Great Tool for Cyber Security Awareness
User risk scores, failed phishing tests.

KnowBe4 raising the bar for email security
As explained previously we make use of the comparison with industry peers as well as looking at specific metrics within campaigns such as who opened the emails, who reported the emails, who clicked on the links or opened attachments. Getting all of this telemetry gives us great visibility into our phishing propensity and helps us target future campains

KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training review
more specific data that can be then manipulated to show other metrics
February 06, 2024
One-Stop Security Awareness
We rely on a few common metrics. Generally, we look at training completion rates, we keep a close eye on new hire time to train, and we monitor risk scores at the individual and team levels. Last, but not least, we keep close watch on the Phish Prone Percentage, again at the individual and team levels.
February 01, 2024
Great content, engaging and interactive training
Love the phishing simulations to track and test employees application of the knowledge learned in the course.
January 31, 2024
Honest user Review of KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training
InfoSec training reports are very important to pass the compliance audit and performing phishing simulation test is also very critical part for passing external audits. We have also gone through ISO certification and multiple external audits happened and with the help of the KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training tool we have passed the certification without any problem.

Fantastic Security and Compliance Training Platform
for compliance, making sure all employees have completed training with a sufficient passing score.

KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Works Great
Failed attempts could have an affect on performance reviews.
January 22, 2024
Solid security training and synthetic phishing
The most important statistics for our organisation were the percentage of training completion as well as the number of users that had clicked on a synthetic phishing email. Both were reported up to the board for visibility. There was additional reporting capability, however we found it best to keep it simple
January 20, 2024
KnowBe4
The metrics and report are important because it gives us a general idea of who and/or whom is not paying attention and who is actually carefully examining their emails. So far our end users are passing the test and some are almost there.

Great Product, Great Support, Great Outcome
- Phishing click-throughs<br>- Percentage participating in training.<br><br>We report this to the Board on a monthly basis.

January 20, 2024
Great System for the Price
We pay close attention to the risk score, phishing activity, and phish-failure reports

KnowBe4 works in D83!
Phish prone percentage broken down by individual staff members.
January 12, 2024
Great product with lots of options for managers and users!
The most important metrics and reporting are users enrolled in training, users who have completed training, successful report phish button deployments, number of phishing reports (we have plentiful opportunities), and, of course, statistics around the anti-phishing simulations.

SAT from KB4
Report on which users has not completed a mandatory training grouped per country or department.
If possible linked to the number of failed phishing mails clicked.
Today we also have a manual report that is send out to each enduser (on a manual yearly basis) that gives him an overview of his (personal) last year:
This includes: number of trainings (incl number completed, time needed to complete), number of simulated phishing mails received (incl clicked, opened and reported), number of mails reported via the PAB (from PhishER) (and how many where indeed seen as threat)

KnowBe4 a great source for security awareness training materials
We aim for 100% training completion of the training campaigns assigned to our target employees.
January 10, 2024
KnowBe4 is an outstanding value and easy to use
The most important metrics are training completed in a timely manner, click rates of users overall, highlighting specific users having a problem identifying the red-flags of a phishing campaign (repeat offenders) so they can receive additional assistance for a better chance of them not clicking on a real phishing attempt.

Who took the training and who did not take the training. Who clicked on phishing simulated emails.

Help Turn Your Users into Human Firewalls!
For us there's a couple of things we're always looking at during active campaigns (be it phishing or training).
For phishing, we're always looking to see who submitted the email using the PAB, who clicked, and even potentially who entered credentials if they clicked.
As far as training goes, we're constantly looking at who completed it and how long it took them to complete the active training they're assigned.

Something phishy about this email....
The phish prone numbers are presented bi-monthly. We provide a yearly comparison to the board annually as well.

The Benefits of Time-Saving Software
The phishing reports are most useful.

The training every business needs
We like to have reports on how our employees are doing, but also how we stack up against other organizations in our business sector. These reports are already provided by KnowBe4 so it's incredibly helpful.
