About LumixSys

We're building the security platform the quantum era deserves.

184 enterprises depend on us. Every line of code we ship is signed, every key we rotate is attested, and every model we deploy is explainable. This is how we work — and who we work with.

Our mission

A future where no enterprise has to ransom its own data back from a 2030 attacker.

We started LumixSys after watching the industry repeat the same mistake — bolt one more agent onto the stack, raise more rounds to keep up, and treat compliance as a yearly cleanup. The quantum transition makes that strategy fatal. The cryptography under your business is changing for the first time in 50 years. The only way through is a platform that handles primitives, AI defense, and continuous evidence in one mesh.

Our team has shipped runtime security at Datadog, identity at Okta, and CSPM at Wiz. Our chief scientist co-authored Kyber's security proof. Our advisors include the last commander of U.S. Cyber Command JTF and former CISOs of JPMorgan and Dropbox. We're not trying to reinvent security. We're trying to ship the platform we always wished we had — and let security teams sleep.

We're a 142-person team across Boston, London, and Singapore. We're hiring everywhere.

Investors

Backed by the firms that built our industry.

We've raised $80M to date. We pick investors the way our customers pick us — for the long-term technical bet, not the hype.

Values

The four commitments that guide us.

Crypto-honest

We publish the math. We open-source the reference implementations. If a primitive breaks, you'll hear it from us first.

AI you can audit

Every ARIA decision ships with an explanation a human can defend in writing.

Boring infrastructure

Security should be interesting. Operating it shouldn't be. We obsess over the unglamorous reliability.

Trust earned in writing

We publish quarterly Trust Reports with control deviations, SLO breaches, and lessons learned.
