There was overlap with the Coro which is a MDR solution however it did have it's own version Phish protection. What it lacks is the education component which is so important.

We were already using KnowBe4 for Security Awareness Training and its deep integration with the KnowBe4 suite of products made it the best choice and also very affordable compared to other solutions.
Chose KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus
I don't think I've used anything like this. It's not really a sandbox or even like a MIMEcast. It's somewhat distinct in its relationship to the PAB and how that works. Notifications, alerting, and blocking are similar to features that even Microsoft can offer. But the price …

If you wanna teach people about pishing and ciber security, how to manage your email safely so nobody sells your info.

PhishER comes with some good features, such as PhishML, PhishRIP, PhishFlip, etc. These features help us manage phishing email reporting incidents. From reporting emails via Phish Alert Button plug-in to collecting all reported emails in one place at the PhishER dashboard. Now, the PhishML comes into play, scanning all reported emails and tagging each as clean, spam, or threat. With the help of this machine learning-based algorithm, our investigation process becomes easier. Other features, such as PhishRip, help to search and quarantine phishing emails, and PhishFlip converts a real phishing campaign to a test phishing campaign.

  • Well structured KMSAT, PAB is a great addition.
  • Good Training Library, ability to customize templates
  • Phish/ER opens a windows to types & volume of suspect emails and allows admins to act upon.
  • "Rooms" in Phish/ER, to me, is considered my entry point to start my admin duties.

Cons

  • Issues with Global Blocklist
  • Email Template Modification - Simplification
  • Target Specific Users vs. Groups
  • PhishRIP info tabs (i.e. if improperly check ripped emails are turned into tests. This has caused issues.) Info tabs or markers allow user to hover and get more information about what action a check box or slider provides.

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.

I think that the system is well designed and makes it easy to fine phishing emails that have been reported. It also has a simple user interface that allows you to review and address threat emails also providing an automated component that allows for automated threat mitigation and customized feedback responses to users

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • 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.
