ShareCompleting the 2025 KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training is a highly important first step in keeping your organization safeguarded against cyber-attacks. Ensuring every employee is properly trained in safeguarding the organization’s data, systems, and reputation is critical. The 30-minute cyber training provided through KnowBe4 covered today’s most prevalent cyber risks and best practices for everyone to follow.
While organizations may invest heavily in firewalls, encryption, antivirus, and monitoring, employees remain the front line of defense. A single careless click of a malicious link can bypass all those security technologies and put an organization at risk. Vigilance and good cyber practices installed into each member of the organization is essential.
Phishing remains the #1 attack vector for hackers. The training emphasized:
- Watch for suspicious email addresses, typos, and urgent requests.
- Be cautious with links and attachments, even if they appear to come from a colleague.
- Use the hover-over technique to check URLs before clicking.
- Never share credentials through email or text.
Social engineering was also highlighted where attackers exploit human trust. Whether it’s a fake call from “IT support” or a fraudulent invoice, employees must pause, verify, and escalate when something feels off. Perhaps the most important message is making sure to report social engineering attempts. When in doubt, report it out.
The 2025 KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training was a timely reminder that cybersecurity is an ongoing commitment. Threats are evolving, but so is our ability to defend against them. Every employee must stay alert, cautious, and proactive. By applying these principles from the training, we can transform from being a potential weak link into the organization’s strongest defense.
