Sepio
Sepio is an Israeli-founded cybersecurity startup focused on hardware asset risk management and rogue device detection.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Sepio develops hardware asset risk management technology that identifies and classifies known, unknown, and malicious hardware devices connected to enterprise networks. The platform addresses blind spots created by unmanaged peripherals, embedded devices, and hidden hardware attack vectors.
The company announced a $22 million Series B in 2023 and remains private, with Israeli roots and U.S. market presence. Sepio operates in a niche but strategically important area of cyber defense focused on physical-layer trust in modern IT environments.
Dual-use relevance is strong: trusted device inventory and hardware anomaly detection are valuable for defense and intelligence environments where rogue or spoofed hardware can undermine network integrity and mission assurance.
Dual-Use Assessment
Hardware asset trust and rogue device detection are dual-use capabilities for enterprise networks and sensitive defense environments.
Key Technologies
- Hardware fingerprinting and classification
- Rogue and unmanaged device detection
- Asset risk contextualization
- Network-based hardware visibility analytics
- Continuous hardware posture monitoring
Use Cases & Applications
- Detecting unauthorized devices on enterprise networks
- Reducing supply-chain and peripheral hardware risk
- Improving zero-trust asset visibility
- Securing operational environments with mixed device types
- Hardening defense network perimeters against hardware-based intrusion vectors
Strategic Value to U.S.-Israel Alliance
Enhances infrastructure trust by closing hardware visibility gaps that software-only security controls often miss.
