With this new-school integrated platform, user can train and phish your users, see their Phish-prone percentage improve over time and get measurable results.

KnowBe4 was founded on the principle that the human side of the cyber security industry is severely neglected. There is no national security strategy in place to protect against cyber-attacks on private organizations; Small and Medium Enterprises are completely on their own. The efficacy of the major source of network protection to date, antivirus suites against malicious threats and zero-day exploits, is severely lacking—antivirus is but a component of a truly effective network security strategy.
