Gen-AI-powered cybersecurity awareness training startup Jericho Security today announced raising $15 million in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $20 million.
The new investment round was led by Era Fund, with additional support from Dash, Distique, Fog, Gaingels Enterprise and Gaingels AI, HENRY, Lux Capital, Metalab, Plug & Play, and Textbook.
Founded in 2023, the New York-based company has built AI-powered employee cybersecurity training solutions to help organizations address cyberthreats such as phishing or AI-enabled deepfakes.
Jericho Security enables organizations to run hyper-realistic personalized attack simulations to train employees to identify real-world threats, to track their progress, and to escalate difficulty and rewards based on completion.
Powered by dark web intelligence to replicate attacker techniques, the training material is tailored for each team member, and continuously adapts to the organization’s needs.
Jericho Security provides organizations with a self-service registration feature so they can sign-up for a seven-day free trial in minutes, and even convert it to a paid subscription without having to contact a sales representative.
Jericho Security will use the new investment to hire cybersecurity talent, expand R&D efforts, and scale go-to-market strategies.
“Phishing isn’t static like templates anymore. It’s dynamic. It learns. It targets. And it won’t be stopped by outdated rules or legacy infrastructure. We knew the future required a new kind of defense — one powered by intelligent, collaborative AI agents that could outlearn and outmaneuver the most sophisticated threats,” Jericho Security CEO Sage Wohns said.
