Kerys Software is a European (Palaiseau, France) cybersecurity company behind YS::Desktop, a Type 1 hypervisor that runs multiple fully isolated environments on a single workstation. By preallocating dedicated CPU cores to the hypervisor versus VM workloads and adding hypervisor-level encryption, YS::Desktop closes VM escape and cross-VM attack vectors while sustaining roughly 92% native performance. It replaces dedicated admin machines, air-gapped OT laptops, and traditional VDI for regulated organizations in aerospace and defense, energy, finance, construction, and the public sector, with a mandatory Security Domain model (no unmanaged VMs) administered through the YAC console. The company positions around NIS2, IEC 62443, and ANSSI multi-environment workstation guidance and sells 100% through resellers. Kerys does not publish a public developer API, developer portal, SDKs, or pricing; it was surfaced as a Seedcamp portfolio company and enriched here from its public site.
