Frame Security has publicly launched alongside a $50m funding round to address what it describes as the most exploited vulnerability in cybersecurity: people.
The round was led by Index Ventures, Team8, and Picture Capital, with notable participation from Wiz chief executive Assaf Rappaport and investor Elad Gil, who initially backed the company as an angel before following up through his fund, Gil Capital.
The investment comes amid a stark disconnect in enterprise security: while nearly 96% of organisations offer some form of security awareness training, around 90% of data breaches still involve a human element. The global market for security awareness training is forecast to reach $13bn by 2027. Compounding this challenge, generative AI is enabling increasingly convincing social engineering attacks, allowing bad actors to impersonate colleagues or executives across email, messaging platforms, phone calls, and video. According to Gartner, 43% of cybersecurity leaders reported at least one deepfake audio call incident in 2025, with 37% encountering deepfake video calls. Despite this, many security teams still rely on quarterly presentations and outdated phishing simulations that bear little resemblance to how modern attackers operate.
Frame’s platform takes an automated approach to security awareness and training. Powered by AI, it allows organisations to rapidly generate realistic attack simulations, role-based training tailored to specific job functions, and targeted employee guidance. When new attack types emerge, security teams can build and deploy relevant training within minutes.
The platform continuously analyses employee behaviour and organisational patterns to serve up timely guidance and simulations based on the threats employees are most likely to encounter, enabling organisations to strengthen their human layer of defence where incidents most frequently originate.
The company was co-founded by Tal Shlomo and Sharon Shmueli, both Unit 8200 veterans with extensive backgrounds in enterprise cybersecurity. Shlomo was among the earliest employees at Wiz — one of the most successful cybersecurity startups in history — before it was acquired by Google in a $32bn deal. Shmueli became CTO at Team8’s venture platform at just 25, helping build and evaluate next-generation cybersecurity businesses at the firm, which manages more than $2bn in assets.
Frame Security already counts tens of enterprise customers, including Louis Dreyfus Company, AlphaSense, and Rockefeller Capital Management. The freshly secured capital will be directed towards growing the company’s engineering, frontier cybersecurity research, AI development, and go-to-market functions, with plans to deepen adoption across enterprises in the US and internationally.
Frame Security co-founder and CEO Tal Shlomo said, “In a single day, employees make hundreds of decisions that carry potential cybersecurity implications. 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.”
