KnowBe4 has announced the launch of AIDA Orchestration, the eighth AI-powered agent in KnowBe4’s suite of AI agents for human risk management known as AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Defense Agents).

The AIDA Orchestration agent is an autonomous, AI-powered system for human risk management. It independently creates, schedules and manages personalized phishing security tests (PSTs) and security awareness training (SAT) at a user level that dynamically adapts to each person’s risk profile. This eliminates manual campaigns, reduces administrative burden and efficiently lowers organizational risk.

By reducing the time required to create personalized training from hours to seconds, the Orchestration agent frees security teams to focus on strategic initiatives while ensuring every individual receives the right training at the right time to reduce organizational risk.

The agent brings the following to organizations:

  • Individual-Focused Personalization: Departing from group-wide campaigns, the agent delivers unique phishing tests and training experiences based on real-time user performance.
  • Always-On Operations: The system continuously monitors evolving threat landscapes and user engagement, dynamically adjusting strategies without human intervention.
  • Intelligent Ecosystem Integration: AIDA Orchestration leverages the full suite of AIDA agents, including Template Generation and Remedial Training, to create a cohesive, data-driven security culture.
  • Plan-Based Oversight: While the agent handles tactical execution, administrators maintain strategic control through “Plans,” which define high-level constraints and guardrails for specific user groups.

 

This year marks ten years of the beta version of AIDA. With eight specialized agents available in-market, KnowBe4’s position of training humans and agents is reinforced as the only agentic human risk management provider in the industry.

According to the KnowBe4 State of Human Risk Report 2025, cybersecurity leaders rank AI-powered threats as their top security risk, with 45% citing constantly evolving AI threats as their greatest challenge. AI enables adversaries to remove traditional indications of an attack, generate realistic language at scale and craft messages tailored to specific roles, industries and even individuals.

“The launch of AIDA Orchestration represents a fundamental shift in how organizations approach human risk,” said Bryan Palma, CEO at KnowBe4. “By moving from static, one-size-fits-all campaigns to an always-on, autonomous system, we are enabling security teams to deliver the right training at the right time. This saves hours of administrative work and it reduces organizational risk by treating every employee as an individual with unique security needs.”
