AI has made social engineering attacks dramatically easier to create and much harder to detect.

Israeli startup Frame Security has successfully secured $50 million in funding to enhance its cybersecurity offerings, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence.

The company is developing an innovative AI-driven platform designed to combat the rising threats posed by social engineering and deepfake attacks, which have become increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect.

Founded by Tal Shlomo and Sharon Shmueli, both of whom have backgrounds in Israel's elite cyber Unit 8200, Frame Security aims to create a new category of human risk security. This initiative focuses on empowering employees, who are often the most vulnerable link in cybersecurity, to act as the first line of defense against potential threats.

Shlomo emphasized the importance of employee decision-making in cybersecurity, noting that individuals make hundreds of decisions each day that can have significant implications for their organization's security. The funding will enable Frame Security to further develop its platform and address the growing need for effective defenses against AI-driven cyber threats.

As organizations increasingly rely on technology, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more critical, making Frame's mission particularly timely and relevant.
