"KnowBe4 is a top shelf product and went beyond expectations."

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

There are so many things that I like about the product, namely the rich content, relevant delivery method of connecting to the audience and ease of navigation. Outside of the product, the implementation method, I must say work extremely well and deserves a mention as well.

What problems is KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are addressing cyber-security training specifically. The benefits have not yet been realized, based on the positive reception from those that have engaged in the training, I would say the benefits will be far reaching as employees learn to defend against exploits.
