Frame Security announced its public launch today alongside a $50 million funding round led by Index Ventures, Team8 and Picture Capital, with participation from Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport and technology investor Elad Gil, who first backed the company as an angel investor and has since doubled down through his fund, Gil Capital.
The company is building a new category of human risk security, designed to protect organizations against one of cybersecurity’s largest and most persistent attack vectors: people.
Nearly 96% of organizations provide some form of security awareness training, yet roughly 90% of data breaches still involve the human element. Organizations are pouring money into employee security programs, with the global security awareness training market projected to reach $13 billion by 2027. But the rise of generative AI is making social engineering attacks more convincing, more personalized and far easier to scale.
Attackers can now craft tailored messages, impersonate colleagues or executives, and target employees across email, messaging platforms, phone calls and video meetings. According to Gartner, 43% of cybersecurity leaders reported experiencing at least one deepfake audio call incident in 2025, while 37% encountered deepfake video calls. These attacks are designed to trick employees into sharing sensitive information, approving payments or granting access to critical systems.
The risk is compounded by the fact that employees make hundreds of operational decisions every day that can carry security implications. Yet many security teams still rely on quarterly presentations and outdated phishing simulations that fail to reflect how people actually work, or how hackers actually attack.
Frame’s platform aims to change that by automating the security awareness and training process. Using AI, it enables companies to quickly generate realistic attack simulations, hyper-personalized role-based training and tailored guidance for employees across the organization.
When new types of attacks emerge, security teams can create and deploy relevant training within minutes, helping employees recognize and stop threats before they turn into real incidents. By continuously analyzing employee behavior and organizational patterns, Frame can provide guidance and simulations in context, helping employees respond to the threats they are most likely to face.
The result, according to the company, is a shift away from static awareness programs toward a dynamic human layer of defense.
“In a single day, employees make hundreds of decisions that carry potential cybersecurity implications,” said Tal Shlomo, Co-Founder and CEO of Frame Security. “AI has made social engineering attacks dramatically easier to create and much harder to detect. In my experience working with leading security teams in Fortune 500 organizations at Wiz, even the most advanced cybersecurity systems couldn’t eliminate the risk introduced by human behavior. After seeing many human-centric attacks, we built Frame with the ambition to empower the workforce to become the strongest line of defense against AI driven attacks. Our AI engine serves as a dynamic system that evolves with the organization and prepares employees for the real threats they face.”
Frame Security was founded by cybersecurity entrepreneurs Tal Shlomo and Sharon Shmueli, both alumni of Israel’s elite cyber Unit 8200. Shlomo joined Wiz as one of its first employees, working at the company during its early growth phase before it became one of the most successful cybersecurity startups in history, culminating in its $32 billion acquisition by Google. Shmueli previously served as CTO at Team8’s venture platform at just 25, where he helped evaluate and build next-generation cybersecurity companies at one of the industry’s leading venture firms, which manages more than $2 billion in assets.
“Human risk is one of the hardest problems to solve in cybersecurity because you can’t simply write code to solve it,” said Shardul Shah, Partner at Index Ventures. “As AI makes social engineering attacks more sophisticated and scalable, organizations need new ways to protect the human layer of security. Frame is building a platform that helps companies address this challenge in a practical, personalized and scalable way.”
“What makes Frame compelling is that it gives organizations a practical way to prepare their employees for these attacks and turn the human layer into a meaningful part of their security posture,” said Elad Gil, a technology investor and backer of Frame.
Frame Security is already deployed across tens of enterprise organizations, including Louis Dreyfus Company, AlphaSense and Rockefeller Capital Management. With the new funding, the company plans to expand its engineering, frontier cybersecurity and AI research, and go-to-market teams, while accelerating adoption of its platform across enterprises in the United States and globally.
