"Has decreased instances of employees falling for actual phisihing emails by a wide margin"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The types of phishing tests we can do along with being able to set a schedule of when to run the tests.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

I would like to see different training modules we can use when users fail a phishing test. Mainly when a user fails the first time and takes the training if they fail again I'd like there to be a different training module that maybe explains the concpets differently.

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

It has helped cut down on users falling for phishing scams. Along with cutting down on breaches due to user falling for scams it has helped increase user awareness of what common scams look like and they are more likely to report actual phishing emails.

"Lot of great content covering a range of topics and services"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

Knowbe4 has a lot of great training content covering many topics of all aspects of security and compliance. They are a very progressive security company offering more than just training services. They offer tools that help identify and report spam with features to help administrators block spam before it hits the user's email. Their information, templates, and training are always up today with current threats.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

They have the ability to export campaign data into excel, but sometimes it would be nice to do a quick sort in the interface. Not all the import fields to me are available on the web console.

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

It is keeping my users educated about how attackers and threats target them. I am able to keep stats about who completee training for annual review purposes and employee development.

"Training is friendly and effective, for people with or without an IT background."

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

I like that it creates more employee awareness and increases the organization's security by reinforcing the most vulnerable sector. It not only professionally helps employees, but it also protects them with their personal email and digital life

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

sometimes some training courses have too many concepts, and some of them don't apply to the organization, it would be great to have individual modules (e.g. phishing, tailgating, smishing) and select them to create your own course

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

Increase awareness and overall security, decrease the chance of having a user clicking on a bad link and compromising the entire organization as well as protect users in their day to day digital life

"We have only been a client for a few months, and we are very impressed with the content variety"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The content variety is great, the phishER is very unique. Out client manager Ariel is so knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It would be great if the platform were made just a bit more user friendly. Even with the training it's just too much to remember, we would be lost without our account manager

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

Making it easy to launch identical campaigns for the English and French speakers. It's the law in Canada, and we are bending it right now.

"Great experience so far"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

The ability to train the organization's employees without having to go through difficult use. The employees find the training valuable and helpful. They are able to provide feedback on what they liked and didn't like. I also really enjoy the fact that we can set up different phishing campaigns. It allows for the different difficulties of phishing, so if your easier is pretty versed in phishing, you can make it harder for them to figure out. You can also change the landing pages of phishing campaigns. You can tell the user that they clicked a phishing email or just act as if the page lost connection to the web and will give an error.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

There is a limitation in new training or the variety of training that we can use. For example, for cybersecurity, there are only about 4 different modules and I would like to see more. We do our training triannually and currently, we are making our employees do the same training every time. I would like to be able to have the users do different training every time. This would allow different information to be shown to our employees without having to create different training modules for each one.

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

The knowledge that they hold as a whole. They are learning to become human firewalls. There wasn't a security culture here prior, and now we are developing one with the help of knowbe4.
