BlackBerry Optics (CylanceOPTICS) vs. KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus

You can set rules based on specific scenarios to run on machines. For example, you can use this to enable or disable machine learning to block or allow things that users regularly use. You can also log specific attacks on machines (for research later).

I have been able to create customized simulated phishing campaigns that are really testing our users ability to "spot the fake." That coupled with the training campaigns that are included make it much more likely that our users will be better prepared to protect our organization by being able to recognize common industry threats, and brings awareness to less common threats that are out there. I love that they have a shared folder full of relevant, recent real-world scams that we can choose from to train our user base.

• Enhancing the automated response capabilities, such as directly initiating remediation processes or integrating with other cybersecurity tools, could further streamline the threat management process.
• Implementing a feedback system where users can be informed about the outcome of their reported emails might encourage more proactive engagement.
• the reporting tool is not as streamlined on mobile devices as it is on desktops. Enhancing mobile functionality would be beneficial

Phish ER has reduced the time my team and I spend on reported emails by over 80%. With the volume of emails reported and a small team this is a must have.

The configuration is a bit complicated, but easy once you get the hang of it. Once configured, it is easy to manage our malicious emails that are reported by our staff.

I haven’t seen that there is much support for it. It seems like a lot of trial and error is/will be involved.

Support has been easy to get along with and easy to understand.

Work with support or rep for some basic steps, the rest is pretty straight foward.

We use Cylance in conjunction with two other products. We have ArcticWolf for monitoring the machines at an even finer detail than Cylance (they can pick up things that can be missed). We also use Cisco Umbrella to block potentially malicious DNS queries. The combination of these three products helps us feel much more secure than if we had just one.

KnowBe4 PhishER has a lot of features that other companied does not have. Its AI capability, integration with VirusTotal, PhishRIP and PhishFlip features make it totally different from other solutions. Its Phish Alert Button directly installed on users Outlook without affecting them and the reporting technique is very simple, just clicking on the Phish Alert Button and the email will be directly reported to the KnowBe4 PhishER dashboard. KnowBe4 PhishER dashboard is a very good example of centralized dashboard where you can find all things related to that reported email.

Incentivized

• Addresses known gaps easily.
• Quick to implement.

Incentivized

• It has greatly increased phishing / security awareness by our staff by having a designated button & process for reporting phishing emails
• It provides greater protection through the ability to delete emails from multiple recipients even if not all of them reported the email
• It saves time for me to have to evaluate whether or not an email reported is a real threat through the ML/AI/VirusTotal scores
