Delighted to announce the acquisition of our portfolio company Foundries.io by Qualcomm. Founders George Grey and Ian Drew recognised early the growing gap in embedded systems cybersecurity and so built the Foundries platform to offer a radically more robust yet flexible approach to Linux security.
