Invary

Invary operates in the cybersecurity sector, providing runtime integrity solutions designed to protect critical infrastructure for both public and private entities. The company was founded in 2020 by CEO Jason Rogers, CTO Dr. Wesley Peck, and Dr. Perry Alexander. The leadership's background is deeply rooted in trusted computing and large-scale platform security. Rogers brings experience from scaling engineering and operations at companies like Matterport through its IPO, while Dr. Alexander is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Kansas with a history of conducting trusted mechanism research with the NSA and DARPA. Dr. Peck's academic path was directly linked with Dr. Alexander's research, having been his protégé.

The core of Invary's business is built upon technology developed from an exclusive intellectual property license from the National Security Agency's (NSA) Laboratory for Advanced Cybersecurity Research. Instead of scanning for known vulnerabilities, the company's platform measures and attests to a system's integrity at runtime. This approach allows for the detection of unauthorized changes, sophisticated threats, and zero-day exploits that traditional security tools like EDR and SIEM might miss. The service is a key component of a Zero Trust architecture, which operates on the principle of not inherently trusting any part of the system and continuously verifying everything. Revenue is generated by providing these cybersecurity solutions to a diverse client base that ranges from large U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) entities and intelligence community partners to local community health systems and commercial enterprises.

Invary’s product, the Runtime Integrity Service, continuously appraises the state of operating systems (including Linux, Windows, and eBPF), trusted execution environments (TEEs), and applications to ensure they are functioning as intended. This service provides real-time detection and alerts, which helps to reduce the noise and fatigue associated with typical security monitoring. The technology is designed to integrate with existing security infrastructures. A significant milestone for the company was securing a $3.5 million seed funding round in February 2025, which is intended to accelerate the launch of its Windows Kernel and eBPF Runtime Integrity solutions. The company has active research partnerships with the NSA and is a member of the Confidential Computing Consortium alongside major tech firms.
