What is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?
PhishER is a platform for managing the high volume of potentially malicious email messages reported by users. With automatic prioritization of emails, PhishER aims to help InfoSec and Security Operations team cut through the inbox noise and respond to the most dangerous threats more quickly.
PhishER is a web-based platform with critical worksteam functionality that serves as a phishing emergency room to identify and respond to user-reported messages. With PhishER, users are able to automate the workstream of 90% of reported emails that are not threats, freeing up incident response resources.
PhishER is available as a stand-alone product or as an optional add-on for KnowBe4 customers that want to automatically prioritize and manage potentially malicious messages that were reported through the KnowBe4 Phish Alert Button. PhishER Plus is an upgraded subscription level that includes all of the features from PhishER with additional enhancements and AI-validated crowdsourced data. PhishER Plus was developed to help supercharge an organization’s email security defenses. It does this by automatically blocking phishing attacks that traditional Security Email Gateways (SEGs) miss and removes these missed threats from users’ inboxes.

- Decrease in uncategorized emails
PhishER - Don't Phone Home Without It.
- The machine based learning does a great job of correctly identifying safe vs. malicious emails.
- PhishRIP does an excellent job of finding and quarantining similar emails from other users accounts.
- The reports give us a real time insight into trends and campaigns launched by bad actors.
- Somtimes the PAB (or Phish Hook) has to have its permissions revalidated. This is a quick fix, but takes some knowledge.
- I honestly can't think of any other shortcomings at this time.

KnowBe4 PhishER - Rapid and efficiency phishing response
With KnowBe4 PhishER, the process is now highly automated, and we can remove phishing emails from dozens of inboxes in just a few clicks.
Our users appreciate it because they receive much quicker feedback on clean emails.
IT appreciates it because it makes our job a breeze and lets us focus on the important elements of incident response.
Management appreciates it because it helps keep our institution safer and gives them excellent reporting metrics.
- Quick phishing email review
- Automated analysis and tagging
- Immediate quarantine and removal
- Quicker / more efficient PhishRIP
- Improved "Find Similar Messages" filtering options
- Improved notification options
A great help to skeleton crew IT departments!
- automated message header decoding
- remote removal/deletion of phishing mails from entire mail environment
- fast and easy false positive/clean identification
- easier customization of automation rules
- better end-user feedback to message submitter of submission status
Anything less than 10 users submitting messages to PhishER, and it's probably not worth the cost of the subscription in comparison to 1:1 communication.
If you have an email system that it doesn't tie well with, it'll be more difficult to get the really really nice integrations working in a way that truly saves time/effort/money.
Save your security team from burnout
The ROI is rapid and your security team will be able to focus on higher value tasks. It is worth the time to work with a KnowBe4 engineer to fine tune the policies for your environment.
Looking forward to seeing how KnowBe4 can integrate AI into this product for even more automation.
- Reduces the noise vs signal ratio
- Saves your team time
- Encourages users to report phishing emails
- Automates a task that your team hates doing
- Improve AI for greater filtering
- Better explanations of the policy settings and rules and how to tweak them for increased results
- Automated gamification/rewards for end users to encourage reporting actual phishing

If you have the PAB for users to report phishing, then you need PhishER.
KnowBe4 PhishER is the BEST product available

- Too many videos/training videos are released at once
- Inside Man has been going on tooooooooo long
Great product
- Removing malicious emails from users inbox

- One issue is when an email has large attachments, PhishER does not work correctly.
Great product for Phishing remediation
- Automation
- Email details
- Integration with other APIs
- Further customization of auto-actions would be beneficial
KnowBe4 PhishER makes phishing email remediation a breeze
- Email forensics
- Automated remediation
- Converting real phishing emails into test emails
- Navigation and UI can be a little clunky to use
- Better training on usage
PhishER provides a solid product
- Increases awareness by giving an option when a user is unsure.
- Prevents widespread hacks by removing an email from all affected users once it is reported.
- provides learning opportunities by cloning emails for simulation
- The quarantine function is lacking. Further integration with the existing 365 quarantine could really make a difference.
- The UI is a little bit feature heavy and clunky. There is a lack of clarity on how to properly set up certain things including remedial training on a failed simulation.
Great for streamlining phishing response.
- Machine learning evaluation
- Automation of response
- Setting custom thresholds
- Quarantining messages before end-users read them
- Search inboxes for similar messages
- Custom rules can be bothersome to create
- Inability to log directly into PhishER, must go through main console first
- PhishRIP can require too much information when searching for similar messages
Automated Email and Incident Response Solution!
- Provides high level reporting
- Integration with ticketing system such as Jira
- The flexibility of creating rules that align with various workflows
- Easy to use interface
- The number of action items could be expanded to include more functionality
- The option to schedule reports and send to various team members to eliminate the need to go into the console on a weekly or monthly basis
- Additional widgets to expand the dashboard functionality
This product also gives the team visibility on what is being reported and help determine if the email reported is localized or widespread throughout the organization. Meaning, depending on how many people report an email based on location and job roles.
This solution is well suited for an organization or team who would like to automate the guess work of determining if a email is a phish, spam, or safe. Additionally, have that one click response to the user who reported to get additional insight on if they did respond to the email or clicked on that was determined to be a real phishing email.
