Overall Satisfaction with KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training

KnowBe4 is used for sending out Phishing campaigns as well as providing training for our end users on how to recognize phishing emails and to help lower the risk of clicking on links in these emails. As a healthcare organization, we have a large risk for ransomware, and the ability to easily report suspicious emails using the phish alert button, as well as the campaigns with fake phishing emails that are sent out, help inoculate our end users from falling for these attempts.

Pros

  • Data and Reports for Phishing Campaigns.
  • Customer Support is the best of any vendor I've worked with.
  • High Quality Training Modules for end user education.

Cons

  • Wish all training was available without different subscription levels.
  • We have seen the rate of "clicks" on phishing emails drop when testing from over 30% to less than 5% click rate within the organization.
  • It has brought awareness to security at all levels of the company and created a more intense focus on security response when potential attacks happen.
The level of customer service provided by KnowBe4 to their consumers is well above that of any other vendor. Because of this, there has been no consideration past initial due diligence in switching providers for security training. They go above and beyond every day to ensure their customers have all the tools they need to create a safer and better environment.

There are constant changes in the world of cyber security, and KnowBe4 continually us putting out fresh content to help identify these changes and educate the end user. This content has enabled us to always have an up-to-date training module ready for our end users' education and keep them educated on the latest types of attack attempts.
We use the integration that KnowBe4 offers with our active directory services. This allows all of our user databases to always be up to date with passwords and those currently employed for end-user training. We also integrate with SSO so that the end users only have to use one login to access the system.
It is important to us to be able to report to executive management the reduction in clicks we are able to see from the phishing campaigns and the training that is offered.
Proofpoint Email Encryption, Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP)
This training is well suited for all industries. With the prevalence of ransomware attacks across all types of industries, making sure that the employees can recognize potential bad emails and handle them appropriately is paramount to the safety of both an organization's data as well as the data of that organization's customers. This training is well suited and should be used for everyone possible. There is no scenario where I would see this training not being a good use for a company.
