Frame Security Raises $50 Million to Fight AI Social Engineering as Deepfake Incidents Spread
15 articles · Updated · CTech · May 9
$50 million in fresh funding brought Israeli startup Frame Security out of stealth to build defenses against AI-powered phishing, impersonation and deepfake attacks.
Frame says generative AI has made social engineering cheaper to produce and harder to spot, even though nearly 90% of data breaches still involve human error.
Gartner data cited by the company shows 43% of cybersecurity leaders faced a deepfake audio incident in 2025, while 37% encountered deepfake video calls.
The platform uses AI to run role-specific attack simulations and training, and is already deployed at dozens of enterprises including Louis Dreyfus Company, AlphaSense and Rockefeller Capital Management.
Founded by former Wiz and Team8 executives, Frame plans to use the capital to expand engineering, cyber research and go-to-market teams in the US and abroad.
What does a $50M investment in AI-attack simulation reveal about the future of trust in digital communication?
As AI deepfakes become flawless, is trying to train the 'human firewall' a fundamentally flawed security strategy?
What prevents a tool that perfectly simulates AI attacks from becoming the next great weapon for cybercriminals?
Human Risk Is the New Cybersecurity Frontier: How Frame Security’s AI Defends Against Deepfakes and Social Engineering in a $10B Market (2026)
Overview
Frame Security launched in May 2026 to address the growing threat of AI-powered social engineering and deepfake attacks, which increasingly exploit the human element in cybersecurity. Despite nearly all organizations offering security awareness training, 90% of data breaches still involve human error, revealing a critical gap in current methods. Frame Security aims to bridge this gap by focusing on advanced, adaptive solutions that directly target evolving cybercriminal tactics. With the security awareness market projected to exceed $10 billion by 2027, Frame Security’s mission is to fortify organizational defenses and meet the rising demand for effective human-centric cybersecurity.
