Jericho Security Receives $15 Million for Training in AI-Powered Awareness

Today, Jericho Security, a company that specializes in using AI for cybersecurity training, announced it has raised $15 million in a Series A funding round, bringing its total funding to $20 million.

The latest funding was led by Era Fund, with contributions from other investors like Dash, Distique, Fog, Gaingels Enterprise, Gaingels AI, HENRY, Lux Capital, Metalab, Plug & Play, and Textbook.

Established in 2023 and based in New York, Jericho Security has developed AI-powered training solutions aimed at helping businesses confront modern cyber threats such as phishing and sophisticated deepfakes.

The company provides businesses with highly realistic attack simulations that train employees to recognize real threats. As employees improve, the simulations become more difficult, with greater rewards for completion.

The training uses intelligence from the dark web to mimic attacker strategies and is personalized for each team member. It continuously adapts to meet the changing needs of the organization.

Jericho Security offers an easy registration process, allowing businesses to sign up for a free seven-day trial in just minutes. This trial can be upgraded to a paid subscription seamlessly, without needing to contact a sales team.

With the new funding, Jericho Security plans to recruit more cybersecurity experts, boost research and development, and strengthen their marketing strategies.

CEO Sage Wohns remarked on the changing nature of phishing, noting that it has become more complex and targeted than ever. According to Wohns, traditional defenses are no longer sufficient. A new approach powered by smart, adaptable AI is necessary to anticipate and counteract sophisticated threats.
