When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) and human risk management (HRM), not all AI is created equal.
You need an approach to AI that demonstrably enhances your security posture, integrates seamlessly with your existing processes and operates as an extension of your team. AI should be in service of a larger goal rather than exist for its own sake.
We’re talking benefits, not just features. An established history of innovation, not capabilities that are too little, too late.
KnowBe4 has been leading the way in AI for more than a decade, and we’re not slowing down.
The Emerging AI Threat
Since 2022, we've witnessed a staggering 1,265% increase in phishing attacks, largely driven by cybercriminals weaponizing AI technology. The KnowBe4 2025 Phishing Threat Trends Report reveals that 92% of polymorphic attacks now utilize AI to achieve unprecedented scale and effectiveness.
According to a report from LastPass, more than 95% of cybersecurity professionals believe AI-generated content makes phishing detection more challenging. This technological advancement in the hands of bad actors has created a new breed of highly convincing social engineering attacks that one-size-fits-all security awareness training struggles to combat.
In the cybersecurity arms race, KnowBe4's AI not only predicts and prevents threats but also turns your workforce into informed defenders of their digital domain. KnowBe4’s approach to HRM preemptively empower organizations to thwart cyber threats by cultivating a deeply rooted security culture.
