Security Awareness

Old school Security Awareness Training is static. It’s a one-time event without follow-up. KnowBe4’s Security Awareness Training starts with a baseline test to show the actual Phish-prone percentage of your users. Then it steps users through effective, interactive, on-demand browser-based training. As step three, you send frequent simulated phishing attacks to your employees to reinforce the training. This last feature, frequent simulated phishing attacks (we recommend at the very least once a month), really creates a change in behaviour.

KnowBe4 was built 100% in the cloud from scratch. There LMS and courseware live in Amazon’s Web Services cloud, ensuring robust performance and reliability. Whether you have a few hundred or thousands of employees, KnowBe4’s platform is ready for to host your training, no matter the size.

One organisation found the following ROI and benefits from using KnowBe4’s security awareness training platform: A three-year ROI of 276% with payback in less than 3 months. $432.3K reduction in risk exposure over three years by building a stronger security posture via awareness training and simulated phishing testing.

Through training, organisations can raise employee awareness and cyber threat intelligence, reducing the risk of human error leading to data loss. This will help employees understand the importance of data protection and identify potential threats and take appropriate action to prevent data breaches.

One-off cybersecurity sessions aren’t enough to combat the sophisticated attacks seen today. By continuously educating employees, running regular phishing simulations, encouraging a no-blame reporting culture, and adapting to evolving threats, organisations can build a robust defence against phishing attacks.
