Technological advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are only making the ongoing problem of social engineering worse.
Over 95% of cybersecurity professionals believe AI-generated content makes phishing detection more challenging. This new AI frontier has inspired bad actors to create highly convincing social engineering attacks that one-size-fits-all security awareness training struggles to combat.
As a result, security admins are overwhelmed, users are disengaged, and organizations struggle to see tangible results from their training efforts.
AIDA: Your Security Culture Game-Changer
It’s time to fight AI with AI. Meet KnowBe4 AIDA — Artificial Intelligence Defense Agents. AIDA is a suite of AI-powered agents that up-levels your approach to human risk management (HRM) by leveraging multiple AI technologies to create personalized, adaptive and highly effective user training that actually changes behavior.
Unlike old-school SAT products, AIDA continuously learns and adapts to your organization’s unique needs, ensuring maximum impact and ROI for your security awareness efforts. By reducing the time it takes your admins to create training content from an average of seven days to mere seconds, AIDA frees up your security team’s time dramatically.
How AIDA Works
Underpinning the entire suite of agents is the SmartRisk Agent™. SmartRisk Agent leverages end user behavioral data from across KnowBe4’s products to help measure cyber risk in humans.
SmartRisk Agent’s multidimensional Risk Scores are designed to make it easier for you to see potential problems at the user, group and organizational levels. You’ll get more comprehensive insights the more KnowBe4 products you use.
AIDA is launching with four feature-rich agents (with more to come):
- Automated Training Agent: Uses AI with 316 indicators influencing 37 factors across 7 knowledge areas to analyze your users’ learning history, job role, risk score, behavior patterns and even languages so AIDA can automatically assign the most relevant and engaging content. This ensures that every one of your users, regardless of position or location, receives training tailored to their specific needs and learning style. This feature helps maximize retention and real-world application of your security best practices.
- Template Generation Agent: Leveraging generative AI, AIDA creates highly realistic phishing templates that can mirror current attack vectors. Social Engineering Indicators, or red flags, are based upon the NIST Phish Scale Framework.
- Knowledge Refresher Agent: AIDA delivers bite-sized Knowledge refreshers at optimal intervals, ensuring your users actually apply critical security concepts.
- Policy Quiz Agent: AIDA generates intelligent quizzes based on your organization’s specific security and compliance policies. This ensures your users not only acknowledge, but truly understand the guidelines they’re expected to follow
The Future of AIDA
These four agents are just the beginning. Future additions include:
- Orchestration Agent: This AI-powered agent will take on the role of a SAT administrator, managing phishing simulations, delivery, and reporting.
- Goal Driven Agent: This agent will optimize targeting, attack vectors, and training frequency to achieve the lowest possible human risk for your organization.
- Adaptive Defense Agent: By considering work schedules and current threats, this agent will schedule training at the least disruptive times and adapt content to address emerging risks.
- SAT Assessment Agent: This agent will create custom Security Awareness Training assessments based on your organization’s specific policies and procedures.
