The technology evolves very fast and today we are using technologies that probably in a few years will not be used anymore. Having new contents can help everyone to be updated and also focus on the recent threats and to avoid new vectors to harm the companies having a bad impact to the company that can get a long time to recover.
KnowBe4 is a very user friendly platform, using that as a user, using that as a manager. The information is well separated in different sections and it is fully configurable. It is possible to customize some trainings which can help a lot with the company identity and then having more people using that.
The most important information that it shows is the company health, what trainings the users are doing, how long they take to complete that, did they have any difficulties while doing that? Trainings x Phishing campaigns, how many people that complete the trainings were phished in the phishing campaign? How many people are not getting caught on the phishing campaigns?
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training New Features
Integrating the platform is very important for any kind of organization. If it was necessary to manage users that are arriving or leaving the company it would be a difficult task, leading to errors. Another important factor is not to have the need of creating multiple users and passwords and then it will be easier to access the platform and also to have a better view about how the organization is today.
There are several threats every day and to be updated is not an easy task and also creating new content to follow all these changes is very difficult. Learning what are these new threats and to develop new content based on all the trainings the users are doing and also to monitor the new scenarios based on theses new threats would be great.
The company has already created phishing campaings and also based on the metrics we could get from these numbers an overview how the users behave when receiving these phishings. Managing the real phishing by hand is not an easy task and we have not had the opportunity to use PhishEr and PhishFlip yet but in the future we could verify the possibility of using that.
