“Security awareness training doesn’t have to be boring, nor should it,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “‘The Inside Man’ is the most utilised training that KnowBe4 offers in the optional training category because it is highly captivating and the production quality is more like a network-quality series than training. This season is filled with thrilling plot twists and a new adversary to keep users on the edge of their seats when they watch. We are pleased to bring our customers another season of their favourite security awareness training series, adding to KnowBe4’s ever-growing content library and helping customers to further enhance security culture.”
“In this season, we see many of these exciting plotlines finally come home to roost,” said Jim Shields, creative director, Twist & Shout Communications, a KnowBe4 company. “Storylines for which we've spent two or three seasons laying the foundations. It's powerful stuff, and the production team have excelled themselves as usual in bringing it to life. I'm unbelievably proud to be a part of this series.”
‘The Inside Man‘ is a highly engaging, network-quality video series, now with five seasons, created by Twist & Shout Communications, a KnowBe4 company.
