilient, future-ready architectures. With deployments already underway across enterprise, industrial, and public sector environments, Scylos is poised to address critical gaps in traditional endpoint security, driving both operational efficiency and risk reduction.
