Training new employees in HR and IT subjects. There is also the Phish Alert Button and Phish ER that help us to keep ahead of cybersecurity threats. We also utilize the cybersecurity trainings for more than just email safety. We have looked at trainings around QR codes and USB drives to help keep our end users as safe a vigilant as possible.

I believe KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training is well suited for anyone/everyone/company/business etc that wants to further protect themselves from the vast array of social engineering threats. Security in todays landscape begins with educating your workforce on the continued threats we face and Security Awareness Training is the best way to kick off a successful security program.

There are not many scenarios I can even think of where KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training would not be appropriate. But, if I had to give one example it would be: A person/company that does not use computers, phones, internet and basically does not exist. So in light of this you would basically be Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.
