Cybersecurity hardware developer providing air-gapped data protection devices for enterprises, focused on immutable offline ransomware recovery.
HyperBunker, based in Central Europe, develops hardware-based, air-gapped devices designed to protect critical data from ransomware by isolating it in an immutable, software-free vault with one-way data transfer. The solution ensures business continuity through offline recovery, drawing on the founders' experience from over 50,000 data recovery cases. Operating on a hardware-as-a-service model, the company raised €800,000 in seed funding in 2025, achieving a post-money valuation of €4.8 million. This round was led by Fil Rouge Capital and Sunfish Venture Capital, supporting HyperBunker's expansion into the US and EMEA markets. The organization, a spin-out from InfoLAB Data Recovery, was founded in 2024 by Boštjan Kirm and Imran Nino Eskic. Its business model centers on hardware-as-a-service model for ransomware protection and data resilience devices.

HyperBunker is a cybersecurity startup based in Zagreb, Croatia, that builds a hardware-based, air-gapped offline data vault using data diode technology to protect critical business data from ransomware, cyberattacks, hardware failures, and human errors.[1][2][3] It serves enterprises and organizations handling vital information—such as financial records, client files, and legal documents—acting as a last-resort backup of backups with immutable, content-agnostic storage that enforces one-way data writes via programmable logic controllers (PLCs), enabling recovery of pre-attack data generations even if malware infiltrates.[1][3] The product solves the core problem of data loss in recovery scenarios, where traditional backups fail, by providing physically isolated, spaced-generation copies that cannot be altered or deleted, drawing from 50,000 real-world data recovery cases at parent company InfoLAB.[1][4] With €800,000 in seed funding raised recently, HyperBunker shows strong early momentum toward commercial launch of its next-generation anti-ransomware device.[5][6]
HyperBunker emerged as an offshoot of InfoLAB, a data recovery firm in Zagreb, Croatia, founded by CEO Bostjan Kirm and CTO Imran Nino Eškić (also InfoLAB's CEO), who drew from decades of hands-on experience shipping in locked servers from ransomware victims across Europe.[1] The idea crystallized from frustration in InfoLAB's labs in Zagreb and Verona: despite advanced cyber tools, companies often arrived with irrecoverable data, forcing negotiations with ransomware brokers, prompting Eškić to design a truly offline protection for critical assets.[1] Pivotal early traction came from observing patterns in over 50,000 recovery cases, leading to the 2025 seed raise of €800,000 (~$925,000) from investors like Fil Rouge Capital to launch the diode-based vault.[1][2][5][6] Investor Matt Peterman highlighted this real-world pain as the spark, humanizing the founders' shift from recovery "doctors" to preventive bunker builders.[1]
HyperBunker's edge lies in its hardware-first, physically immutable approach, distinct from software backups:
HyperBunker rides the explosive ransomware and cyber-resilience trend, where attacks have surged with AI aiding hackers to evade detections, and 43% of data-loss victims never reopen (51% within two years).[3] Timing is ideal amid 2025's heightened focus on immutable, air-gapped storage post-high-profile breaches, as market forces like regulatory demands (e.g., for utilities) and human-error vulnerabilities (95% of breaches) expose gaps in cloud/endpoint protections.[1][3] It influences the ecosystem by democratizing military-grade diodes for enterprises, complementing tools from Veeam or Rubrik, and bridging data recovery expertise to prevention—potentially accelerating adoption in regulated sectors like finance and critical infrastructure.[1][2]
HyperBunker is poised to scale its seed-funded vault into a must-have for ransomware-weary enterprises, with next steps including global rollout, partnerships via Fil Rouge Capital's network, and expansions like AI-resistant generations or managed services.[2][5][6] Trends like AI-orchestrated attacks and zero-trust mandates will propel demand, evolving its role from niche recovery add-on to standard resilience layer. As cyber threats intensify, HyperBunker's offline bunker could redefine "last line of defense," turning data desperation into unbreakable continuity—proving that true protection starts where digital ends.[1][3]
