Our Story

Runtime security for modern infrastructure

We build security for developers who want to move fast without breaking things. Garnet gives you visibility and control in today's complex environments, helping catch threats before they impact your users.

Our Journey

We're a team of builders, hackers, and OSS maintainers united with an ambition to combine best in class infra, developer experience, and security expertise to empower modern teams pushing the frontier.

Garnet's story began in 2017 when founders Farrukh and Umar, friends of 15 years, experienced a devastating cryptomining supply chain attack at their ML infrastructure startup. This crucial moment inspired them to create the security tool they wished they'd had - one built with a deep understanding of developers' needs, modern technology stacks, and emerging security threats.

Our engineering team brings world-class expertise in eBPF and observability infrastructure. Including core maintainers of Aqua Tracee and Fluentbit, and having built and scaled critical systems at companies like RedHat, Canonical, IBM, and Chronosphere, we deeply understand what it takes to build next-gen security infrastructure.
