KnowBe4 is offering organizations its new-school security awareness training – which includes unlimited simulated phishing emails – at a discount of up to 50 percent off list price of any KnowBe4 subscription levels to match or beat a competitor's pricing. KnowBe4 also adds free subscription months to buy-out the remaining old-school program. KnowBe4 is offering to absorb current contracts up to a year (adding the remaining time left onto a new contract) and is offering up to 50 percent off any KnowBe4's security awareness training and simulated phishing platform subscription levels, making it easy for any organization to switch.PhishingSecurityTestsReport-2

“If you’re not seeing your end users’ Phish-prone PercentageTM go down, it is time for a change,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “Otherwise, you are exposing your corporate crown jewels data to unnecessary risk. IT pros know the weakest link in IT security is the end user, but not everyone has effective security awareness training in place to manage the ongoing problem of social engineering. We have been getting numerous reports from customers of our competitors – who claim they have a great phishing assessment tool – but the customer is not seeing any improvements in the Phish-prone Percentage of their employees.”

As phishing and social engineering tactics become increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect, Sjouwerman emphasizes the extreme importance of first educating employees to recognize social engineering threats, and second reinforce that training with once-a month simulated phishing attacks to keep users on their toes with security top of mind.
