I had experience with other products before KnowBe4, specifically we had Sophos Phish Threat for three years, but the catalog of training, video, and simulated phishing has some limits. Last February, the contract ended and we tried to select other security awareness training applications. In this case, we selected KnowBe4.

Regarding the comprehensive reporting feature with Sophos Phish Threat, one of the features we desired was a better reporting system. You can segment by department or others, but you can only export the report as a CSV and then you have to organize it in Excel.

I use Sophos Phish Threat to test employee security awareness. Essentially, my clients utilize Phish Threat to ensure that users are not clicking on suspicious emails or links. It is a simulated campaign that I set up, so it is not a major threat, however, it allows me to identify vulnerable human resources within an environment.

The main use case for Sophos Phish Threat is security awareness training for users and employees in their offices to gain knowledge of cybersecurity hygiene, including how to use emails and how to avoid phishing and spam emails that are coming into the inboxes. Their aim is to give them an awareness of the cybersecurity part.

I have a customer who faces problems with phishing, and they wanted to have Sophos Central mail separate emails from spam or phishing emails, for example, by using SPS verification. But the user is the weak point. And the customer wanted to train their users and test their knowledge. We made a proof of concept for this customer and applied Phish Threat to around 100 users out of almost 8,000 users. The customer was happy to see that 100 users received the phishing test, an email, and just ten or 12 users clicked on it. The users were then directed to the training videos. The customer felt it was a great solution and told all their customers about it. CSOs and CIOs mainly value the solution.

The primary use case of Sophos Phish Threat is to educate users on identifying fraudulent or spam links, thereby preventing them from clicking on malicious links.

The major use cases attached to the solution stem from the fact that my company caters to the needs of a lot of customers who use the solution and haven't faced any problems with it or any malware, spyware, or ransomware attacks.

Sophos Phish Threat is primarily used for email. It is used for filtering and securing your email.

Sophos Phish Threat product is the solution we integrated into our infrastructure when I became the Chief Information Security Officer. It is a good solution because it is used for sensitizing our staff to the risk linked to information security. Additionally, we measure and confirm the efficiency of staff after awareness campaigns. If they are not fully aware then they have to complete the training again.

Sophos Phish Threat is a phishing simulation email platform.

The solution is mostly used in the banking sector when they want to have penetration testing. They use this tool to check if they are compliant with the policies and procedures of the financial institute. That use case was one I was told to be engaged with and aware I am of that.

The solution is primarily used to help users be aware of threats. We can train users to help them understand how to work with the security features, security threats, and security attacks. It is like a training center.

We are a solution provider and I am currently implementing this security product for a financial institution.
