description: >-
  Bromium was an endpoint-security company founded in 2010 that pioneered
  application isolation through hardware-enforced micro-virtualization,
  running each untrusted task (a web page, email attachment, or downloaded
  file) inside its own disposable CPU-level micro-VM so malware could not
  escape to the host. Bromium was surfaced as a portfolio company of a16z
  and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Hewlett-Packard (HP Inc.) acquired
  Bromium in September 2019 and folded the micro-virtualization technology
  into HP Sure Click and the HP Wolf Security endpoint-protection line;
  bromium.com now permanently redirects to HP's endpoint-security pages.
  Bromium no longer operates as an independent entity and publishes no
  standalone public developer API, so this profile carries company identity
  only rather than API artifacts.
