Overall Satisfaction with KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training

KnowBe4 training exposes new and veteran employees to threats both external and internal.
  • Security awareness for employees.
  • Security training for new employees on company policies.
  • Makes employees more vigilant to security issues.
  • Exposes employees to both external and internal risks and how to mitigate
  • Maybe a little more in depth training.

We used another product prior to KnowBe4, and the product was cumbersome, and employees didn't like the product. KnowBe4 has proven to be a valuable investment both from a cost perspective as well as employee engaged.

Keeping up with the ever-changing security landscape. Each year it is fresh content, and we get excellent feedback from employees! We annually also perform a random test, sending phishing emails out, and employees comment that they are more vigilant due to the annual training by KnoowBe4.
We track employees who have completed training, and employees who haven't completed training and also generate reports. Each year and any new employee is prompted via email to sign in and complete the annual KnowBe4 training. Employees must complete training in order to access our network.
Monitoring employee training results metrics, so we know where to focus better on follow-up training. The metrics gives us great reporting results!
Very well suited to educate our employees on the risks/dangers of security issues and threats. Annually our employees must take the KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training. New employees are prompted when signing on to the network via email to complete KnowBe4 training.
