The Key Elements of Security Awareness Training
KnowBe4 cyber security training has 5 core elements.
1. Baseline Testing
- Baseline testing allows you to assess your users through a free simulated phishing attack.
- Start your test for up to 100 users immediately.
- Customise the phishing test template based on your environment.
- Choose the landing page your users see after they click.
- Show users the red flags they missed.
- Receive your results within 24 hours of the test, comparing your business to others in your industry along with charts to share with management.
2. User Training
- KnowBe4 provides the world’s largest library of security–awareness training content, including interactive modules, videos, games, posters and newsletters, with over 1,000 items continually updated. A dedicated compliance library is available as an optional add-on.
- Basic training modules range from 5 to 45 minutes in length and focus on helping employees understand the mechanisms of spam, phishing, spear–phishing, malware, ransomware and social engineering, as well as how apply this knowledge in daily activities.
- Training comes in three levels, all web–based, on demand and appropriate to your business size and type. Training is fully interactive, fun and engaging, with gamification allowing your users to compete against their peers on leaderboards and earn badges.
- Training combines common traps, live demonstration videos, short comprehension tests and scenario-based “danger-zone” exercises, all available in over 30 languages. Trainees also receive unique job-aids such as checklists on what to watch out for and how to block attacks.
3. User Assessments
- With Knowbe4 assessments, you can gauge your users’ security awareness proficiency and measure your organisation’s overall security posture. The assessments help you tailor training to address proficiency gaps and weaknesses and monitor the impact your training has on improving user knowledge and security awareness over time.
- Benchmark your organisation’s security awareness proficiency score against other companies in your industry across seven key security knowledge areas, and track benchmark improvements over time.
4. Phishing Simulation
- Schedule regular phishing tests from a library of over 8,000 templates, or create your own. See how your “human firewall” improves and your security risk reduces over time.
- Schedule your desired frequency of simulated attacks across email, text and phone and track user replies, the links they click on, and whether they open attachments and enable macros.
- Schedule remedial training where an employee falls for an attack, tailored to their response.
- Install KnowBe4’s Phish Alert button so users can report suspicious emails with one click. Alerts feed into the admin console, allowing you to take immediate action.
See The Results
- The enterprise-level reporting module helps you measure the effectiveness of your training, with a range of views, report customisation, graphs and dashboards to aide presentation to management and to clearly demonstrate the ROI of the programme.
- Evaluate risk at user, group and organisational level, with actionable metrics enabling data-driven decisions for your security awareness and compliance plans.
- Integrate with other business systems and compare results between accounts, business teams or locations
- Assign granular access control and custom permissions for users and groups within the KnowBe4 console enabling, for example, HR teams to access reporting at an individual level.
