8-Bit Capital portfolio company Impart Security announced their Series A funding, led by Madrona. 8-Bit Capital invested in Impart’s first round of funding in in 2021, and participated in this round.
Early results demonstrate the impact: Impart’s AI has successfully deployed over 2,400 security rules across customer environments, reducing average deployment time from 18 days to 45 minutes while maintaining 99.97% uptime—better than most human-managed security systems.
“We’ve evaluated every AI native security platform on the market, but they all had the same fatal flaw: they still required human review for production changes,” said Chris Castaldo, CISO at Crossbeam. “Impart is the first platform our team trusts to make autonomous production changes. In three months, it’s caught dozens of attack patterns our previous tools missed entirely while never causing a single service disruption.”
Impart is redefining runtime security — tackling the critical “last mile” of AI. Where precision, reliability, and decisive action matter most, Impart is earning customers’ trust. Their innovative platform is powered by intelligent runtime agents, autonomously performing real-time actions like SQL injection blocking and custom business logic enforcement. Unlike detection-focused alternatives that ultimately burden security teams with more tasks, Impart doubles down on real-time responses, offering robust, proactive defenses for mission-critical environments where swift, accurate decisions safeguard essential business assets.
