Been building this with @MrRazzi17. AI made social engineering cheap, fast, and scarily good. Your employees get phished. Your AI agents get phished. We test both continuously. @cimentoai is live. 🚀

New founding engineer at Cimento. Alex Smith joins from Palo Alto Networks, where he was Senior Staff on the DLP and CASB team. Before that: Spotify, Rivian, and nearly four years building ad infrastructure at Jelli. He knows the threat surface we're defending from the inside. Welcome, Alex. 🔩

So many cool models to play with!

An intern and a CFO both click on a phishing sim. Most scores give them the same number. The risk isn't the same. New from our founding engineer, Huey Kolowich, on why risk scores need two halves and how we built ours. cimento.ai/articles/the-othe…

New engineer at @cimentoai . Clayton Crockett → Founding Engineer. Early Jasper built an AI infrastructure on GPT-3 and GPT-4. Engineering lead at Podium and Divvy before that. Self-taught. Thinks differently. He was #1 on our list. Glad he's on this side now.

new office! environments shape cognition more than people admit. Excited for what gets built here 🚀🙏🏾

Big milestone for Cimento 🧵 SACR just dropped their first-ever coverage of the Human Risk Management category — and we're featured as an emerging connective layer in the new stack. The thesis: HRM is being rewritten. Annual training click rates aren't enough when AI can impersonate anyone and your employees are delegating work to AI agents. The new risk surface = the person the workflow the delegated machine action. All three, together. What SACR highlighted about Cimento: → Multi-turn social engineering simulation → Contextual, company-specific risk scoring → Agent-aware governance tied back to the human sponsor → Operational response into identity, DLP security tools We're building HRM as a continuous security function, not a checkbox.

Meet Sam Bostick, one of our founding engineers at @cimentoai Founding engineer at Vectrix → acquired by @Cloudflare → Systems Engineer on the CASB team → now building at Cimento. Sam's been at the frontier of cloud security before it was cool, and he's bringing that same energy to AI. Oh, and when he's not shipping, he's wrenching on cars or hiking with Bella 🐾 Glad to have you, Sam. 🔩

Isn't Colossus 2 built on GB200s? Why measure in H100-equivalents, just to hit the 'million' mark? 🤔

Cimento is building an important layer of the security stack to address the weakest link in the compromise chain - humans ->

Human behavior is security's biggest blind spot. We've raised ~$3M in pre-seed funding from @BoweryCapital, @indievc, and angels from Cloudflare, Palo Alto, Cursor, Nvidia, and Okta to fix it. 🧵

Zain is one of one. He makes the difficult things look easy and inspires people with one conversation. @cimentoai AI is solving a problem compounding by the day: accounting for the security risk of both humans and agents in the enterprise. Incredibly excited to see this launch! 📈

Awesome! Congrats on your launch and solving an ever increasingly important challenge for companies

Couldn't be more impressed with what I've seen from @MrRazzi17 and the @cimentoai team so far. Shipping real product to real customers generating real revenue to solve a very real problem. Every day their surface area for opportunity increases. Just getting started.

The way enterprises manage human risk hasn't changed in 20 years. Annual trainings. Phishing simulations. Completion dashboards. That's a compliance program, not a security program. That's why I backed @cimentoai and @MrRazzi17. They're out of stealth today — and they're the first platform that scores both humans and agents. cimento.ai

Zain and team are building something absolutely incredible. Check them out!!! 👇

having @thinkshiv backing us has been nothing short of a privilege!

Excited for the launch of @cimentoai. Strong founders, an area that needs disruption and great taste for good product.

Fun picture one of our first investors just sent me of me, @zatlyn, and @icqheretic (the cofounding team of @Cloudflare) from the back patio of our first office (542 Emerson in Palo Alto) circa 2010. Best advice for founders: take more pictures.
