KnowBe4 sends simulated phishing emails to employees, tracks who clicks, and assigns short training to the people who do, with reporting that satisfies most compliance frameworks. It also runs a library of awareness modules on passwords, ransomware, and social engineering, plus a free phishing risk assessment to start with. Organizations buy it because a simulated click is the cheapest way to find the weakest link before an attacker does.
Who it is for
IT and compliance managers at mid-size organizations facing audit requirements.
