Waytek is excited about our new partnership with KnowBe4 in helping you identify weak spots in your organization. In partnership with KnowBe4, we now have the technology to actually send fake phishing to your users to test and then train them in being safer with their emails. As you probably know, phishing is the practice of sending emails that seem to be from reputable companies, etc., in order to con users into revealing personal information, such as passwords and credit cards that are then used for criminal purposes.
Phishing and training your users as your line of defense is one of the best ways to protect yourself from attacks. Here are the four basic steps to follow:
- Baseline Testing to assess the Phish-prone percentage of your users before training them. You want to know the level of attack they will and won’t fall for as well as have data to measure future success.
- Train your Users with on-demand, interactive and engaging training so they really get the message.
- Phish your Users at least once a month to reinforce the training and continue the learning process.
- See the Results for both training and phishing, getting as close to 0% Phish-prone as you possibly can.
This is a game changer in ensuring that your users are employing the optimal safe practices when using email and the internet.
Many of your email addresses and identities are exposed on the internet, making easy to be attacked by cybercriminals. With those attacks, criminals can launch social engineering, speer phishing and ransomware attacks on your organization. Another feature that we offer through our partnership with KnowBe4 is the Exposure Check Pro, which identifies at-risk users in your organization by crawling hundreds of breach databases.
First, this (program) does deep web searches to find any publicly available organizational data, which will show you what your organizational structure looks like to an attacker. Next, it finds users that have had their account information exposed at any of several hundred breaches. These are the more at-risk users, because the attacker knows more about these users, including their passwords.
When this program is complete, we will email you back a summary PDF of the number of exposed emails, identities and risk levels found. You will get a link to the full detailed report of actual users found, including breach name, and if a password was exposed.
This is ground breaking protection to identify if your user credentials have been compromised and to protect your organization from any damage. Contact us with any questions about our new partnership and what it can mean for you.
