"Thoughts of a sceptic"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It is so much more than a phishing tool. It enables us to benchmark our colleagues before embarking on a campaign to educate our colleagues, and then come back to the survey to measure improvements.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

We have a very supportive TAM but this relies on us knowing what the product can do or having an idea of what we want. This elongates the time to get the benefits of the product. I'm not sure if you should provide formal training courses to set up and use the tools.

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

reducing the number of colleagues responding to BEC, meaning less input from our service desk colleague to respolve issues created by clicking on links in emails etc.

It has cut down on email clicks of spam and or infected emails however has upped the amount of false positives where people think they are but as soon as we look a them you can tell they are real, not infected emails. Also has made our end users quicker to delete items so sometimes real emails get caught in that batch but might not be too bad..

"KnowBe4 is an excellent online security awareness training platform"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

It offers a good variety of short to medium length courses that are up-to-date with current state of network security. The web interface is easy to use for end users and easy to manage for administrators. Setting up users is as easy as importing a CSV or linking to the Active Directory. Training campaigns are easy to set up. Testing is effective. Once you get the campaigns and tests scheduled, they run on their own, collecting data and generating reports. Overall, it's very low maintenance for an admin to keep a company's security awareness training going on KnowBe4

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

There is nothing I don't like about this platform.

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

Since we are in the utility sector, security is of the utmost importance to us. Many of our employees are not technology-savvy therefore need a lot of repetitive training and ongoing continuing education to maintain security awareness and develop skills to identify and counter cyber threats. KnowBe4 provides a great solution to address our issues. Since implementing the program, our phish-prone score has drop significant from above the industry average at the time of baselining to well below it at present.

Not being able to create your own phishing or email campaign, draft it and use it. I have a draft, but when I attempted to search for it, I wasn't able to use it.

We have seen a lot of positive feedback from all departments across our organization. We sent out a training campaign, which was optional and employees were wanting to gain access to KnowBe4 and complete it!
