More about this role

AI-driven threats and human error are today’s biggest enterprise security risks. Cybercriminals don’t hack systems—they exploit people. Human errors drive 90% of security breaches , making human behavior the primary and growing attack surface . ( ex 1 , ex 2 , ex 3 )

Fable is a security platform that mitigates human risks to the business. We built the first AI-native Human Behavior Platform to eliminate human risk wherever employees work. By leveraging GenAI and behavioral systems , we automatically detect at-risk employees, deliver personalized interventions at critical moments, and remove tangible risks to the business - at scale.

Backed by Greylock Partners and founded by early Abnormal Security team members, Fable has assembled a world-class team to solve this problem.
