Salt Lake City-based cybersecurity startup Cimento AI has secured $3 million in pre-seed funding to accelerate development of its AI-native human risk management platform. The round was backed by Bowery Capital and Indie.vc , alongside strategic angels from companies including Cloudflare, Okta, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Snyk, and Fastly. Founded by security and infrastructure veterans from Cloudflare, Amazon, Palantir, and Palo Alto Networks, Cimento AI is building a platform designed to continuously assess and reduce security threats caused by employee behavior and emerging AI agent risks inside enterprises. The company’s platform uses AI-driven behavioral analysis to identify risky actions, insider threats, phishing susceptibility, and vulnerabilities linked to both human users and autonomous AI systems. As enterprises rapidly adopt generative and agentic AI tools, the startup aims to address the growing challenge of securing increasingly complex digital workforces. Cimento AI stated that the fresh capital will support platform expansion, product development, and scaling of engineering and cybersecurity operations as demand for AI-native security infrastructure accelerates globally. The funding reflects increasing investor interest in next-generation cybersecurity platforms focused on managing risks emerging from AI adoption, workforce behavior, and automated enterprise systems.
