KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Reviews

KnowBe4 training has completely changed the way our company handles Cyber Security training. We use it across the entire organization and utilize both their training, as well as their mock phishing campaigns. Over the course of the first year of use, we have already seen marked improvement of almost all personnel when it comes to Cyber Security and phishing knowledge. We look forward to using the system more and more as we progress.

Before we had KnowBe4, we were largely on our own for a cybersecurity training program. We had access to limited resources. KnowBe4's system has completely changed the way we train and has given us tremendous confidence in ourselves and our user's abilities. Our company as a whole is more secure and knowledgeable.

We are using KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training for all staff school email addresses plus secondary students with a school email account. This is to provide training and guidance for our staff and secondary students as well as regular testing to measure our risk, which is reported to the school board monthly.

Well, there was a dramatic spike in 'clicks' when the new material was introduced, but once we had looked at the material we could explain to the Board why the risk spiked at that time. So there has been a benefit from more challenging testing, but we have not utilized the new training courses to strengthen the 'love' of the product and process.

Our lack of change to implement effective use of the new training resources nearly had the program canceled as staff had complained to the principal about 'click' based training assignments during the working from home period. So again some support and guidance can help to ensure its continued adoption.

We use KnowBe4 to train all of our employees in our organization in cybersecurity awareness. We train our employees so that they will not fall victim to Phishing and other cyber attacks. The majority of cyber attacks on our organization start with email phishing attacks. We can't eliminate the phishing attack threat but we can train our employees to defend themselves and our organization from phishing attacks.

End users expect to see something different every year. If they simply receive a link to the same content as the previous year they are unlikely to actually learn anything new. KnowBe4 keeps content fresh, as it is often relevant to the most recent cybersecurity attacks that are making headline news.

This product is used as the main cyber-security awareness training for all staff. In the past, we had many folks that would click any email and any link. We used the phishing testing part of the KnowBe4 platform to do a blind test before training, the results were not good, as many staff clicked the spam without any thought. After taking the training, we used phishing testing to see if it was effective. We had a dramatic drop in "clickers." Educating the end-user should be a central part of any cyber security plan. Knowbe4 training was perfect for our needs.

The updated training we can offer to our end-user that is branded with the current year doesn't seem stale or out of date. The updated content adjusts for the changing state of IT, for example, the Corona Virus Security Training. Overall, I feel it gives the end-user security that they are not learning something out of date or wasting their time.

KnowBe4 is being used for simulated phishing campaigns across the entire institution. It is also being used for voluntary security awareness training to supplement other information security awareness activities. The phishing campaigns are a critical augmentation to our structured training.

Because we have not instituted mandatory training using KnowBe4 I am unable to answer this question due to lack of knowledge/experience with the full training library.

We use KnowBe4 as our primary social engineering & "phishing" testing and training tool. It has provided us a great way to understand our users and focus specific user training on the individuals that most need it. It has allowed us to be far better prepared in regards to the weakest link in the IT security chain - the end user. The product has been so effective that we increased testing to cover our entire organization and covering all our users several times a year. The tool is very easy to brand as well as personalize targeting.
We used other products before t=we tried KnowBe4 - but we wont be changing anytime soon - GREAT PRODUCT!

This IS our primary tool for security training and testing.

KnowBe4 is used as our information security training platform. We utilize it for annual training and phishing awareness training. It is used across our entire organization.

We will enter our second year of KnowBe4 training being our annual Information security training platform. I know that I will be able to provide some fresh training options besides just a copy of the old one. I think that will be great! It also allows customization of Phishing campaigns which can be helpful during various seasons.

The InfoSec team uses KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training to meet compliance requirements (PCI-DSS and ISO 27001), as well as to educate our employees on sound security practices. The goal is to ensure they are able to identify and defend themselves and incorporate resources against cyber attacks as we consider our employees our first and last line of defense against intrusions.

It has reduced the impact on my InfoSec team; they can now spend less time and effort in preparing and managing end-user awareness training and focus on other information security objectives. Additionally, there is more user engagement as the content provided by KnowBe4 is relevant, current, professionally done, and interesting.

We use our KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training across our entire district to educate our staff on what current techniques are being used by phishing/spam email actors. All staff complete a security awareness education campaign at the beginning of the school year while we continue to send test spam emails multiple times throughout the months of the school year. We also have our service setup to show users who fail a monthly test email simulation what to look for using the email that they were sent.

It has kept our users engaged so they aren't sitting through the same training material year in year out. The constant updating and changes are great to keep us on our toes.

We are currently using KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training across our entire organization. This product solves the issue of how do we prevent the most common form of compromises, those that come from email messages. By using KnowBe4, we are able to train our end-users on how to spot suspicious, malicious, and phishing emails, as well as to report those emails to IT Security so we can begin the process of triaging and blocking these messages from doing any damage within our environment

The content is updated at least annually for training, and the simulated phishing exercises are updated weekly. Since security is a space that changes so quickly, it is nice to know that KnowBe4 does not rest on their laurels, but instead always improves itself and its content.

We are using KnowBe4 to test all of our employees and educate them. As IT and Security personnel, we are responsible for our cybersecurity. We implement and involve the whole company and all branches. The IT department is responsible for sending all emails such as test phishing emails and spoof campaigns. We get the results and create a class for clickers.

I believe it really matters that you have access to fresh training. Every day we face a new security issue; hackers and bad guys try to improve their ways every day. The good thing about KnowBe4 is the updated email campaigns. For example, last year, there was a breach on Equifax, and two days later, I found a related phishing campaign on the KnowBe4 portal that I happily used it.

We use KnowBe4 across the enterprise to level-set our IT security knowledge and arm our employees with the knowledge that they need to defend themselves against the creativity of bad actors that are trying to gain access to our assets.

We thought this was a great feature, not sure how this was realized through our engagement, however, it was great to see fresh content added regularly.

We use the Security Awareness Training to provide the basis for our new employee intake security training as well as our annual security refresher courses. We also require it of users who have either committed some type of security faux pas or who did not pass the quiz at the end of our security training classes. We also require users who fail the periodic phishing testing to "refresh" with the training.

Makes users more likely to complete the training and keep up with the latest security risks. Has heightened awareness of the potential risks related to security threats. Enlightened attorneys and staff check out the latest training to ensure their practices are as secure as possible.

We use KnowBe4's all-access security awareness training, including PhishER and PhishRIP. Our entire organization is using these tools, including US and UK users, in over 15+ locations. We perform full phishing simulations, training, and use the Phish Report button for users to report into PhishER. We have statistically proven a high reduction in user click activity, and this program fulfills our security strategy for educating and performing simulations.

Fresh content means users will stay engaged and interested in training. Having such a large variety of content has allowed us to tailor training to different user groups and user types. At one point, we had to slow down the training pace as we found users were binge-watching an entire season worth of training in a couple of days. That alone tells you how amazing the content is.

We use the KnowBe4 (KB4) KMSAT product across our whole enterprise to provide cybersecurity training and conduct phishing tests of our employees. The combination has gone a long way in securing our cybersecurity risk.

This has been huge! We can count on KB4 to provide fresh and timely content that keeps our training programs from getting stale.

KnowBe4 has been a great asset to us. We started using it when we realized our users didn't know enough about the threats that were out there. I setup a fake email address and sent it to a few people in our organization, and an alarming number failed to tell it was fake. Now after training, our users are amazing at either spotting or reporting phishing and fake emails. We went from a nearly 30 percent failure rate to less than 2 percent now. I can't recommend KnowBe4 enough. Everyone I talk to that even mentions phishing, I tell them about our success. The ongoing training videos keep us all up to date, and the simulated phishing emails work wonders to make our users stay on their toes about security. It also goes past just email, their videos have helped our users spot fake websites and be much more cautious when traveling and getting on WIFI.

The fresh content has kept us using Knowbe4 much more than I would have thought. When we originally got on the product I thought we might stay with them a year and go on from there. After that year, I couldn't wait to renew. We find new videos and simulated phishing emails to use all the time. With Covid-19 going on, they pushed out new emails related to it to be sure people weren't more worried about Covid info than security. We found out they were and started to work with our people on that.

It is being used across the entire organization with monthly mandatory training. We focus on a variety of security issues such as phishing, PII handling, remote work, best practices, etc. These training initiatives have helped improve our organization's security awareness and have enhanced our staff's ability to protect our technological assets from malicious individuals and organizations.

Greatly improved. The training module, videos, and exercises that they offer are current and relevant to the challenges many organizations face today in the area of cybersecurity. They have helped improve our customer's security awareness from both a corporate and personal perspective. Without their services, we would be more vulnerable to malicious attacks.

We use it heavily to promote safe email practices. We focus heavily on simulated phishing attacks to continuously test and train our staff on how to spot them. The emails cover a wide variety of "products" to test people with commonly used external applications and websites. This is a mandatory piece of our security model.

We've just begun to implement their video training with our staff and the first one was excellent. It was timely with the current covid/work at home situations and provided immediate value. In addition, they keep improving on their phishing emails to help keep us on our toes and avoid getting caught by real phishing schemes.

We use KnowBe4's KMSAT and PhishER products across the entire enterprise. KnowBe4 training campaigns are used for employee InfoSec training. Phishing campaigns are used multiple times per month and result in automated KnowBe4 remedial phishing campaigns assigned to employees that fail phishing tests.

A huge impact! Our training campaigns are always fresh, with new content and a diverse approach based on the numerous publishers. Our employees provide much positive feedback on their assigned courses.

Cybercrime is getting more serious by the month. Hackers are getting smarter about tricking people into clicking on fraudulent links or opening up malicious attachments in emails. It happens every day. Because of this, our organization has decided that it is very important that everyone gets comprehensive security awareness training. We needed to defend our organization against cybercrime, and KnowBe4's product is one in a suite of awareness products that we are using to up the game at our company. We utilize this product and the security strategy across our whole organization and with certain key vendors also.

Made us better security brokers.

Clark Atlanta University mainly uses KnowBe4 as a platform to raise our security awareness and for our security awareness training. I currently have a campaign to do our quarterly assessment. The campaigns have been very useful in addressing and targeting our various departments and cost centers. KnowBe4 is used across my whole organization specifically in the area of phishing.

My security program is now robust and effective because of the content in the module store. This information gives me options to be able to segment the type of training needed for particular departments. The content is detailed enough and precise enough to get the point across. Thank you for the fresh content. I can hardly wait for the results of the next quarter campaign findings.

We use KnowBe4 as our primary tool for security awareness training. We use security awareness training modules and do monthly phishing assessments to test our users knowledge.

Huge Impact. We found that we need to refresh training to keep our users intrigued in the training. KnowBe4 provides that with their many different modules and training programs.

Sage Dental decided to go with KnowBe4 company-wide for End User Awareness Training for not only the subject of CyberSecurity but for HIPAA and PCI compliance. Upon rolling out our first phish test we realized how effective the system was at not only identifying areas of weakness (who was most susceptible) but to automatically drop those individuals into a remediation training for that particular area.

A very important item I would look at if you are considering KnowBe4 is to evaluate the massive amounts of content that is available for training your end users provided by them. Yes, you can save money by finding your own content but in all actuality, their content is amazing and goes above and beyond when it comes to finding the perfect style and content.

All end users (learners) have a different learning style and a different technical aptitude, KnowBe4's content allows us to present the same information in different ways depending on the audience.

We use KnowBe4 as our security awareness tool. KnowBe4 is used in our organization to educate our employees on information security, specially phishing. We run monthly testing and use KnowBe4 to educate employees on recognizing phishing emails.
KnowBe4 provides great reporting capability for us to track our employees training activities and reporting on phishing testing results.
Additionally, KnowBe4 provides a great functionality that can be embedded in Outlook for employees to report suspected phishing emails with a click.

This has been a great tool for my team to quickly and efficiently roll-out training.

KnowBe4 training has helped our network users avoid phishing attempts or other malware coming through email. The training has been very helpful to keep this in mind all of the time. Excellent awareness for all users was obtained and maintained through the occasional tests. It has been very helpful for our organization as a whole. Awareness is key!

Helped keep people aware of the constant barrage of phishing attempts and kept them from being fooled.
