Finite State raised US$27 million in Series C funding. The round included The O.H.I.O. Fund, CIBC Innovation Banking, Energy Impact Partners, Energize Capital, and National Grid Partners. The company builds an AI-driven platform that secures software and firmware inside connected devices.
Rising product security pressure
AI tools have shortened the time from vulnerability discovery to attack from weeks to days or hours. Regulators in Europe, the United States, and other markets now expect connected products to be secure by design. Manufacturers must identify which shipped products contain flaws in shared open source components.
Customer reach
Finite State counts national power grids, a U.S. national security research laboratory, global automakers, and medical device makers among its customers. JET OPTOELECTRONICS, a Tier 1 automotive electronics supplier, uses its binary and firmware analysis. The IoT security market is projected to reach US$80.3 billion by 2031.
What the platform does
Finite State analyzes the software and firmware inside finished products. It detects known and zero-day vulnerabilities and helps manufacturers address exploitable flaws. The platform continuously creates SBOMs, VEX, and signed compliance packages.
The company plans to expand global operations and international market presence. It will accelerate development of autonomous platform capabilities. These efforts will help more manufacturers understand what software ships in their devices.
