Echo Platform

Echo Secure Container Platform delivers CVE-free container base images that eliminate vulnerabilities at the source rather than attempting to patch them after deployment. The platform addresses a critical enterprise security challenge: official Docker images for Python, Node.js, Go, and Ruby each contain over 1,000 known vulnerabilities at download, and research shows 90% of container vulnerabilities originate from the base image layer rather than application code. Echo rebuilds container images from scratch using autonomous AI agents that strip unnecessary components while preserving full functionality, creating hardened drop-in replacements for standard Docker images that require changing only a single line of code in Dockerfiles. Organizations immediately see their vulnerability count drop to zero when migrating to Echo images, eliminating the inherited security debt that plagues traditional container deployments.

Echo's AI-driven approach operates through purpose-built security agents that autonomously create and maintain over 600 secure container images with a team of just 35 engineers—a task that would traditionally require hundreds of security researchers. The platform continuously monitors the 4,000+ new CVEs added monthly to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and conducts unstructured research across GitHub comments, developer forums, and security blogs to identify patches before they are widely published. When vulnerabilities are discovered, agents automatically identify affected images, research or develop fixes, apply patches, run comprehensive compatibility tests, and create pull requests for human review with a 24-hour remediation SLA. This "self-healing" infrastructure enables engineering teams to focus on feature delivery rather than vulnerability management, with customers like EDB reporting savings of 235+ developer hours per release by eliminating false positive investigation and manual base image patching.

Echo was founded in 2025 by Eilon Elhadad (CEO) and Eylam Milner (CTO), veterans of Israel's elite Unit 8200 who previously co-founded Argon Security (acquired by Aqua Security for $100M). The company raised $50M in just 10 months, completing a $15M seed round in July 2025 led by Notable Capital and Hyperwise Ventures, followed by a $35M Series A in December 2025 led by N47 with participation from SentinelOne's S Ventures. Echo images are fully compatible with Debian and Ubuntu distributions, enabling straightforward migration without application refactoring or rewrites, and the platform provides Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), supply chain attestations, and cryptographic signatures for provenance verification. The company is expanding beyond containers to cover virtual machines and open-source libraries, building what investors describe as an "AI-native operating system" for secure-by-design cloud computing in the enterprise AI era.
