A History of Reliable Products and Service

Built by Admins for Admins
The KnowBe4 platform is created by “admins for admins”, designed with intuitive navigation and an easy UI that takes minimal time to deploy and manage. From day one, it was built to scale and can handle literally unlimited end users with ease.

We understand your day-to-day is putting out 16 fires, so we made an easy-to-use console with start-up tools to help you take the guesswork out of creating your security awareness program.

World’s Largest Security Awareness Training and Simulated Phishing Platform
In your fight against phishing and ransomware you have the best-in-class phishing platform combined with the largest library of interactive web-based training materials at your fingertips; including 1000+ interactive modules, videos, games, posters and newsletters. The KnowBe4 ModStore library is constantly refreshed and always growing which gives enough phishing and training campaign combinations that you could set up an entire year’s campaign ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ that delivers unique content to all your employees.

With the industry’s largest full-time content development staff, we stay ahead of the pack to deliver relevant new security topics in different educational flavors that gives you access to new and always-fresh training content fast.

Real Proof that Changing Your Employee Behavior Improves Your IT Security and Culture
Human error, though mostly unintentional, is one of the main causes of cyber security incidents. When your employees are the weakest link in your IT security, your threats of compromise will increase over time unless you educate them and educate consistently.

With KnowBe4's massive database, we analyzed 11.9 million users over the course of 12 months, and our Annual Phishing by Industry Benchmarking Report research revealed the overall industry initial Phish-prone Percentage benchmark turned out to be a troubling 34.3%.

Fortunately, the data showed that this 34.3% can be brought down to almost half to just 18.9% in only 90 days by deploying new-school security awareness training. The 365-day results show that by following these best practices, the final Phish-prone percentage can be minimized to 4.6% on average.

When you send simulated phishing and training campaigns to your employees on an ongoing basis they learn to STOP, LOOK, and THINK before they click. You are training your employees to be part of your Human Defense Layer and they are active participants in helping to protect your organization’s risk to social engineering!

Frequent Releases of New Features
We know it’s important you always have the most up-to-date and cutting-edge features and functionality to bolster your IT security posture.

That means you get access to real new-school security awareness training features that lower tiered platforms are not able to deliver.

Super Useful Additional Products 
Your time is critically important. We constantly try to get you tools to get more efficient. Examples are PhishER that saves tons of time doing email triage, the new Compliance Plus that allows you roll out compliance training campaigns as easy as awareness training, and more to come!

Why Our Customers Love Us

Our data is everything—without it, we don't have a product, so securing it is an absolute priority that starts with training our people. KnowBe4 is the best at helping us do so.

Censia | Technology Manager

We are greatly enjoying the switch to KnowBe4. I appreciate all the help your people have provided and the tools that are provided. Initially I was apprehensive switching from PhishMe but your product is much more thorough and the AD sync option saves me time as well as provides more accuracy

M.C. | InfoSecurity Technical Analyst

You and your team have made my life much better in dealing with employee awareness.  It is very appreciated and has given us boost up with our regulatory requirements and preventative measures. 

M.E. | VP Engineering

I’ve been very pleased with both the Phishing module and the training options available. As a former PhishMe customer, I appreciate the variety of templates available for both campaigns and landing pages and the Phish Alert button is popular with staff as well.
