Overall Satisfaction with KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training

We use KnowBe4 as our staff training programme. We set up monthly phishing test as our aim is to have 0% click-throughs. Every quarter (3 monthly), we set-up modules for all staff to complete. The modules for each training depends on the topical issue at the time. Game modules are particularly well received. Staff have found the training to be useful not only in doing their day-to-day tasks but also out side of work.
  • Comprehensive Content: KnowBe4 offers a wide range of content covering various aspects of cybersecurity, including phishing attacks, social engineering, malware threats, and more. The training modules are designed to be comprehensive and address different facets of security awareness.
  • Interactive Learning: KnowBe4 incorporates interactive elements into its training, making the learning experience engaging and memorable. Interactive formats, such as quizzes, games, and interactive scenarios, enhance staff participation and knowledge retention.
  • Customization Options: KnowBe4 offers customisation options, allowing us to tailor our training content to our specific needs. This adaptability ensures that the training aligns with our organisation's security risks and requirements.
  • The ability to control the phishing test mail headers on KnowBe4 that obviously identify them as coming from KnowBe4 and it makes these tests easy to circumvent. It is trivially easy to just make an outlook rule for "If mail header contains word 'KnowBe4' -> move to spam" and users never have to deal with these ever again.
  • Easier to change campaign dates/duration without having the need to create a new one if an existing campaign is set to run at a particular period.
  • Improved compliance - we are ISO 27001 certified and need to show we do have an on-going training programme.
  • Awareness - our staff are now really aware of what to look for and are very vigilant.
  • Reduction is security incidents

We are now able to have a structured training programme. The availability of fresh training content can have several positive impacts on a security awareness training program:
- engagement and relevance.
- adaptability to emerging threats.
- continuous improvement.
- customisation.
- Creating, updating, and deleting user accounts.
- Creating training programmes (choosing topics for training).
- Assigning training modules to specific users or groups.
- Monitoring user progress and performance.
- Phishing click-throughs
- Percentage participating in training.

We report this to the Board on a monthly basis.
Most of the training modules provided by KnowBe4 is very useful. It is just a matter of balancing how much training to do and not get people be bombarded with too much too regularly. Short, sharp modules are the best as people tend to do this and get the information required without having to spend too much time.
