Trusted by 70,000 organisations and with 50 million daily users, KnowBe4 is the world’s largest security awareness and simulated engineering platform. Tackling the human element of cybersecurity, KnowBe4 allows partners to help clients strengthen security culture, make smarter security decisions and recognise phishing threats.
KnowBe4 provides the most comprehensive library of engaging, localised content with robust user testing and assessments designed to change user behaviour and reduce risk. For partners, KnowBe4 not only allows you to lower clients’ risk by targeting the human element of cybersecurity but it also supports compliance efforts and meeting cyber insurance regulations.
KnowBe4 has proven to be a powerful weapon against phishing threats, helping customers improve their ‘human firewall’ and reducing risk.
Social engineering tactics continue to evolve and today’s cybercriminals use advanced tactics to create deepfakes and highly targeted phishing campaigns to manipulate users and bypass technical defences. This human risk element makes up 68% of breaches, clearly showing that this is a critical vulnerability in cybersecurity.
KnowBe4 directly tackles these challenges, educating users to recognise threats and giving them the skills to make better security decisions. Through continuous training and real-world simulations, KnowBe4 turns users into a strong line of defence, providing clients with a proactive approach to mitigating vulnerabilities and strengthening overall security posture.
Elovade UK&I have partnered with The Zensory, a module part of KnowBe4. Designed to guide users to a better mindset through a science-backed well-being and productivity toolkit, The Zensory toolkit offers short, high-impact, and focused interventions.
Through binaural beats, nature sounds, interactive touchpad doodles, and breathing cues, users can utilise this toolkit throughout the workday before checking emails, starting presentations, or in between meetings. Among many of its benefits, The Zensory has shown up to a 70% reduction in phishing click-rates.

I recently came across a report highlighting a trend where cybercriminals were more frequently targeting individuals in senior roles with phishing emails. While this may seem surprising initially, it's understandable given that time pressures and extensive responsibilities often come with leadership positions. In my experience, I've observed that many directors and members of higher management find it challenging to prioritise cybersecurity training due to their busy schedules.

Last month, thousands of businesses worldwide were affected by an IT outage due to a technical issue with CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity firm. Fortunately, the outage was not a result of a cyberattack, but the fallout from the event went beyond just operational interruptions and became a playground for cybercriminals looking to exploit the chaos.

Email security is a hot topic, with 8.3 billion emails sent daily in the UK and new DMARC policies being enforced. Social engineering and phishing attacks can easily be the chink in your cybersecurity armour, with humans the first layer of defence.
