Ciphero
AI Security Verification Platform
Executive Summary
Ciphero emerged from stealth in late 2025 with a $2.5M funding round and a compelling product: an AI-native verification layer for enterprise AI security. The founding team includes Saoud Khalifah and Rob Gross, who previously built Fakespot (acquired by Mozilla in 2023).
Across 15 buying-intent prompts tested on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, Ciphero was mentioned zero times. Competitors Noma Security, HiddenLayer, Protect AI, and Lakera are consistently cited and recommended across every AI platform tested.
