Frame Security Launches KnowBetter as AI Reshapes Social Engineering8.7.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
AI Is Rewriting the Social Engineering Playbook. Security Awareness Training Hasn't Caught Up. Organizations must KnowBetter. NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / Security teams have spent two decades training employees to spot a familiar set of red flags: a suspicious link, a misspelled domain, an urgent request for a wire transfer. That approach is now colliding with an attacker toolkit that has changed faster than most awareness programs have. Generative AI has made it possible to clone a voice from a few seconds of audio, generate a passable deepfake video in minutes, and write a phishing email tailored to a specific employee's role, manager, and recent LinkedIn activity. Vishing calls, smishing texts, and video-based impersonation are now standard components of enterprise social engineering campaigns, not edge cases. "Most organizations are still training people to recognize threats from five years ago," said Tal Shlomo, co-founder and CEO of Frame Security, a huma
GoodData.AI Brings Governed Agentic Analytics to Regulated Enterprises Across DACH8.7.2026 13:05:00 CEST | Press release
GoodData.AI lets regulated enterprises in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland build and govern AI agents that support business processes, while maintaining full control over where AI runs and what data it can access. SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / GoodData.AI, an open agentic analytics platform with nearly two decades of analytics experience, today announced an expanded investment in the DACH region, bringing governed agentic analytics to regulated enterprises across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Many regulated enterprises have held off on production AI because outputs can't be traced back to approved business logic. GoodData.AI's platform addresses that directly: agents stay on a process over time, drafting and updating reports, analyses, and recommendations as new data comes in, while every output stays grounded in logic the company has already approved and can show an auditor on request. The EU AI Act has introduced some of the most comprehensive AI governan
