KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training
Security awareness training and phishing simulation at enterprise scale
KnowBe4 is the dominant global vendor in security awareness training and phishing simulation, with one of the largest content libraries in the industry (videos, modules, posters, newsletters) and PhishER for user-reported phishing response. KnowBe4 complements rather than replaces an email security gateway: it targets the human layer, training users to recognise phishing and providing tools to triage what users report. For UAE customers building or maturing a security awareness program, KnowBe4 is the leading specialist.
The human layer of email security
KnowBe4 KMSAT (Kevin Mitnick Security Awareness Training) provides phishing simulation campaigns, an extensive training content library (Kevin Mitnick training, popular video series, compliance modules), and a learner LMS with assignments, certifications, and reporting. Phishing campaigns can use thousands of pre-built templates or custom-designed scenarios.
PhishER complements KMSAT by handling user-reported suspicious emails: users click a Phish Alert Button in Outlook or Gmail, PhishER auto-triages and clusters reports, removes related malicious messages from all mailboxes, and integrates with the SOC analyst workflow.

- Largest content library: thousands of videos, modules, posters, newsletters
- Phishing simulation: thousands of templates plus custom scenario builder
- PhishER: auto-triage of user-reported phish with clawback
- Risk scoring per user: continuous awareness posture per individual
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training Highlights
The specialist for the layer email gateways cannot reach
No email gateway catches 100% of phishing. The mail that gets through ultimately relies on user judgement. KnowBe4 is the leading platform for building, testing, and measuring that user judgement at scale. For UAE banks, healthcare, and regulated industries with compliance training mandates, KnowBe4 is consistently the leading shortlist option for the awareness layer.

AI agents detect phishing alongside the awareness platform
KnowBe4 Defend (formerly Egress) brings AI-native phishing, BEC, and supply-chain compromise detection alongside KMSAT. Behavioural baselines per user, anomaly detection, and contextual link analysis catch threats that signature engines miss.
User-reported phish auto-triaged with mailbox clawback at scale
PhishER handles user-reported suspicious emails: users click a Phish Alert Button in Outlook or Gmail, PhishER auto-triages and clusters reports, removes related malicious messages from all mailboxes via PhishRIP, and integrates with the SOC analyst workflow.
Thousands of templates including UAE-relevant brand impersonation scenarios
Phishing campaigns can use thousands of pre-built templates or custom-designed scenarios. We customise UAE-specific phishing scenarios (regional banks, courier services, government services) for higher realism with local workforces.
Continuous awareness posture per individual feeds conditional access
SmartRisk Agent assigns and updates a risk score for every employee based on simulated-phishing performance, real-world reporting behaviour, training completion, and Defend-flagged events. Per-user risk is the right unit of management, not per-policy or per-domain.
Magic Quadrant Leader for Email Security
KnowBe4 is named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security, validating the platform's combined approach to awareness training, phishing simulation, and reported-phish response.

Frequently asked
KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training questions we hear from UAE buyers

Barracuda Awareness is included in Barracuda Email Protection Premium. For a best-of-breed awareness program, KnowBe4 is consistently the leader.
