Humanix introduced its solution to address social engineering threats, which have become the top attack vector for enterprises. The company employed conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) trained on human psychology to detect these attacks in real time across voice, chat, and email, enabling security teams to respond effectively.

Enterprises reportedly face substantial financial losses due to social engineering, as attackers exploit the human element of organizations. Conventional industry responses, often relying on training and victim-blaming, have been deemed inadequate. Humanix sought to change this approach by shifting the focus onto technology designed to safeguard individuals against manipulation and deceit.

During initial discussions, a CISO shared an audio recording of a social engineering incident that resulted in a significant financial loss for a major hospitality firm. This incident highlighted the challenges inherent in identifying such threats during interpersonal communications. Humanix aims to utilize linguistic analysis to recognize patterns indicative of manipulation, creating a mechanism for timely alerts to security teams, allowing them to act before damage occurs.

The firm noted that social engineering should be treated as a distinct attack class, comparable to technical exploits. To facilitate this, Humanix raised $18 million to enhance its platform. This funding round involved several cybersecurity experts and investment firms, indicating a collaborative effort to reinforce defenses against these evolving threats.
