Bromium

Bromium was an endpoint-security company founded in 2010 that pioneered application isolation through hardware-enforced micro-virtualization, running each untrusted task (a web page, email attachment, or downloaded file) inside its own disposable CPU-level micro-VM so malware could not escape to the host. Bromium was surfaced as a portfolio company of a16z and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Hewlett-Packard (HP Inc.) acquired Bromium in September 2019 and folded the micro-virtualization technology into HP Sure Click and the HP Wolf Security endpoint-protection line; bromium.com now permanently redirects to HP's endpoint-security pages. Bromium no longer operates as an independent entity and publishes no standalone public developer API, so this profile carries company identity only rather than API artifacts.

Bromium is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Endpoint Security, Cybersecurity, and Micro-virtualization.
