About Minimus
At a glance
Minimus is a cybersecurity company specializing in Cloud Security, founded in 2022 and headquartered in New York, United States. It has raised $51M in total funding, employs about 73 people, and is privately held.
Minimus provides container and cloud security solutions for cloud-native applications. The company was founded by the same team that created Twistlock, which was later acquired by Palo Alto Networks. Their core offering focuses on reducing container vulnerabilities through hardened container images and secure Helm charts. The company's platform includes hundreds of pre-hardened container images, secure Helm charts, and a custom image builder designed to help organizations avoid a significant portion of container CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). Their approach centers on providing security at the container level, addressing vulnerabilities before deployment rather than relying solely on runtime protection. Minimus serves organizations running containerized workloads and cloud-native applications, particularly those using Kubernetes and container orchestration platforms. The company's solution aims to reduce the attack surface by providing containers that are built with security hardening from the start. The leadership team includes Ben Bernstein (CEO), Dima Stopel (VP R&D), and John Morello (CTO), all of whom previously worked at Twistlock, Palo Alto Networks, and Microsoft. The company is backed by venture capital firms including YL Ventures, Mayfield, Rain Capital, and OVF, along with investments from founders of major cybersecurity companies such as Wiz, CyberArk, CrowdStrike, and others. The company operates offices in Baton Rouge, Tel Aviv, New York City, and Portland.
