Herd Security raises $3 million for AI-powered security training

Per Silicon Angle, Herd Security Inc. has announced a $3 million funding round to enhance its AI-driven security awareness training platform. The startup aims to expand its product offerings into new training categories, improve its AI video generation, and broaden its partner network.

Founded in 2025, Herd Security provides an agentic AI platform designed for continuous security awareness training. It offers an alternative to traditional annual compliance programs, enabling security and GRC teams to create customized training content, scenarios, and assessments by integrating organizational context and real-time threat intelligence. Customers can upload their policies and security data to generate short training modules, delivered via platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams in various formats, including video and conversational AI.

The company aims to address the growing gap between evolving threats and employee security habit formation, citing research that indicates it can take years to influence behavior and shape security culture. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 40% of social engineering attacks will target executives and the broader workforce. The funding round was led by Aspiron Ventures Ltd., with participation from other notable investors.
