North Pole Security, a cybersecurity startup focused on macOS protection, has raised $4m in seed funding.
The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz and will support product development and go-to-market expansion for its flagship platform, Workshop.
The company offers enterprise-grade endpoint protection that blocks threats before they occur, moving away from reactive EDR models.
Workshop is built on Santa, an open source tool created by the firm’s founders at Google. It uses advanced allowlisting and automation to stop threats proactively without disrupting workflows.
North Pole Security CEO Pete Markowsky said, “macOS is quietly taking over the business endpoint world. One out of every five business machines in the U.S. are now running macOS, but the industry still lacks a real security playbook for it. Workshop enables teams to confidently lock down macOS endpoints at scale without compromising usability or introducing operational overhead.”
Markowsky added, “We’ve worked hand-in-hand with Fortune 500 design partners to ensure Workshop is not only secure, but usable in the real world. Security teams are no longer forced to choose between strong protection and operational flexibility.”
