About Karamba Security
AI is transforming what attackers can do, and edge and on-device containers are their new front line. Karamba Security stops AI-enabled attacks before they execute, protecting the edge devices, embedded systems, and containerized workloads that power the world's most critical products and infrastructure.
Karamba's XGuard runtime protection and binary hardening software enforces eight-fold security policies at the device and container level — blocking zero-day exploits, supply chain implants, and AI-generated attack payloads, without disrupting development workflows. Purpose-built for resource-constrained environments, Karamba's solutions integrate into existing pipelines and scale across thousands of device models simultaneously.
The company's VCode platform delivers continuous vulnerability intelligence across the full software supply chain, automatically generating SBOMs and the compliance documentation required by NIS2, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, and U.S. Executive Orders — giving security teams visibility into risk they couldn't see before.
Global 500 companies including HP, Samsung SDS and Volvo along with leading IoT and connected-device manufacturers worldwide, trust Karamba to secure millions of deployed devices and containerized workloads. When the attack surface is everywhere, Karamba makes sure that AI-enabled attacks are prevented without disrupting mission critical workloads.
