We have various simulated phishing attacks that, over time, calculate a security awareness score. If a mandatory participant fails such a test, the user is prompted for additional training.
  • Provides simulated phishing emails to unaware corporate email users.
  • Provides training for various phishing attacks
  • Keeps a running score, per user, over time and evaluates the user awareness to phishing campaigns.

  • The accumulated score does not reset over a period of time.
  • Every member in our organization has gone through hours of KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training.
  • This training has invariably stopped malicious phishing attacks and malware.
  • The KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training has educated everyone of the varying degrees of exploits.

KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training has greatly educated all of our users, both technical and non-technical, of the pitfalls of email SPAM, phishing, and malware. The consequences of getting tripped up on these various pitfalls were also explored in depth.
The users' accumulated scoring shows the pass and fail ratio for each recipient. Periodically, these scores are calibrated against a security vector for a per-user risk score. The results of these scores can lead up to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
The pass and fail ratio of each user's phishing tests are reflected upon the user's security competency.
I wasn't aware of all the phishing techniques that bad actors are using. Another incident, that I failed, was an email from HR with an attachment. I wasn't aware of internal AD-level spoofing while inside the corporate environment.
