KnowBe4 announced that its AI-native platform, Artificial Intelligence Defense Agents, AIDA, enables long term culture change and human risk reduction. With the increasing threat of cybercriminals leveraging AI, KnowBe4 is committed to utilizing AI to enhance security measures and protect employees against social engineering. Unveiled and demonstrated at KnowBe4's KB4-CON, AIDA represents a significant step forward in safeguarding users against the malicious use of AI by cybercriminals.

AIDA enables organizations to automate the dynamic selection of security awareness training and testing to give users a more individualized learning experience based on their specific needs.

The company has been utilizing AI-enabled tools extensively, examining AI from both an attacker's and a defender's perspective. Rigorous testing, research, and simulations have been conducted to understand how AI can be employed to enhance social engineering attacks, as well as to develop strategies to counter AI-enabled attacks.
