KnowBe4 introduces an all-in-one human risk management platform 

KnowBe4 has introduced HRM+, an all-in-one human risk management platform that tackles cybersecurity risk management for the AI era by making it personalised, relevant and adaptive.

Following the acquisition of Egress and based on years of AI and machine learning (ML) research and utilisation, KnowBe4 is venturing into a new market – human risk management. The fusion of KnowBe4’s industry-leading security awareness training with Egress’s AI-powered email security creates HRM+, a comprehensive solution to tackle the complexities of modern cybersecurity and foster a strong security culture. HRM+ integrates security awareness training, email security, anti-phishing, real-time coaching, AI defence agents and compliance training into a single, seamless platform.

Human risk is an exponential problem that will continue to magnify as more humans interact with technology in their daily lives. A recent study by KnowBe4 found that 62% of organisations surveyed experienced one or more cyber incidents in the last 12 months due to human risk. The average organisation experienced three different types of cyber incidents, each occurring three times on average, directly attributed to human risk. Users clicking on malicious links or attachments is a common issue, affecting 96% of organisations.

“Given the rapid evolution of today’s most prevalent cybersecurity threats, people remain the greatest point of vulnerability – and potentially the strongest defence – for any organisation’s security,” said Stu Sjouwerman, chief executive officer of KnowBe4. “Our new human risk management platform, HRM+, builds on KnowBe4’s reputation for excellence, with 47 of the top 50 cybersecurity firms trusting our suite of offerings to defend their organisations. This is a natural progression of KnowBe4’s growth trajectory and cements our future plans to elevate our presence in this new market.”
