KnowBe4 Unveils Custom AI Video Builder

KnowBe4 has expanded its AI-powered security awareness training platform with the launch of Custom AI Video Builder, a new capability designed to help organisations rapidly create tailored cybersecurity training videos in response to emerging threats.

The feature, developed as part of KnowBe4’s strategic partnership with AI video platform Synthesia, enables security teams to generate custom training videos in minutes and deploy them directly into their security awareness programmes without leaving the KnowBe4 platform.

The launch comes as cybercriminals ramp up usage of generative AI to create highly targeted social engineering campaigns aimed at specific industries, job roles and regions. According to KnowBe4, organisations need to be able to update awareness training at a similar pace in order to keep employees prepared for evolving attack techniques.

Available through KnowBe4’s ModStore, the new feature includes a prepaid Synthesia Starter licence (worth $250 per year) allowing customers to create up to 120 minutes of AI-generated video annually. Users can choose from more than 120 AI avatars and produce content in over 160 languages and dialects.

The capability integrates directly with KnowBe4’s existing Content Creation Agent, allowing administrators to add studio-quality video to AI-generated text-based training. Alongside the recently launched Deepfake Training Content Agent, the new release forms part of the company’s broader AI-native content customisation suite.

β€œGenerative AI has given attackers the ability to build campaigns around the exact policies, roles and regions where training doesn’t yet exist,” said Greg Kras, Chief Product Officer, KnowBe4. β€œCustom AI Video Builder closes that window by putting studio-quality video production directly inside the KnowBe4 platform, so customers can go from a new threat to a finished training module without waiting on a production cycle. It’s one more way we’re helping security teams match the speed of the threats they’re defending against.”

Among the key features are automated publishing of completed videos into the ModStore’s Uploaded Content library, removing the need to manually download and upload SCORM packages, and AI-powered dubbing that enables organisations to localise training for employees around the world.

Custom AI Video Builder is available immediately to customers on KnowBe4’s Platinum, Diamond, Training-Only Diamond, SAT Foundation and SAT Advanced subscriptions.

The announcement follows further recognition for KnowBe4, after the company received an award in the email security category earlier this month.
