KnowBe4 is one of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing tools available on the market today. Used by more than 65 000 companies around the world, the platform design was created by one of the world’s most famous cybersecurity specialists, Kevin Mitnick, hacker-turned-chief-hacking-officer for KnowBe4. The platform helps companies train those pesky humans so they stop clicking on those risky links. We talk to David Reynders, CTO and CIO at Merchant Capital, and Roscoe Petersen, head of cybersecurity at Cyber Logic, about how they’ve used KnowBe4 in their businesses. 

“We found there were issues, with people not knowing how to identify phishing emails,” says Petersen. “It was clear that the training we had done before wasn’t landing the right messaging around these security topics. Not just phishing, but also other aspects of cybersecurity.”
