Frame Security, an AI-powered human risk security company focused on protecting organisations from social engineering and deepfake attacks, has officially emerged from stealth with the announcement of a $50m funding round.
The investment was led by Index Ventures, Team8, and Picture Capital, with additional backing from Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport and technology investor Elad Gil. Gil first supported the company as an angel investor before increasing his commitment through Gil Capital.
The funding comes amid growing concerns over employee exposure to increasingly advanced cyber threats. While nearly 96% of organisations have implemented some form of security awareness training, human behaviour continues to play a role in around 90% of data breaches. Frame argues that traditional training approaches have struggled to effectively address this challenge. Industry forecasts estimate the global security awareness training market will reach $13bn by 2027.
At the same time, advances in generative AI are making cyberattacks more convincing. Attackers can now impersonate colleagues and executives across email, messaging apps, phone calls, and video conferences with alarming realism. According to Gartner data referenced by Frame, 43% of cybersecurity leaders reported experiencing at least one deepfake audio attack in 2025, while 37% encountered deepfake video incidents. These attacks are designed to manipulate employees into transferring funds, disclosing credentials, or granting access to critical systems.
Frame was founded by Tal Shlomo and Sharon Shmueli, both alumni of Israel’s elite cyber intelligence Unit 8200. Shlomo joined cloud security company Wiz during its early stages, contributing to the growth of one of the cybersecurity industry’s most successful startups before its eventual $32bn acquisition by Google. Meanwhile, Shmueli previously served as CTO at Team8’s venture platform at just 25 years old, helping assess and develop emerging cybersecurity ventures at the firm, which oversees more than $2bn in assets.
The company’s platform automates security awareness and training processes using AI. Organisations can create realistic attack simulations, provide role-based employee training, and distribute targeted guidance throughout their workforce. The system also enables security teams to rapidly design and deploy training materials in response to newly emerging threats.
By continuously analysing employee behaviour and organisational trends, Frame delivers personalised and context-aware simulations that move beyond traditional one-size-fits-all training programmes. The company has already secured tens of enterprise customers, including Louis Dreyfus Company, AlphaSense, and Rockefeller Capital Management.
Frame plans to use the newly raised capital to expand its engineering, AI research, and go-to-market operations as it accelerates enterprise growth across the United States and international markets.
