Aliro Raises $15 Million to Advance Physics-Based Network Security

Aliro has raised $15 million in an oversubscribed funding round led by Gutbrain Ventures, with participation from Cisco Investments, Argon Ventures, and Wonderstone Ventures. The company intends to use the capital to transition network security from mathematical assumptions to physics-based enforcement. By utilizing entanglement protocols, the platform aims to provide deterministic trust where physical laws, rather than computational complexity, prevent unauthorized access and spoofing.

The company’s vendor-agnostic software stack currently supports over 50 entanglement and classical network devices, enabling organizations to deploy high-assurance networks using existing fiber infrastructure. Aliro also provides a physics-accurate entanglement network simulator that acts as a digital twin, allowing users to model and analyze the performance of quantum-enhanced networks before physical deployment. This software-driven approach allows existing hardware like routers and switches to be integrated into a secure, quantum-ready transport layer.

Beyond core cybersecurity, Aliro’s platform is designed to support a range of quantum networking applications including distributed sensing, position verification, and the connection of remote quantum computers. The funding will support the expansion of ecosystem partnerships and the deployment of these technologies across sectors such as finance, defense, and telecommunications. The company's goal is to establish a verifiable security infrastructure that remains immune to the growing computational power of future quantum systems.
