Advanced Phishing Features
PhishER™ is your lightweight Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform to orchestrate your threat response and manage the high volume of potentially malicious messages reported by your users. Emails can be reported through the KnowBe4 Phish Alert Button or simply by forwarding to a mailbox. With automatic prioritization for emails, PhishER helps your InfoSec and Security Operations team cut through the inbox noise and respond to the most dangerous threats more quickly. Available as an optional add-on across all subscription levels.
Phishing Reply Tracking™ allows you to track if a user replies to a simulated phishing email and can capture the information sent in the reply. This feature works hand-in-hand with the simulated CEO Fraud attacks you can launch to inoculate high-risk employees.
Social Engineering Indicators™ (SEI) patented technology, turns every simulated phishing email into a tool IT can use to instantly train employees. When a user clicks on any of the 12,000+ KnowBe4 simulated phishing emails, they are routed to a landing page that includes a dynamic copy of that phishing email showing all the red flags. You can also customize any simulated phishing email and create your own red flags. Users can then immediately see the potential pitfalls and learn to spot the indicators they missed in the future.
USB Drive Test™ allows you to test your user’s reactions to unknown USBs, on average 45% of users will plug in USBs they find! You can download a special, "beaconized" Microsoft Office file from your KnowBe4 admin console onto any USB drive which you can drop at an on-site high traffic area. If an employee picks up the USB drive, plugs it in their workstation, and opens the file, it will "call home" and report the fail. Should a user also enable the macros in the file, then additional data is also tracked and made available in the admin console.
GEO-location lets you see where your simulated phishing attack failures are on a map, with drilldown capability and CSV-export options.
Vishing Security Tests using IVR attacks over phone (Gold level on up). Supports US and International, both pre-recorded messages and text-to-speech campaigns using system templates or admin-customized templates.
