We also receive weekly newsletters that provide helpful information about trends in the world of cyber security so that we can stay up-to-date and alert about what phishing attacks are common in our industry and with businesses similar to ours.

KnowBe4 raising the bar for email security
For phishing awareness and training. We monitor our phishing propensity and compare it to industry trends provided by KnowBe4. We have integrated the ecosystem using the button in Outlook in order to report phishing campaigns. We have considered the training and sampled it in the past although not rolled this out to staff.

Knowbe4
We use the awareness training primarily. this is done to make staff aware of potential cyber security risks and what to watch for. We also provide a monthly Phishing campaign which trains staff. Yearly we do send out an assessment and survey to identify weakness in our staff. Once the weakness are identified we send out targeted training to address these weaknesses.

annual and ongoing security awareness training with specialized training for specific users. also utilize phishER email inbox. modstore videos such as 'inside man' for employees to watch at leisure.
February 12, 2024
Easy to Use and Implement
We utilize the software to conduct annual security training, PCI training and other compliance modules to pass audits and security measures for our company. Every employee is required to use the system and go through about 5-8 different modules. We have been using it for a few years and have had a great experience so far.

One-Stop Security Awareness
Legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations call for training personnel on various topics based on roles and responsibilities. Although I work for a small company, these requirements apply to us as well. KnowBe4 provides an LMS platform that includes content on a wide range of topics, allows managing training campaigns based on user groups we define, and allows us to add or customize content the way that works best for us. They also provide timely content in the form of emails and signage to address threats as they are hitting the headlines. Additionally, we use their simulated phishing tools to ensure our users are prepared to identify and report potentially malicious emails.

Great content, engaging and interactive training
Bi-annual cyber security training. It is required company-wide to ensure all employees understand cyber security risks and help to protect the company from threats. It is a very thorough training and has been helpful to protect the company from threats.

Honest user Review of KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training
As a security engineer, i perform security awareness training annually for my organisation to fulfil compliance requirement. This tool is so user friendly for admin as well as users. Pre-loaded modules are easy to select and initiating training is also very easy. Most important we can customize trainings as per our needs and can initiate trainings to only those users/groups that whom we want as per company's requirement. Also, after trainings completion tracking and sharing reports is also very user friendly with the management. If someone fails the training then we can also enrol them for re-training so that compliance requirement is fulfilled. Great tool for everyone.

Fantastic Security and Compliance Training Platform
Our company was needing a solution to make sure all employees with email access were compliant on security and IT training. KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training provided us with a solution to be able to administer training to all employees and track completion. It also gave us the ability to monitor progress year after year.

KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Works Great
I am an enduser of the software and we have required cybersecurity training to take on an annual basis. The software allows us to send Phishing emails to our Help Desk and they are able to determine if it is a real threat and take actions accordingly. The training I have taken is very well put together and entertaining as well as informative.

Solid security training and synthetic phishing
We used KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training for our staff onboarding training (for foundational cyber security training), as well as synthetic phishing exercises. It allowed us to get a feeling for how well the training for being received and understood. Our IT team also had access to additional training videos for skill enhancement and uplift.

KnowBe4
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training we use for phishing campaigns and training for our end users. since we are a healthcare company, phishing is a huge problem and a way hackers to access sensitive PHI info. We use Knowbe4 for monthly simulated phishing attacks to see if our users understand and notice phishing type emails that hit their inbox.
January 20, 2024
Great Product, Great Support, Great Outcome
We use KnowBe4 as our staff training programme. We set up monthly phishing test as our aim is to have 0% click-throughs. Every quarter (3 monthly), we set-up modules for all staff to complete. The modules for each training depends on the topical issue at the time. Game modules are particularly well received. Staff have found the training to be useful not only in doing their day-to-day tasks but also out side of work.
January 20, 2024
Great Training Product!
We use it to send fake phishing emails and track how many employees click on the fake email. We also use it to train our employees on what phishing emails are and how to spot them and report them. This helps keep the company and all our data safe in case a real phishing email pops up. The visuals are also very useful to look at individuals, departments, and their risk scores.
January 20, 2024
Great System for the Price
We require all new hire to complete this training to mitigate any risk of company information being breeched.

KnowBe4 works in D83!
We use KnowBe4 to train all our staff on cybersecurity. The training provides our staff with practical knowledge and skills to recognize phishing emails and prevent our district from a cyber attack. Our district’s baseline phish-prone percentage was 13.9%, but our current phish-prone percentage has gone down to 5.3%. Staff who have successfully reported the most phishing emails, have the fewest number of clicks on phishing emails, completed all training modules on time, and have the lowest phish-prone percentage received a special gift.
January 12, 2024
Great product with lots of options for managers and users!
We use KnowBe4 for phishing testing and training. It helps to educate the population and stop preventable attacks. There are a good number of modules and various entertaining options, and the anti-phishing tests are relevant to what we experience in "the wild." We deploy simulations and training across our campus and to specific groups to strengthen our security response.

KnowBe4 a great source for security awareness training materials
KnowBe4 is our source for security awareness training contents. Their vast library of multi-language training modules allows us to easily train our employees accross all countries with the same training contents. We specially like the episode-like series training because of its high-end production and also because it makes it easy and fun to learn about cybersecurity.

KnowBe4 is an outstanding value and easy to use
All employees take cyber security awareness training during onboarding, and subsequently if they've clicked a link or opened a document in a phishing campaign. Periodically we easily send out short training sessions for a specific topic based on need because of a new attack vector or because a particular type of phishing campaign is more successful than others.
January 10, 2024
KnowBe4

Help Turn Your Users into Human Firewalls!
We use the Security Awareness training to help educate our users on detecting malicious emails to PREVENT unauthorized access to our systems. Our goal with the software is to create a "human firewall" and if we can get our end users to be smart enough to determine that an email truly is malicious and NOT click on it (and report it using the PAB and PhishER) then we know we've made an impact on them and they will hopefully not click on an email.
December 08, 2023
Something phishy about this email....
Our primary use of KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training is their phishing campaigns and additional training within. We typically do a phishing campaign monthly with varying degrees of difficulty. If a user fails the test, they are enrolled in additional training. Repeat failures get additional training on top of a normal failure. This is truly increased our security awareness to the point where most employees scrutinize all emails before any action on them.

The Benefits of Time-Saving Software
