KnowBe4 Accelerates the Future of Human Risk Management with Expanding Suite of AI Agents

AI Defense Agents reduce administrative burden and transform security operations from a cost center to a competitive advantage

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSAC 2026 Conference--KnowBe4, the world-renowned platform that comprehensively addresses human and agentic AI risk management, is setting the pace in human risk management (HRM) with its rapidly expanding AI-native agent suite, AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Defense Agents). With multiple AI agents already available and more soon to be announced, KnowBe4 is the only platform delivering this depth of autonomous capability.

As organizations struggle to keep pace with AI-powered threats, KnowBe4 is scaling its suite of autonomous agents to deliver a new standard for HRM - one that is personalized, adaptive and fully automated.

AIDA harnesses 15 years of user behavior and threat intelligence data to supercharge security operations. By automating complex workflows, from phishing simulations to risk assessment, AIDA reduces administrative burden from hours to seconds, meaning security teams can focus on strategic risk decisions rather than operational tasks.

Recent additions to AIDA, cementing KnowBe4’s position at the forefront of the industry, include:

  • AIDA Orchestration Agent: An autonomous system that independently creates, schedules, and manages personalized security awareness training (SAT) and personalized phishing simulations at the user level, dynamically adapting to individual risk profiles, without the need for human administration. Users reduce their risk score by almost three times compared with non-AIDA customers.
  • Deepfake Training Content Agent: AI-generated custom deepfake training content featuring a leader from your own organization.
  • Custom SAPA Agent: Provides tailored security awareness measurement based on your specific policies and environment.

“We’re leading the way in AI-powered defense but we’re still only scratching the surface of what autonomous AI can do for security teams. Our vision is to move security leaders away from reactive, manual processes and toward a state of autonomous, data-backed defense that protects humans and AI agents,” said Bryan Palma, CEO at KnowBe4. “With more agents in the pipeline, we are committed to providing the industry’s most sophisticated, intelligent defense suite to help our customers stay ahead of an increasingly complex threat environment.”

Security leaders are turning to AIDA to bridge the gap between human error and technical defense.

“The ease of use and user-friendly interface makes everything seamless,” said Ha Phan, VP Information Security at Oak Valley Community Bank, via G2. “KnowBe4 is always adding more to the platform and the new AIDA has been awesome.”

As the threat landscape evolves, so does the AIDA ecosystem. KnowBe4 is actively developing additional agents designed to further strengthen workforce security, continuing the company’s trajectory as the primary innovator in human and AI agent risk management.
