Easy reporting of phishing attacks. All phishing reports are in a tool designed for managing them.

A few setup items need to be done, but overall, it wasn't that bad, especially with the support and onboarding team.

"Phisher is an effective"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I've clicked on a link on accident last week that a friend sent. The link was blocked by PhishER which sparked me to reach out to that friend and confirm it was from her. Turned out she was hacked. However, I wasn't due to PhishER. :)

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I personally can't say that I dislike anything. PhishER has really saved me more than once. Kudos to the team that works there for that. Without them, I'd be changing my password all the time.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest is that even though I am vigilant, I do fall prey to phishing schemes. However, with the automagical blocker, I feel a sense of protection. It also helps me from changing all my passwords after an accidental click.

"Add another layer of defense to catch phishing e-mail"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

PhishER can automatically determine if an e-mail submitted by a user, via the Phish Alert Button, is phishing threat.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

If PhishER cannot automatically determine if an e-mail submitted by a user is a phishing threat, then the administrator needs to manually determine if it s a threat.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus:

Experiment with all the settings and ask your KnowBe4 rep a lot of questions. They are very knowledgeable about their products, and technical support is very good.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

PhishER, in conjunction with the Phish Alert Button, allows users to flag potential phishing e-mail that an organization's spam filters fail to catch. Once an e-mail is determined to be a genuine phish, then PhishER can pull the same e-mail received by other users from their respective inboxes and quarantine the message.

"PhishER : SOAR for Phishing"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

PhishER applies AI/ML to the phishing process. It greatly reduces the amount of security analyst time needed, then allows us to remove similar phishing emails from any company accounts (PhishRIP)... this is the solution that phishing has needed for years. The ability to setup custom rules for managing phishing emails is great too.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The workflow is not as intuitive as it could be, so analysts really need to take PhishER training before working with it. Having said that, KnowBe4 makes that available weekly for free. The other thing is that you have to open a new tab to go to PhishER (i.e., it is not bundled into the 'normal' KnowBe4 console except via a link), but this is a minimal hassle.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus:

If you are concerned about responding to user identified phishing emails I cannot think of a better investment.

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Phishing continues to be one of the biggest risks to enterprise security, and PhishER is a tremendous advantage for security teams tackling the issue. It has drasticaly cut down the time to research and react to suspected phishing emails.

"Powerful & Effective"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

The dashboard has all the information you need on it. You can also create custom rules for inbound messages. It has a powerful search "query" within the inbox, and the integration with PAB is flawless!

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus?

I wish the query aspect could be automated for quarantining messages based on system or custom rules.

Recommendations to others considering KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus:

PhishER is worth it!

What problems is KnowBe4 PhishER/PhishER Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to quarantine several emails from one query automatically has saved a lot of time.
