How does KnowBe4's approach differ from traditional security awareness training?

KnowBe4 treats security awareness as a risk-based control rather than a compliance requirement, moving away from one-size-fits-all training toward an adaptive approach that targets training based on real user behavior and identifies where specific users struggle with threats.

What results can organizations expect from implementing KnowBe4's security awareness training?

Organizations that consistently use KnowBe4 typically see measurable reductions in successful phishing attempts over time, with users becoming more engaged and confident in identifying threats through realistic scenarios and targeted training, ultimately building a stronger security culture with quantifiable reduction in human risk.

TL;DR

CertiVend needed a security awareness solution that treated training as a risk-based control, not just a compliance requirement, to address varying user behaviors and threat exposures.
KnowBe4's adaptive platform enabled targeted training based on real user behavior while providing leadership with holistic visibility into organizational security strengths, gaps, and trends.
Organizations using KnowBe4 consistently see measurable reductions in successful phishing attempts through realistic scenarios and behavior-driven training that builds user confidence in threat identification.

Summary

Edward Bizera, CEO and founder of CertiVend, a vendor-side security certification and attestation company, shares how his organization addressed the challenge of managing human-centric security risk at scale. Recognizing that users have varying behaviors, awareness levels, and threat exposures, CertiVend sought a solution that treated security awareness as a risk-based control rather than a compliance checkbox. KnowBe4's platform enabled CertiVend to move away from one-size-fits-all training toward an adaptive, behavior-driven approach that identifies where users struggle and targets training accordingly. The result is a more engaged workforce that demonstrates measurable improvement in identifying phishing attempts and social engineering tactics, ultimately building a stronger security culture with quantifiable reduction in human risk over time.
