HYPERBUNKER , a European startup focused on ransomware resilience, has raised €800,000 (about $925,000) in seed funding to increase production capacity for its next-generation anti-ransomware device, according to SecurityWeek. The round comes from Fil Rouge Capital and Sunfish Venture Capital, and the device was conceived within InfoLAB Data Recovery by founder and CEO Imran Nino Eskic, who serves as CTO, with co-founder Bostjan Kirm (CEO at HyperBunker).
The hardware-based system is described as local, air-gapped from the network, software-free, and immutable, designed to backups that cannot be attacked by ransomware and to enable restoration of original clean data. HyperBunker collects critical data at regular pre-set intervals with no human interaction after setup, and recovery fully restores the original structure of the data.
The article notes the wider ransomware threat landscape, including the UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025 and figures from Optiv and Sophos referenced in the piece. Written by Kevin Townsend and published on 14 October 2025, the piece frames HyperBunker’s approach as a third option to avoid both paying ransoms and risking data loss.
