Jericho Security Launches AI-Powered Cybersecurity Training Platform, Secures $15M Series A

Jericho Security, a New York-based cybersecurity startup, has introduced a self-service AI platform that delivers hyper-personalized phishing and deepfake simulations across email, messaging, voice, and video. Built on proprietary agentic AI, the system adapts dynamically to evolving threats and is already in use by the U.S. Department of Defense under a 2024 contract.

The company recently closed a $15M Series A round led by Era Ventures with participation from Lux and other partners, following early support from FoundersX. Jericho has also partnered with a leading insurer and telecommunications provider to integrate industry-specific threat intelligence.

Honored with four Global InfoSec Awards at RSA Conference 2025, Jericho is scaling globally to make advanced cybersecurity training accessible to organizations of all sizes.
