Why Choose AIDA?

Generic security awareness training is no longer enough in your complex work environment. Trying to run a one-size-fits-all program creates operational burden—leading to manual effort, low user engagement, slow iteration on content, and a limited real-world impact on human risk. 

AIDA is a suite of AI Agents for human risk management that continuously automates administration and content personalization so security teams can focus on strategic risk decisions rather than operational tasks.

We Didn't Join The AI Revolution,
We Started It.

KnowBe4 has spent a decade architecting the future of AI-driven risk management. This foundation of in-market data has been forged into a smarter, faster engine that automates manual tasks, allowing you to shift your focus to the strategic decisions that truly move the needle.
