Israeli startup Frame Security has emerged from stealth with $50 million in funding led by Index Ventures. The company addresses the growing threat of AI-powered social engineering attacks targeting organizations.

Frame Security focuses on modernizing security awareness training as artificial intelligence makes cyberattacks more convincing and scalable. The funding round included participation from multiple investors backing the Tel Aviv-based firm. The startup targets a critical gap in enterprise security. Traditional social engineering attacks relied on human effort; AI amplifies their reach and effectiveness. Frame Security's platform helps organizations defend employees against increasingly sophisticated phishing and manipulation tactics powered by generative AI. The $50 million raise reflects growing investor interest in AI security solutions. As organizations struggle to protect against both conventional and AI-driven threats, demand for specialized defenses continues rising. Frame Security joins a expanding market of cybersecurity firms addressing AI-related risks. The company plans to use the funding to expand its team and accelerate product development for enterprise customers.
