KnowBe4 is proud to announce its participation at the ITWeb Security Summit 2026. The company will be showcasing AIDA Orchestration, demonstrating how African enterprises can leverage the first fully autonomous AI agent to transform human risk management from hours of administration into seconds.
As AI enables adversaries to remove traditional indications of an attack and craft highly tailored messages, cyber security leaders now rank AI-powered threats as their top security risk. At the ITWeb Security Summit 2026, KnowBe4 will highlight how AIDA Orchestration addresses these evolving threats by moving from static, group-wide campaigns to an always-on, autonomous system.
ITWEB SECURITY SUMMIT 2026
Now in its 21st year, ITWeb Security Summit is Africa’s premier cyber security event.
Under the theme: “Redefining security in the face of AI-driven attacks, fragile supply chains and a global skills gap”, the 2026 summit will take place in Cape Town (25-26 May) and in Johannesburg (2-4 June).

The AIDA Orchestration agent is an autonomous, AI-powered system that independently creates, schedules and manages personalised phishing security tests (PSTs) and security awareness training (SAT). By dynamically adapting to each person’s unique risk profile, it eliminates manual campaigns and significantly reduces administrative burden.
“AIDA Orchestration fundamentally redefines how organisations manage human risk," says Javvad Malik, lead CISO advisor at KnowBe4. "This move to an always-on, autonomous system allows security teams to provide tailored training precisely when it matters most. It eliminates manual campaigns, significantly lowers organisational risk and ensures every employee is treated as an individual with unique security requirements.”
KnowBe4 will be available at ITWeb Security Summit Cape Town and Johannesburg to demonstrate:
- Individual-focused personalisation: How the agent delivers unique phishing tests and training experiences based on real-time user performance.
- Always-on operations: How the system continuously monitors evolving threat landscapes and user engagement, adjusting strategies without human intervention.
- Intelligent ecosystem integration: How AIDA Orchestration leverages a full suite of AI agents to create a cohesive, data-driven security culture.
- Plan-based oversight: How administrators maintain strategic control through "plans" that define high-level constraints and guardrails while the agent handles tactical execution.
An anonymous customer who has already been using KnowBe4’s AIDA Orchestration highly recommends the agent, saying: "AIDA Orchestration is a game-changer and time saver!"
