KnowBe4's research demonstrates that effective Security Awareness Training (SAT), especially when combined with simulated phishing, significantly reduces human cyber risk and the likelihood of real-world breaches.

Most ransomware and phishing attacks stem from social engineering, and KnowBe4 customers breached before joining experienced fewer incidents after implementing SAT. Frequent training and phishing simulations directly correlate with improved security, and SAT is now often required for cyber insurance coverage.
