Newest AI Defense Agent uses Generative AI to create bespoke security awareness experiences aligned to organizational requirements
KnowBe4, the global leader in digital workforce security, securing both AI agents and humans, has today announced the latest evolution in its portfolio with the launch of its new two-tier Security Awareness Training (SAT) offering and a new AI defense agent for custom content creation.
The most comprehensive security awareness training is available in two tiers: SAT Advanced and SAT Foundation. SAT Foundation helps organizations establish a strong security baseline and focuses on core risk management with a streamlined content library and select AI features. SAT Advanced unlocks the full library of KnowBe4’s market-leading security awareness training, combined with its groundbreaking suite of AI Defense Agents (AIDA), including the Orchestration Agent that fully automates program administration, and the Deepfake Training Content Agent that generates a custom deepfake training experience, featuring an organization’s own leader.
In addition, the new Content Creation Agent will be available as part of AIDA and leverages generative AI and natural language prompting to turn an organization’s internal policies and materials into bespoke training experiences. Organizations can define their preferred style, tone and duration or start a new training from scratch using a simple prompt. The Content Creation Agent generates complete, text-based training packages with modules and quizzes that can be translated into 30 languages and either published directly to an organization’s training campaign or exported for use in their external Learning Management System (LMS). Coupling the Content Creation Agent with KnowBe4’s partnership with Synthesia for instantly localized, AI-powered bespoke video, provides the comprehensive solution organizations need for their custom training requirements.
Supported by more than 15 years of threat intelligence and user behavior data, KnowBe4’s SmartRisk Engine analyzes 316 indicators such as employees’ Phish-prone™ Percentage, how well they identify deepfakes and how employees interact with AI to create the most accurate Risk Score in the industry. The combination of this Risk Score and AIDA, which automates program administration and personalizes content, creates a continuous improvement cycle for customers.
“The introduction of our AIDA Content Creation Agent and launch of our new SAT tiers is the next step in providing industry-leading digital workforce security,” says Greg Kras, Chief Product Officer at KnowBe4. “We are focused on the rapid expansion of AIDA, providing customers with increasing ease-of-use through powerful automation, and ensuring our security awareness training continues to be the most effective on the market.”
