Frame Security Exits Stealth With $50M To Defend Humans From AI Phishing

Frame Security launched from stealth with $50M from Index Ventures, Team8 and Picture Capital to defend enterprises against AI-driven phishing and deepfake attacks.

Frame Security Exits Stealth With $50M To Defend Humans From AI Phishing

Frame Security, an Israeli-American startup building an AI-powered human-risk platform, has emerged from stealth with $50 million in funding and a customer roster that already includes Louis Dreyfus Company, AlphaSense and Rockefeller Capital Management.

The round was led by Index Ventures alongside Team8 and Picture Capital, with participation from technology investor Elad Gil, Cerca Partners and Tesonet. Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport also wrote a check personally. Index partner Shardul Shah, Team8 co-founder Liran Grinberg and Picture Capital partner Dan Amiga join the Frame board.

The deepfake problem, quantified

Frame is positioning around "human risk security" — defending employees against AI-generated phishing, voice and video deepfakes that bypass technical controls. Gartner data cited by the company shows that 43% of security leaders reported at least one deepfake-audio incident in 2025, while 37% encountered deepfake video calls. And despite roughly 96% of organizations running some form of awareness training, the human element is still implicated in around 90% of breaches.

"Attackers today can clone your CEO's voice in seconds," CEO Tal Shlomo wrote in the launch post. "They can generate perfectly tailored spear-phishing emails built from scraped personal data. They can run thousands of simultaneous social-engineering campaigns across email, Slack, SMS, phone and video — all that at near-zero cost."

What Frame actually does

Frame consolidates four product modules into a single platform: AI-personalised training, AI-powered phishing and deepfake simulations, continuous human risk scoring, and AI-assisted phishing triage for SOC analysts. The simulation engine generates voice, video and email attacks tailored to each employee's role, tools and communication patterns, and delivers light, positive training the moment someone falls for one.

The platform integrates into existing enterprise stacks — Microsoft, Slack, Google, identity providers — to pull telemetry that informs both the simulations and the risk model. The result is a "human risk graph" that lets security leaders see who their most exposed employees are and act before an incident.

The founders — CEO Tal Shlomo and CTO Sharon Shmueli — are both Israeli Unit 8200 cyber-intelligence veterans, and Shlomo joined Wiz as one of its first employees during the cloud-security darling's rocket-ride to a Google acquisition. The investor lineup, the founder pedigree and the fast enterprise traction collectively echo Wiz's early playbook.

Frame lands in a hot category. Tenex.AI raised $250 million in Q1, while Sola Security pulled $35 million for a no-code security-automation platform. CrowdStrike's $740 million purchase of identity-access startup SGNL also underlined how strategic identity-and-human-risk has become — themes also visible in Coralogix's $200M Series F for AI-agent observability and Cortechs.ai's Microsoft integration for clinical AI.

Where it goes next

Frame says it will use the capital to expand engineering, deepen its AI and cybersecurity research, and accelerate go-to-market in the United States and beyond. The bet: as agentic AI gives attackers near-unlimited fluency, the only durable defence is a security layer that updates as fast as the threats do.
