Lowers human element risks and has innovative training

Some more AI-driven automation for creating training and phishing testing campaigns, as well as automated reporting would help. The Phish Alert button could be improved, although it is understood this is due to Microsoft's constant changes. Any improvements in wizards and documentation are always a good thing!. Additonal areas for improvement could be around the technical training and best practice training areas such as NIST CSF, CISv8, Cyberinsurance, and more. Clearer whitelisting requirements are always appreciated. However, the current levels are significant and appreciated.

Chief Technology Officer at Cyient

Has great value for money with excellent features like unlimited cyber-attack simulation cycles, periodic assessment, and employee hack records

We have been using this tool for a while and have not faced any challenge as such. Talking about the technology, the tool is up to date. The only thing that I found lacking in the product was SIEM integration. Other than that, the tool is a complete package. The training that the tool provides is well structured and user friendly. Also, it has a highly interactive awareness content library based on the current cyber threat landscape. The tool is a versatile attack simulator with enticing template options.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The main thing is the overall report card. We get to tell the percentages of users who click on links and who don't click on links. We also get an overall score or risk score from them, which also helps us."

"KnowBe4's formulas for risk reduction simply work. Being a technical company, our initial phish-prone percentage wasn't super high, but it was still around 18%. Since we have been requiring ongoing training and simulated phish testing, our average phish-prone percentage hovers in the 0 to 3% range now."

"There are many valuable features. It's already deployed in the cloud, and you don't have to install anything. You just upload your users to the cloud and tweak something if needed. You can whitelist some servers to work with this properly. When everything is ready, you can start using the platform and its many automated features."

"Their customizable nature allows us to create scenarios that closely resemble real-world phishing attempts, making them highly relatable to our end users."

"This tool has great value for money with excellent features like unlimited cyber-attack simulation cycles, periodic assessment, employee hack records as well as gamified assessment."

Cons

"It can be more interactive with users. We want to put the users in different scenarios and let them make decisions. For example, instead of making users go through a video and then asking questions, it can have a video where they click on the scenarios and have to make decisions. It can maybe have something like a live simulation. It would be nice for users."

"Enhancing the product's emotional intelligence, particularly by providing training content tailored to specific audiences, is an area for improvement."

"It could be more localized for Ukrainian users. This platform is international, and it has a lot of material in different languages, but not in Ukrainian and Russian languages. There's plenty of different content updated regularly for English, French, and German users. They have a lot more information, and Ukrainian users also want more."

"The only thing that I found lacking in the product was SIEM integration. Other than that, the tool is a complete package. The training that the tool provides is well structured and user friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know the cost, but I believe we are paying yearly. We did like a three-year or five-year contract. I am not aware of any extra costs in addition to a standard licensing fee."

"Licensing is paid on a yearly basis. You can go to the official site to check their approximate pricing. It's based on the number of users or staff. It can vary from country to country, but for Ukraine, it works as it's stated on the site."

"I rate the product pricing as four out of ten."

Overview

Old school Security Awareness Training is static. It’s a one-time event without follow-up. KnowBe4's Kevin Mitnick Security Awareness Training starts with a baseline test to show the actual Phish-prone percentage of your users. Then it steps users through effective, interactive, on-demand browser-based training. As step three, you send frequent simulated phishing attacks to your employees to reinforce the training. This last feature, frequent simulated phishing attacks (we recommend at the very least once a month) really creates a change in behavior.

ThreatCop is an AI/ML-based security attack simulator and awareness tool that assesses the real-time threat posture of an organization from the people’s point of view and imparts awareness.
