Herd Security, an agentic AI creative platform built for continuous security training and simulation, today announced a $3M funding round with strategic investment from Aspiron Ventures alongside participation from Team Ignite, ForwardSlash VC, Forum Ventures, Rightside Capital, and YPO. Designed for security and GRC teams, the platform enables practitioners to leverage AI as a creative partner, replacing static training programs that fail to engage employees with dynamic curricula built for the rise of AI-driven and increasingly advanced threats. The capital will expand product development across new training categories in HR and AI, optimize AI-powered video generation capabilities, and grow the company’s partnership ecosystem.

Gartner predicts that by 2028, 40% of social engineering attacks will target executives and the broader workforce, expanding the scope of human risk and putting pressure on enterprises to rethink security awareness. Yet according to the SANS Institute, it can take 3-5 years for organizations to influence employee behavior and up to a decade to shape security culture.

Unlike traditional security awareness training solutions that rely on a periodic, one-size-fits-all approach for reducing human risk in the enterprise, Herd gives practitioners the ability to create training content, scenarios, and assessments that bring in organizational context and active-threat scenarios. Customers using the platform can:
- Import policies, compliance frameworks, and security data, which Herd automatically parses, understands, and updates when changes are made
- Generate tailored micro-training in seconds using prompts aligned with organizational needs
- Deliver training anywhere across existing tools employees already use, in formats like text, video, image, and conversational AI
