Jericho Security, a New York-based cybersecurity firm specialising in AI-powered employee awareness training, has secured $15m in a Series A funding round.
According to Security Week, the investment was led by Era Fund, with participation from Dash, Distique, Fog, Gaingels Enterprise and Gaingels AI, HENRY, Lux Capital, Metalab, Plug & Play, and Textbook. This latest round brings Jericho Security’s total funding to $20m.
Founded in 2023, Jericho Security has developed cutting-edge solutions to help organisations defend against cyberthreats, including phishing attacks and AI-enabled deepfakes. Its platform uses generative AI to create highly personalised and realistic simulations, designed to train employees to spot and respond to threats.
The company plans to use the new capital to recruit cybersecurity talent, enhance its research and development capabilities, and expand its go-to-market strategies.
Jericho Security’s platform stands out for its use of dark web intelligence, replicating genuine attacker tactics to continuously adapt training material to the specific needs of each team member. Organisations can easily access Jericho Security’s services through a self-service portal offering a seven-day free trial, with the option to transition to a paid subscription without needing to engage with a sales representative.
Jericho Security CEO Sage Wohns said, “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 And it won’t be stopped by outdated rules or legacy infrastructure.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.”
