KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training

I'm the lead admin in my school for KnowBe4. I assign training to new staff and run an automated quarterly phishing test that goes to all of our 160+ staff. Those who fail the phishing test are automatically added to a group that has required remediation training. Since we've been using KnowBe4, our phishing prone score has improved and many staff have been able to successfully avoid phishing scams.

• We've had several phishing attempts that were "emergencies" to update banking information that users didn't fall for, so that has saved potentially thousands of dollars.
• I don't have specific-hard numbers, but I do believe KnowBe4 has been very valuable to us.

We were using the phish alert training modules after simulated phishing campaigns. Users who failed too many consecutive times were enrolled in additional learning. Phishing remains one of the biggest methods employed by hackers to try to gain access, and people who were not learning how to identify a phish email needed the additional training.

• The campaign/training cycle showed a declining number of people falling for the campagins
• Regularly updated training modules sometimes covered newer threats
• Reporting was simple and easy to ingest for management
