Cranium is an AI security and software firm that enables organizations to gain visibility, security, and compliance across their AI and GenAI systems. Its Cranium Enterprise software platform lets organizations map, monitor, and manage AI/ML environments against adversarial threats without interrupting how teams train, test, and deploy models. The platform also helps organizations quickly gather and share information about model trustworthiness and compliance with third parties, clients, and regulators. Led by CEO Jonathan Dambrot, the company was incubated and funded in stealth inside KPMG Studio. Cranium is based in Short Hills, New Jersey, and plans to use new funding for innovation, research and development, and business expansion. The company has raised $32M to date following its $25M Series A. Cranium provides a platform to discover and give visibility to AI systems at the client level, offering security reporting, monitoring, and supply chain visibility for AI lifecycles. Its core product maps AI pipelines, validates their security, and monitors for threats such as data poisoning and text-based attacks while operating within existing ML training and testing environments. Customers can capture both in-development and deployed AI pipelines and associated assets to establish an AI security framework for security and data science teams. The company plans to build a rich repository of telemetry and to use its own AI models to proactively identify risks across its client base. Cranium competes with other AI-robustness vendors such as HiddenLayer, Robust Intelligence, CalypsoAI and Troj.ai. It currently has no customers or revenue, employs about 30 full-time staff, and expects to grow to roughly 40–50 employees by year end.
