KnowBe4 & Synthesia launch AI training video partnership
KnowBe4 and Synthesia have partnered to let organisations create cybersecurity training videos with AI avatars through the KnowBe4 platform. The agreement connects video creation with security awareness training for corporate users.
Customers will be able to produce tailored training videos in minutes and distribute them directly through KnowBe4. Security teams can update scripts quickly, publish revised content as policies or threats change, and localise material for international workforces.
According to the companies, Synthesia's translation tools can render content in more than 130 languages. That gives employers a way to adapt internal training for staff in different regions without filming separate live-action versions for each market.
The deal comes ahead of an update to the KnowBe4 ModStore. The content library will be redesigned with AI search tools intended to help organisations find training material more quickly.
Cybersecurity awareness training has become a routine requirement for many large employers as phishing, social engineering and internal compliance risks evolve. Companies often need to tailor that material to their own policies and systems, but bespoke video production can be slow and expensive when it depends on filming, editing and repeated revisions.
By linking Synthesia's AI-generated presenters with KnowBe4's delivery platform, the partnership aims to remove some of that production work. Users can create videos with digital avatars instead of camera crews or studios, while still delivering the finished material through existing training programmes.
Enterprise focus
KnowBe4 says its customer base includes more than 70,000 organisations worldwide. Synthesia says its platform is used by more than 90% of the Fortune 100, underscoring the focus on large enterprises and multinational employers.
Greg Kras, Chief Product Officer at KnowBe4, said the partnership is intended to make training more tailored and easier to produce at scale.
"Our partnership with Synthesia represents a significant leap forward in making security awareness training more personalised, higher-quality and accessible," said Greg Kras, Chief Product Officer, KnowBe4. "What truly sets Synthesia apart is its best-in-class technology and its rigorous commitment to responsible AI. By combining its ethical AI video credentials with KnowBe4's proven human risk management platform, we are empowering organisations to deliver personalised, high-quality content that resonates with employees, while maintaining the highest standards of digital integrity."
Speed appeal
The companies are positioning the product around speed of revision as well as localisation. That is likely to appeal to organisations that need to amend internal guidance quickly in response to emerging scams, regulatory changes or updated security procedures.
Synthesia said the partnership gives security teams a way to produce training without choosing between turnaround time and polished presentation. The company has built its business around AI-generated corporate communications and training videos, with a customer list concentrated among large organisations.
"Security training is most effective when it feels personal and relevant to the learner," said Ken Lawshe, Chief Revenue Officer, Synthesia. "By bringing together Synthesia's leading AI video technology with the KnowBe4 platform, we're giving security teams the ability to create studio-quality training in minutes, localise it instantly, and update it the moment a new threat emerges. For the first time, organisations don't have to choose between speed and quality."
KnowBe4 customers are also eligible for a complimentary Synthesia Starter Plan, allowing them to test the video creation tools within the broader security training environment.
