Abnormal Security blocks malicious emails that both PhishER and Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense miss. One thing that PhishER does have is the ability to flip a malicious message into a user education phishing email. That's cool, but I think we can just copy/paste the same …

I must say CheckPoint and IRONSCALES are both great platforms for MSPs. They both offer competitive pricing and multi-tenant support. KnowBe4 has the best track record though and offers a stable, consistent experience. Reliability is why KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus is the best.

KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus fills a lot of gaps that are present in microsofts built in anti-phishing tools even once you have upgraded your licensing in microsoft. Abnormal is an entirely different beast compare to KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus. It is an enterprise grade …

Abnormal is on an entirely nother level both in cost and functionality. Costs is 25x but is borderline magic. Barracuda was finicky and cost more. Defender for email we already had but falls short in a lot of areas, especially with the reporting piece.

PhishER in our organisation works as a second line of defense along side VIPRE and Microsoft Exchange Security. We use all 3 systems together to ensure emails are blocked or identified as spam or threats. VIPRE blocks emails before they reach the user, PhishER allows the user …

You pretty much need the KnowBe4 Security Awareness package for PhishER to be useful. Hands down the Security Awareness package and where it has moved up with Training and testing users is fantastic. PhishER is a great additional tool for the Admin to help to manage the …

Another local organization was compromised, and we were one of the targets of their further attempts. We were 100% protected because the behavioral analysis protected us, but also allowed me to contact that organization and report their compromise. This has actually happened more than one time since going live.

From an MSP perspective, it’s easier to sell products that provide cybersecurity protections if it’s all in one bundle. If you start providing 5 different email security products (even with the same vendor), it becomes confusing to non-technical individuals. They need a single package that doesn’t break the bank. Other products like Ironscales do that by providing an “all-in-one” package, essentially. And for a much less expensive price. I believe if you included all the features of anti-phishing, account takeover protection, and security awareness training, it would be close to $8/person each month. Competitors offer rates closer to $2/user, which include all those features and sometimes more.

Spam filtering...we have been able to turn our spam sensitivity down on Exchange allowing more legitimate messages through to user inboxes.
Malicious email filtering...we experienced several successful phishing attacks over the past year. Abnormal Security has prevented hundreds of individual campaigns since going live in August '22. I cannot thank them enough!
Automated response for reported emails...my team is small and we do not have enough hours in a day to review and respond to each reported email. Abnormal Security performs additional analysis on those reports and automatically responds for us. If the message is spam or malicious, copies of those emails are looked for throughout the server and deleted.

KnowBe4's Phish Alert Button effectively collects all reported emails from end-users in one place.
The PhishML feature of PhishER effectively auto-scan reported emails using machine learning technologies, providing a tag for each email based on its body content and other aspects.
The PhishRIP feature works well by allowing the security team to create a query and quarantine all relevant emails from the end user's email system.

When we first discovered that KnowBe4 released something like this, we saw a demo of it and were floored at what it could do and how it could help us from a security standpoint. Gone are the days of us in IT sending out a mass email saying please don't click on anything in the email from sender "X", and it allows us to quietly and easily ensure that people don't take any action on malicious emails.

It has been super easy for users to work with training and quizzes. Admin is a little difficult because you have to build the specific campaign type you want. But you can even create your own training and upload it to your LMS. This is great!!

When I have a question, their were fast to respond. The downside is a that at least once I had to work through the issue with the person assigned to help me because they didn't know the answer. That said they did try and were patient. However they should have known the answer on integration.

There has been a 700% increase in emails being reported now. Previously, staff were only reporting 4 emails a month. It is easier for us to promote the phish alert button, receive automated remediation and rapidly respond.
We had no reports on the amount of phishing emails were coming through Mimecast but now we have reports for the board of trustees.
Every Wednesday we talk about cyber security to all staff, PhishER allows us to point out the trend and what to look out for which raises awareness. Never before were we able to talk about cyber security like this.
