Knowbe4 is helping us to mature our cyber security awareness program by assisting with locating quality trainings that meet our operational goals and also allows us to obtain useful reporting for our compliance.

"KnowBe4 helps scale your security awareness program!"

What do you like best about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

I like that KnowBe4 helps me leverage automation to provide timely and useful security content to employees. We have a small security team and won't be able to scale the program without the automation capabilities. We also leverage some of the newsletter content and publish the information on our intranet. KnowBe4's features of security awareness content and automated phishing tests help keep our employees more aware.

What do you dislike about KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training?

I'm not sure there is much to dislike. That said, in order to really take advantage of some of KnowBe4's features like the simulated phishing campaigns and building up a security awareness culture, requires time. So be willing to use KnowBe4 for at least 12 months (longer would be more ideal) to really have a good baseline understanding of your organization's security awareness posture.

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

KnowBe4 solves multiple business problems for us. It helps us demonstrate an ongoing security awareness program for our regulators. In addition, it helps provide timely and memorable security awareness training for our employees and keeps employees vigilant throughout the year with simulated phishing emails.
