How it works

How our security awareness training works

A simple, proven four-step programme that measures your starting point, trains your people and shows the progress you’re making.

Step 01

Get your baseline

Before any training begins, we assess your baseline Phish-prone Percentage with an initial simulated phishing attack to find out how many users click a ‘malicious’ link.

Step 02

Train your users

Using the world’s largest library of training resources, we start educating users on how to spot the red flags associated with malicious phishing emails.

Step 03

Start phishing!

Put training into practice with automated simulated phishing attacks. Create custom tests in minutes by role, seniority or location for maximum realism.

Step 04

See the results

Ready-made reporting shows progress from day one, so you can demonstrate engagement, effectiveness and ROI to management.

Transform threat detection into immediate protection

Automatically remove phishing emails from ALL inboxes

A single user reporting a live phishing email is great, but what if that email is still sitting in colleagues’ inboxes? Even unopened, it still poses a live threat.

PhishRIP is how you quickly and easily remediate. Once flagged, it automatically searches for and removes that email from ALL your users’ inboxes across Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

Train teams with safe, real-life phishing emails

PhishFlip automatically turns real, user-reported phishing emails into safe simulated phishing campaigns within your KnowBe4 platform.

These “flipped” emails become powerful real-world training opportunities, giving users a true, real-time insight into the methods attackers are using to target them.

FAQs

Security awareness training FAQs

What is security awareness training?

Security awareness training is designed to help educate employees on how to recognise and respond to cyber threats such as phishing emails and social engineering. Human error and manipulation are the leading causes of cybersecurity incidents.

Why is security awareness training important?

Employees are regularly targeted by cyber attackers via phishing emails, social media scams and phone calls. Statistically, human error is the most likely cause of a future cyber incident or breach. Even strong technical defences can be defeated by a single click on a phishing email, leading to a serious breach.

What types of security awareness training are there?

In addition to training users to spot and report phishing emails, CyberKainos also offers security awareness training for:

  • Good password management practices, including safe password-sharing tools that aid collaboration without risking security
  • Developing and maintaining safe browsing practices
  • Making sure users know how to report their suspicions to security teams, and that they are actively encouraged to do so
How much does KnowBe4 cost?

KnowBe4 is delivered as a SaaS subscription, priced per seat per month and billed annually. Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond subscription levels are available to meet different needs. Think of it as buying each of your users a coffee each month, but with far greater benefits. As a trusted KnowBe4 partner, CyberKainos can procure licences at highly competitive prices.

Who needs security awareness training?

Every employee who is considered an IT user should be given access to security awareness training. Not all training should be the same, however. It should vary by factors such as job role, location and level of access to sensitive data, as these determine the level of risk they and the organisation face.

Does security awareness training help with compliance?

Yes. Many regulations and standards, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and NIST, require organisations to demonstrate ongoing employee cybersecurity education. Security awareness training provides the evidence you need to show compliance during audits.

CyberKainos supports 96 global frameworks and standards through the Aegis Platform including:
