NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Scylos, a next-generation stateless endpoint infrastructure company, today announced the close of a $3 million oversubscribed seed financing round. The round was led by Galgano family investments, with participation from multiple private investors.

The funding will support continued platform development, expanded enterprise and public sector pilots, and strategic partnerships across security-sensitive and always-on endpoint environments. “Most endpoint security problems exist because devices were never designed for the environments they now operate in,” said Rich Galgano, Founder of Scylos. “Scylos was built to remove that complexity entirely. The oversubscribed nature of this round reflects deep belief in our team, our architecture, and the long-term future of a stateless approach to endpoints.”

Eliminating Operating System Risk Through Stateless Architecture

Scylos is building a stateless endpoint platform anchored by ZeroCore™, its operating-system-free execution substrate, and centrally orchestrated through Scylos Switchboard™, the company’s control plane for deploying, governing, and transforming endpoints at scale.

By removing local operating systems and persistent state from the trust boundary, Scylos reduces attack surface, simplifies recovery, and allows endpoints to be deployed, updated, and transformed on the fly, without reboot, reimaging, or residual state. This approach represents a fundamental shift from traditional endpoint security and endpoint management models that rely on patching and monitoring persistent operating systems.

“Instead of managing machines, organizations manage intent; what an endpoint is allowed to do, when it can do it, and under whose authority,” said Galgano. “That shift is only possible when endpoints are stateless by design.”

Platform Capabilities and Use Cases

The stateless endpoint platform supports a wide range of use cases including:

– Public-facing kiosks and digital signage
– Industrial control systems and operational technology environments
– Regulated enterprise access points
– Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) implementations

Scylos also enables emerging capabilities such as ShapeShifter™, allowing policy-driven endpoint persona changes on the fly, with no reboot, reimaging, or residual data, enabling a single device to serve multiple functions across different security contexts. “Scylos was designed from day one to operate at scale without the fragility of traditional endpoint stacks,” said Gregg Struve, CEO of Scylos. “This funding allows us to accelerate deployments, expand pilot programs, and continue refining a platform that delivers real-world reliability in always-on and security-critical environments.”

Market Momentum for Stateless Infrastructure

The oversubscribed round reflects growing market demand for architectures that move beyond traditional operating systems in favor of centrally controlled, ephemeral execution models; particularly in environments where uptime, security, and compliance are critical.

“The stateless endpoint approach eliminates entire categories of vulnerabilities that have plagued traditional endpoint management for decades,” added Galgano. “We’re seeing strong interest from organizations that can’t afford downtime or the risk exposure of persistent OS layers.”

Current Deployment and Availability

Scylos is commercially available today and supports phased, production-ready onboarding across enterprise, industrial, and public-sector environments, with deployments proceeding as customers complete internal validation, compliance, and security approvals.

About Scylos

Scylos is a stateless endpoint infrastructure platform designed to eliminate operating system persistence from the endpoint trust model. Built on ZeroCore™ and governed through Scylos Switchboard™, the platform enables organizations to securely deploy, control, and transform endpoints on the fly, without reboot, patching, or local data retention. Scylos is purpose-built for security-first, always-on, and public-facing environments where traditional endpoint management creates unacceptable risk and operational overhead.
