Zeroport has raised $10 million in a funding round to accelerate product development and expand internationally, as organizations grapple with persistent security risks tied to remote access. The round was led by Lool Ventures, with participation from Clarim Ventures, CyberFuture, and Fusion Fund.
The company plans to use the capital over the next year to double its workforce, enter the North American and Asian markets, and further develop its Fantom secure remote access platform.
The investment comes as remote access remains a critical vulnerability for enterprises and operators of sensitive infrastructure. Despite years of investment in cybersecurity, many organizations still rely on IP-based remote access methods that expose internal networks to malware, lateral movement, and data exfiltration. In highly regulated environments, such as energy, finance, and industrial operations, these risks often force organizations to choose between limiting connectivity altogether or accepting complex, layered security controls that can hinder operations.
Zeroport is positioning itself as an alternative to this trade-off. The company’s Fantom platform is built around the concept of removing IP connectivity entirely from remote access. Instead of allowing network packets to traverse organizational boundaries, Fantom uses dedicated hardware deployed at the network edge to create a strict separation between users and protected systems. According to the company, no packets are allowed to enter or leave the network. Inbound activity is reduced to human interaction signals, while outbound communication is restricted to display-only pixel streams.
Cyber Threats and Security Models
By enforcing this architecture, Zeroport argues that it can significantly reduce the attack surface associated with remote access while maintaining usability. The approach is designed to eliminate the need for multiple overlapping access tools, such as VPNs, jump servers, and additional monitoring layers, which are commonly deployed to compensate for weaknesses in IP-based access models.
The company says this model enables remote operations in environments that have traditionally been kept offline due to security concerns. It reports adoption across sectors including energy, banking, government, and industrial systems, where remote access is often essential but tightly controlled. With the new funding, Zeroport plans to scale deployments and support broader adoption in regulated and mission-critical settings.
As cyber threats continue to target remote access pathways, particularly in critical infrastructure, investors appear to be backing approaches that challenge long-standing assumptions about connectivity. Zeroport’s latest funding underscores growing interest in security models that prioritize isolation and architectural simplicity over incremental controls layered onto legacy network designs.
Executive Insights FAQ
Why is remote access still a major security concern?
Many organizations rely on IP-based access methods that expose internal networks to malware and unauthorized lateral movement.
What differentiates Zeroport’s approach from traditional remote access?
Its Fantom platform eliminates IP connectivity entirely, rather than securing it with additional layers.
How does Fantom technically limit data exposure?
It restricts inbound traffic to human interaction signals and outbound traffic to display-only pixel streams.
Which industries are adopting Zeroport’s technology?
Energy, banking, government, and industrial sectors with strict security and regulatory requirements.
How will the new funding be used?
To expand internationally, grow the team, and advance deployment of the Fantom platform.
