KnowBe4 raising the bar for email security
We definitely like the unique and country specific phishing campaigns. The campaigns we see and select are close to actually phishing scenarios that we see in the day to day operational part of our business so its useful to be able to emulate those as it add a authentic feel to the campaigns

User feedback has been mostly positive for both the quality of the content as well as the production value.

Honest user Review of KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training backend team always keeps on updating modules and upload fresh content. They always retire the old content whenever required and keep on updating the old content as per the security needs. Modules on the KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training portal fulfil our requirements of compliance and security. This also helped us passing ISO audits and some other external audits.

Fantastic Security and Compliance Training Platform
Positive impact - employees get yearly training that doesn't seem as redundant. They are able to quickly log in and complete the training and have a fresh take on the training.
January 22, 2024
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Works Great
The fresh training content I have seen has all been very good and informative. I have clicked on more that the required training to see what else was available but wasn't able to access many trainings. I wonder what other fresh content is being created to help train users on keeping safe in todays every changing and evolving world of the internet.
January 22, 2024
Solid security training and synthetic phishing
Better overall cyber security awareness across the organisation, it also created a discussion point for staff. The synthetic phishing provided a great overall view of the organisations understanding of the training and allowed us to target specific groups for extended training. Additionally it was great to be able to report back to the whole company about the percentage of click throughs.

KnowBe4
It has a huge impact on our end users. They have been made aware of what emails are coming to them. if they noticed the emails that are phishing emails, they are more aware of them and delete them and/or report it to us as part of the exercise.
January 20, 2024
Great Product, Great Support, Great Outcome
We are now able to have a structured training programme. The availability of fresh training content can have several positive impacts on a security awareness training program:<br>- engagement and relevance.<br>- adaptability to emerging threats.<br>- continuous improvement.<br>- customisation.

KnowBe4 works in D83!
When I mention to other vendors that we use KnowBe4, they don't really have anything to add in their program. They have only mentioned that they know that KnowBe4 is a good program for cybersecurity training.
January 12, 2024
Great product with lots of options for managers and users!
It is nice to have options, but sometimes difficult to find the right ones. I would prefer more options than fewer, however!

SAT from KB4
Since we are planning to train our end-users on a regular (monthly or bi-monthly) basis, it is very important that new, fresh trainings (in the different languages) is provided regularly.
Otherwise we will need to change to another product when all trainings have been rollout out.
Also new content eg. A.I. within the enterprise are needed

KnowBe4 a great source for security awareness training materials
The access to different content publishers allows for more variety of styles and types of training modules, which enriches the training experience for our employees.
January 10, 2024
KnowBe4 is an outstanding value and easy to use
The variety of topics and content publishers provides fresh and varied content for users and provides content from a number of different perspectives. This plays to the fact that different people learn in different ways. There is an overall re-do of the core message every year and a steady release of smaller topics throughout the year.

There is a lot of content we don't use.

Help Turn Your Users into Human Firewalls!
It helps to keep it fresh and new so that we don't have to use the same content over and over again. When sending out tests (either short or long) we always try and send some of the newest training modules out so that the people that need it, mainly the ones outside of IT, are given the latest information regarding the state of what's going on in the world of tech security.

Something phishy about this email....
They update the training library constantly. It is great to look at the new content, but delivery to my users is an internal issue.

Vetted Review
Verified User
Fresh content means our staff doesn't have to see repetitive content within our phishing or training campaigns. New content for phishing campaigns makes it harder for end-users to identify phishing emails, so that is informative/educational for them and helps keep them on their toes. New training content helps to prevent content-burnout, thus improving our staff's level of retention.

KnowBe4 Sec training
The availability of fresh training content and access to various content publishers can have a significant impact on a security awareness training program. Things like engagement and relevance, diverse perspectives, adaptability all play a part.
