Rethinking Container Security from the Kernel Up | A Brand Story with Emily Long and Kaylin Trychon from Edera | An RSAC Conference 2025 Pre-Event Conversation
In this pre-event Brand Story On Location conversation recorded live from RSAC Conference 2025, Emily Long, Co-Founder and CEO of Edera, and Kaylin Trychon, Head of Communications, introduce a new approach to container security—one that doesn’t just patch problems, but prevents them entirely.
Edera, just over a year old, is focused on reimagining how containers are built and run by taking a hardware-up approach rather than layering security on from the top down. Their system eliminates lateral movement and living-off-the-land attacks from the outset by operating below the kernel, resulting in simplified, proactive protection across cloud and on-premises environments.
What’s notable is not just the technology, but the philosophy behind it. As Emily explains, organizations have grown accustomed to the limitations of containerization and the technical debt that comes with it. Edera challenges this assumption by revisiting foundational virtualization principles, drawing inspiration from technologies like Xen hypervisors, and applying them in modern ways to support today’s use cases, including AI and GPU-driven environments.
Kaylin adds that this design-first approach means security isn’t bolted on later—it’s embedded from the start. And yet, it’s done without disruption. Teams don’t need to scrap what they have or undertake complex rebuilds. The system works with existing environments to reduce complexity and ease compliance burdens like FedRAMP.
For those grappling with infrastructure pain points—whether you’re in product security, DevOps, or infrastructure—this conversation is worth a listen. Edera’s vision is bold, but their delivery is practical. And yes, you’ll find them roaming the show floor in bold pink—“mobile booth,” zero fluff.
Listen to the episode to hear what it really means to be “secure by design” in the age of AI and container sprawl.
