Zeroport Secures $10m Funding to Redefine Secure Remote Access, Targets North America and APAC Expansion
Zeroport, a provider of non-IP secure remote access solutions, has raised $10 million in a funding round aimed at accelerating global expansion and advancing product development. The round was led by lool ventures, with participation from Clarim Ventures, CyberFuture (backed by Elron Ventures), and Fusion Fund.

The investment comes as enterprises worldwide grapple with persistent vulnerabilities in traditional IP-based remote access systems, weaknesses that have resulted in high-profile breaches, including compromises linked to VPN technologies used by critical institutions.
Driving Global Expansion and Product Innovation
Zeroport said the new capital will support its expansion into North America and APAC, increase its workforce from 25 to 40 employees within a year, and further enhance its flagship Fantom platform.
The company already provides secure remote access to large organisations across critical infrastructure, power, financial services, and government sectors, demonstrating strong real-world adoption. Zeroport is positioning itself to capture a share of a $30 billion secure remote access market, which is growing at an estimated 20% annually.
Addressing Fundamental Flaws in IP-Based Remote Access
According to Zeroport, the secure remote access market remains fundamentally broken because existing solutions rely on IP-based communication. This architecture enables malware infiltration and data exfiltration, exposing sensitive internal systems and data.
These vulnerabilities, the company notes, are so severe that even top cyber defence agencies have suffered breaches through VPN devices. As a result, organisations are often forced to choose between remaining offline or relying on complex and outdated remote access infrastructures.
Fantom Platform Introduces Non-IP Hardware-Based Security
Zeroport’s Fantom platform introduces what the company describes as the first non-IP-based secure remote access solution, built on patented hardware technology. The system creates a physical non-IP bridge at network boundaries, ensuring that inbound flows are limited strictly to human interaction signals, while outbound flows are restricted to display-only pixel streams.
With no packets physically entering or leaving the network, malware cannot penetrate systems and sensitive data cannot be exfiltrated. This architecture allows organisations to maintain full visibility and control over remote sessions while significantly improving security.
Proven Impact Across Critical Sectors
The company says its approach is already delivering measurable value. One systems integrator reportedly eliminated $5 million in annual travel costs by using Zeroport’s technology to enable secure remote monitoring and maintenance—capabilities previously unattainable with traditional remote access tools.
By replacing complex legacy stacks, Zeroport claims its solution reduces operational costs while enabling secure remote operations in highly sensitive environments.
Leadership and Investor Confidence
“For 40 years, organisations have been forced to choose between staying offline for security reasons or relying on vulnerable legacy systems,” said Joseph Gertz, Co-founder and CEO of Zeroport.
“We’ve proven that a hardware-based approach can secure critical assets while saving enterprises millions. With this funding, we’re scaling our team and reach to transform secure connectivity worldwide.”
Yaniv Golan, Managing Partner at lool ventures, said the firm identified IP-based architecture as the core flaw in existing remote access solutions. He noted that validation from Fortune 500 CISOs and adoption by critical infrastructure providers highlight the urgency of a hardware-based paradigm shift.
Industry Validation and Deep Technical Expertise
Zeroport has gained additional validation through participation in Singapore’s CyberBoost Catalyse programme and backing from CyberFuture, a venture capital firm supported by Elron Ventures and composed of CISOs from major enterprises, including Siemens Energy.
The company holds multiple patents and serves customers across industrial, financial, defence, and industrial control systems (ICS) sectors.
The founding team brings deep cybersecurity and hardware expertise from elite military intelligence backgrounds. CEO Joseph Gertz has over 15 years of global business leadership experience, while Co-founder and CTO Lavi Friedman and COO Rotem Kalmi are alumni of Israel Defense Forces’ elite Unit 81.
Industry Leaders Endorse Paradigm Shift
Judith Wunschik, Global CISO at Siemens Energy, said growing geopolitical uncertainty has made cyber resilience more critical than ever, describing Zeroport’s approach as a fundamental rethink of remote access for sensitive operational technology environments.
Clarim Ventures’ Managing Partner Yishay Waxman added that feedback from IT and security partners across North America consistently labels Zeroport’s technology a “game-changer,” with strong demand from insurance, finance, energy, and critical infrastructure sectors.
